Marketing help by the hour
For a single task, or a book you published elsewhere. Outside costs such as ads or review platforms are passed on at cost.
How we work
Honest help, no promises we can’t keep.
A first book sells mostly through the people who already know its author. We help you reach them: a clear listing, a press kit, a launch plan, and real conversations with Washington bookstores, libraries and local press.
- We pitch; we never promise sales numbers, rankings, “bestseller” status, reviews or press coverage.
- Reviews stay honest. Free advance copies for honest reviews, disclosed. No paid reviews, no review swaps, no reviews from family.
- Outside costs at cost. Review platforms, ads or website hosting are passed on with no markup, and ads only ever run on your own capped budget.
