Get your book into the hands of readers who need it.

You’ve done the hard work of writing your book. Now it’s time to share it with the world. At Root & Bud, we partner with you to not only launch your book with intention—but to market it sustainably in the months that follow. Whether you're preparing for launch day or navigating life after release, we’re here to help you build momentum without the burnout.

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 Support for the Year Ahead

    Keep the momentum going long after book launch day. We help you build a sustainable marketing plan to continue sharing your book in ways that feel true to you -- without the 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:

✔️ Discover & Define – We begin with a strategy session to understand your goals, audience, and timeline.

✔️ Plan & Prepare – We develop a launch or marketing plan tailored to you and your book.

✔️ Create & Share – We support you in creating content, pitching opportunities, and showing up where it matters most.

✔️ Refine & Sustain – After launch, we help you continue showing up—with guidance that evolves with your goals.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.
