Frequently Asked Questions

Book discovery is the process by which readers find your book. It includes everything from search and recommendation algorithms to word of mouth, book club discussions, and community engagement. It is about making sure your book appears in front of the right readers at the right time.

Book marketing is a broad term for all the activities you do to promote your book. Book discovery is a specific focus within that: it is about ensuring your book is findable and visible to the readers who are most likely to love it. Discovery is a critical component of any successful marketing strategy, but it's a distinct discipline with its own tactics and tools.

I work with authors across the publishing spectrum: self-published, independent, and traditionally published. I also work with debut authors and authors who have existing books that are struggling to reach readers.

Yes, absolutely. Self-published authors are some of my primary clients. I help them navigate the complex world of book discoverability and build strategies to reach their ideal readers.

Yes. Even with a traditional publisher, authors can benefit from a strategic discovery approach. I work with traditionally published authors to complement their publisher's efforts and build additional visibility.

I work across all genres, including fiction (literary, commercial, romance, mystery, sci-fi, fantasy, and more) and non-fiction (memoir, self-help, business, and more). The principles of book discovery apply broadly, and I tailor strategies to each genre's specific reader communities.

No. I do not and cannot guarantee book sales, bestseller status, or any specific metric. What I do offer is a strategic approach to visibility, discoverability, and reader engagement that gives your book the best possible chance to reach the right readers.

I do not provide fake reviews or guarantee reviews. I can help you connect with reviewers who are interested in your genre and build relationships with book bloggers and reviewers organically.
