Why book marketing matters

Your words matter. And so does the way they reach your readers. A thoughtful marketing plan helps your book find its audience, build connection, and create impact—not just on launch day, but in the seasons that follow. We believe book marketing should be as meaningful and intentional as the book itself. That’s why we work with you to craft strategies that feel aligned with your message, your goals, and your capacity.

We support authors through:

Book Launch Strategy & Planning

From pre-launch timelines to launch week campaigns, we’ll help you prepare for release day.

Marketing for the Days Ahead

Keep the momentum going after book launch day with a marketing plan that enables you to share your book in ways that feel true to you without burnout or overwhelm.

Content & Platform Support

Not sure what to say or where to show up? We’ll help you develop content, optimize your platforms, and create a presence that grows your reader community.

Here’s how we work together:

1 / Discover & Define

We begin with a strategy session to understand your goals, audience, and timeline.

2 / Plan & Prepare

We develop a launch or marketing plan tailored to you and your book.

3 / Create & Share

We support you in creating content, pitching opportunities, and showing up where it matters most.

4 / Refine & Sustain

After launch, we help you continue showing up—with guidance that evolves with your goals.

This service is a great fit for you if…

MaryBeth's expertise and dedicated support were huge factors in the success of my first book launch. She offered sound advice throughout the process and easily managed details that had felt daunting to me. Thanks to MaryBeth, my book launch was smoother and less stressful than I could have imagined. She is both professional and personable. I couldn't be happier with my experience!

Shay Mason, Author
I couldn't have done it without her! I launched my first book in December 2022 and to say MaryBeth was instrumental in the success of the launch doesn't even feel adequate. She had everything planned out, set up, and organized. All I had to do was show up and be me! I have recommended MaryBeth to any of my author friends launching a book and can't wait to hire her for more.

Sonya Mack, Author, Entrepreneur
MaryBeth was a great help to me as I launched my first book. She walked me through every step of the process and taught me about some things that I didn't know how to do. She was professional and organized, and I was very pleased with the work she did to help spread the word about my book.
