Review of Back Cover Promotional Copy

Your Book Description on the back of your book is one of the first thing potential buyers will read when they pickup a copy of your book. The back cover Book Description is also what appears at the top of your book listing on BookstandPublishing.com, Amazon, Barnesandnoble.com and other online stores. To sell books, your Book Description needs to be as strong and compelling as possible.

For a nominal fee, one of Bookstand Publishing marketing professionals will review your back cover Book Description and make recommendations to improve your Book Description from a promotional and marketing perspective.

Marketing Starter Kit

Word-of-mouth marketing is key to building book sales. Whether it's passing out business cards to colleagues and friends or sending postcards about your book to prospects, our Marketing Starter Kit is a great first step to promoting your book. With this kit you receive:

Press Release

We will prepare a 300 – 400 word (single page) Press Release for your book to generate interest and buzz for your book. We will send you the final copy as an electronic PDF file, suitable for duplication, so you can print it out and send it with promotional copies of your book as a part of your marketing efforts. Additionally, we will release it on SBwire to local media contacts, post it on Google and host it on Bookstand Publishing’s Press Release page.

National Press Release Distribution

Want additional exposure?

We can take your Press Release (created using our Press Release service above) and distribute it to media at daily newspapers, TV and news radio in all U.S. states, top 1,000 daily newspapers (except approx. 500 small town daily papers); online placement, RSS, social networks; national magazine with applicable news content. It is best to do this about 2 to 4 weeks after distributing the release on SBWire for maximum effectiveness.

Promotional Poster

Book signings and Speaking Engagements are great ways to market and sell your book. We will create a 20” by 30” glossy full color poster of your book cover and relevant event information so you can better promote your book at Book Signings and Speaking Engagements. Price includes UPS Ground Shipping within the United States.

A promotional Sell Sheet is a must for your Book Signings and Speaking Engagements.
