BookTrib has become an integral part of book launches and promotions. Through their program and a stellar review, they introduced my novel to tens of thousands of readers, which has resulted in a major increase in online and bookstore sales. I can't imagine releasing a book without them.

How do you build my audience?

BookTrib has a variety of programs to place you front and center among a community of passionate readers, as well as offerings that get you wide exposure in general consumer media.

Lots of book marketing companies make big promises but fall short on delivery. How are you different?

We tell you up front exactly what to expect – what we will do and what we won’t do. This transparency and ability to meet and exceed client expectations is why we’ve been in business for 20 years and why authors come back to us again and again.

How many books will I sell if I use BookTrib?

Lots and lots, we hope. But there’s a big step between investing dollars in marketing and counting coins in the cash register – and that’s getting known. Before people love you, they need to learn more about you. Every BookTrib program is designed to do just that – get you in front of thousands of readers.

What is the size of the BookTrib audience?

We have more than 95,000 unique monthly visitors, generating more than 1,700,000 monthly search impressions, and have 225,000 social followers.

Do your programs extend beyond the BookTrib audience?

Yes, our press release is distributed to 8,000 news outlets, our BookBites syndicated column is sent to 10,000 local newspapers, and our New York Post feature reaches 480,000 daily subscribers.

It’s impossible to get the attention of book clubs. Do you have any programs that can achieve that?

Yes, we have a network of 50+ book clubs around the country to which we send a box of books every month. Your book could be in those boxes.

Do you focus on books of a certain genre?

BookTrib covers many different genres for a diverse audience: fiction, thrillers, romance, nonfiction, memoirs, young adult, children, science fiction/fantasy, business, self-help, spiritual and much more.

What if I’m already working with a publisher or PR firm?

That’s a great start. BookTrib works with publishers and publicists every day because we can guarantee something they can’t – your book in front of a large audience of hungry readers thirsting to discover new authors just like you.

How long will it take me to get known by an audience of readers?

Book marketing is a marathon, not a sprint. The more you do and the sooner you do it, the better your chances. There’s an old saying that it takes many impressions to make an impression. But have patience and stay the course.

How much will it cost?

BookTrib has programs to fit every budget, all designed to get more readers to know about you and your work.
