The biggest challenge for authors is transitioning from being a writer to being an author, which are two totally different occupations. Many authors have the mindset that once they are published, their publisher handles all marketing and the sales come in like magic. In today's world, that is not reality, no matter how you are published. Written by publisher and author, Terri Ann Leidich, and author marketing coach and support, Julie Bromley, this book simplifies marketing by taking the approach of Get Ready, Get Set, Succeed, putting marketing tasks into a logical order of what needs to be done and when so authors don't have to figure that out for themselves.

Reviews:
"Book Marketing for Authors contains a wealth of valuable information. This guide for both traditionally published and self-published authors, is a book to be read, reread, and kept close for reference. Within the pages, every aspect of book marketing received a thorough discussion in easy-to-understand steps and assessable language. Why try to reinvent the wheel? I'm happy to let the combined wisdom of professionals in the field save me the time. This book has inspired me to see marketing in a new way. And as the authors continually say, keeping it fun." - Margaret Lukas, author of River People and The Broken Statue.
"Book Marketing for Authors is absolutely dedicated to your success as an author. Every facet of publishing and the business of being an author is detailed in this book. It is a balance of bullet points and clear descriptions that immediately amplify the route to take to make your book known to the world. Terri Leidich and Julie Bromley know what they are doing. They have guided my success and my five books continue to sell in over 40 countries." - Tina Zion, author of Be Your Own Medical Intuitive
"Book Marketing for Authors by Terri Ann Leidich and Julie Bromley is a clear-eyed manual that will help any author, whether they are self-published, with an indy press, or even a major publishing house, to market their books more successfully.
Leidich and Bromley have years of experience helping authors succeed in the marketplace. They have distilled that experience into a blueprint that is concise, but comprehensive. They cover everything from defining your brand to building a website to establishing a social media presence to creating and implementing a marketing plan.
The book is packed with information. What makes it an exceptional resource, is that Leidich and Bromley understand, having published several hundred books, that every writer is unique and what works for some will not work for others. They make it clear that there isn't one magical path to success. They encourage authors to develop a plan they are comfortable with.
Book marketing is a business and if you want your book to find a readership, you have to come up with an effective marketing program. Book Marketing for Authors is an excellent resource for helping an author achieve that goal." - Len Joy, author of Everyone Dies Famous
"Book Marketing for Authors, Get Ready, Get Set, Succeed! by Terri Ann Leidich and Julie Bromley explains everything a new author needs to know, presented in a logical, organized, and straightforward format. The book is not so long as to get bogged down in its reading. Instead, it takes each major subject, explains its importance and how to approach it, then directs you to website or organizations where you can learn in more detail, if desired. It stresses that you do not have to do everything, but rather, focus on things that come naturally to you. Most importantly, it gives you a timeline of what you should do when. For example, endorsements and editorial reviews should be sought at least three or four months prior to the book's release. This enables the publisher to incorporate good reviews on the back cover or within the book on the "praise page."
I cannot say enough about Book Marketing for Authors. Its clarity and its excellent advice ranks it high above other "how to" books on this subject. I know because I have looked!" - Patricia M. Meir, Media Manager for Daniel V. Meier, Jr., author of The Dung Beetles of Liberia; No Birds Sing Here; and Bloodroot
"There are many books on the craft of writing but few on the essential task of marketing a book. Leidich and Bromley offer a comprehensive look at all aspects of marketing needed to become a successful author." - Fauzia Burke, author of Online Marketing for Busy Authors, President of FSB Associates, and Co-Founder of Pub Site
Most marketing books aimed at authors and writers are somewhere along the lines of “I Sold 40 Million Copies And You Can Too!” They feel like infomercials and they have no useful information for the average author. This book is the opposite of that in every way. I would highly recommend this book to writers and authors, regardless of where they are in their publishing journey, but especially self published authors. The book is written in an approachable way, and includes specific steps that writers and authors can take to strengthen their book marketing. The book doesn’t offer instant success, instead reminding the reader that it’s a marathon. The book covers a wide range of topics, from author websites to launch events to social media. And best of all, the focus is on being creative and on enjoying the process - taking a lot of fear out of it. I’m pleased that this book was written for authors - the language doesn’t talk down to authors but still meets them where they are in the process. I really enjoyed this read. - NetGalley Reviewer
An excellent resource for writers. A recommended purchase for nonfiction collections where writing craft books are popular. - NetGalley Reviewer
A book that I will constantly refer to as an author. It has all the material that I need to market my books. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for giving me an advance copy of this book. - NetGalley Reviewer
I read Book Marketing for Authors: Get Read, Get Set, Succeed! (Terri Ann Leidich and Julie Bromley), and as the author of a number of books already I was pleased and surprised to discover some new tactics to try for my next book launch. I took a page of notes and while that means there is more work ahead of me, I think I’ll have a solid plan drawn from their advice. The book has elements that are US-centric and therefore less useful to non-US readers, but there was still plenty that would apply to authors from anywhere, and lots of tips for how to leverage social media and the internet more broadly to earn followers and fans. Practical, up-to-date advice for self-published and traditionally published authors, whether you have only an ebook or print book as well. - NetGalley Reviewer
BOOK MARKETING FOR AUTHORS gives a nice, thorough overview of how to build a lasting career as an author. From defining your brand to building a network to placing ads, one can find all the pieces that make up how to get a book to its ideal readers and how to get those readers to return for the next book. This book includes both traditional publishing and independent publishing, but I think indie authors would get more use from it. It doesn't delve too much into detail on many topics, but it's a solid, comprehensive place to start that will point you toward various avenues to pursue in greater detail. - NetGalley Reviewer
