Marketing your book
Will you market my book?
Answer:
To launch your book in the market, we make sure your title is included in the catalogues of the book wholesalers Libri, Umbreit and Schweizer Buchzentrum.
What can I do to market my book?
Answer:
If you want to reach as many readers as possible, you should define your title’s target group and address it directly. The main focus should be on publicity work, in other words: presenting your title in a press release which is sent to various editorial departments who talk to your circle of readers. Another marketing activity we recommend is the organization of readings. To help you make your book a true commercial success, we offer you many different PR and advertising services.
How long will my book be in print?
Why am I not on the list of authors at www.bod.de?
Answer:
We will be pleased to include your title on our home page. All you have to do is fill in the author portrait form on the online portal myBoD and send it to us. Your author portrait will then be processed and put online soon. You may change the information you have supplied at any time using the same online form.
Why is my cover not shown at amazon.com or libri.de?
Answer:
We pass on the information about your title (brief copy and cover) to Libri’s bookseller catalogue. This is where such online bookstores as libri.de and amazon.com get their data. Four to six weeks may pass from the date of your release to your title being shown completely, as online bookstores enter data at certain intervals which we cannot influence.
