Book Marketing
Congratulations on writing your book!
Now comes the exciting (and sometimes daunting) task of getting it into the hands of readers.
In today's crowded marketplace, effective book marketing is crucial for success. But beyond the page lies the challenge: navigating an industry fraught with rejection, confusion and technical knowledge.
A self-published author needs knowledge and a targeted strategy to reach their ideal audience and make their book stand out. If you are published by an independent press, they may not have the marketing resources you need. In both cases, your book marketing maybe solely up to you.

Marketing Books: A Roadmap for Authors
You will undoubtedly have been offered a multitude of marketing services for your book. From beta readers to paid reviews, from Instagram shoutouts to Facebook ads. At DreamEngine, we have seen it all!
On this page we will only look at what, through our experience, works towards you getting fulfilment as an author and selling more books.
It is also good to remember, that selling books is incredible difficult, and weighing your success as an author by that alone is doing yourself a disservice. A few great reviews, a heartfelt message on social media or seeing your book in your local bookstore, should mean a whole lot more.

You are selling your story and very importantly, you!
People will buy your books because they like you.
The more people that get to know about you, the more books you will sell.
