Hello Amira,
You reviewed two Tasmanian crime novels last winter, so I think Mara Ellison's debut is one for you. The Last Tide is set on a lighthouse station cut off by a storm, and it turns on a letter that should have arrived twenty years earlier.
Three things that may be useful:
Would you like one? I can have it to you this week.
Thanks,

This is the report format you receive each week. The figures are examples to show the layout, not results from a client campaign.
Campaign samples created for fictional books to show the work and the formats. The titles, authors, outlets and figures are not real.
A debut thriller and a business title reach their readers in completely different places, so the mix is built around your book, not a standard package.
Keyword and category campaigns where readers are already searching for the next book in your genre.
Cover reveals, trailers and quote cards targeted to AU and NZ readers of comparable books.
Advance copies and a pitch written for each outlet, from trade press to category bloggers and reader groups.
Pitching to shows your readers listen to, with talking points prepared before you go on.
Submissions to library platforms and local stores, where a single stock order reaches many readers.
Reader newsletters and featured deals, the cheapest way to reach people who buy in your category.
Evidence first, then a dated plan, then weekly reporting you can actually read.
Who buys books like yours, what they already read, and where they look. Everything else follows from this.
A 90-day plan with milestones, channels and a budget, agreed before anything goes live.
Ads live, copies out, pitches sent, and the launch window worked while attention is highest.
Weekly spend reports, creative rotated on what works, and a plain summary at ninety days.
Including the one nobody in this industry should dodge.
You get a dated launch plan before launch week: positioning and metadata first, then advance copies to reviewers, trade press and podcast pitching, ads across the channels that suit your category, and a plain summary at the end of the ninety days.
That depends on your category and your price point. We build the campaign around a budget you set, and report the spend weekly, so you always know what your money bought before you commit more.
Usually a mix of Amazon Ads, Meta, BookBub and Google, plus reviewer and trade press outreach, podcast pitching, and library and bookstore submissions. The mix depends on where your readers already look for books.
No, and nobody honestly can. What we commit to is the work, the reporting and the optimisation: the plan, the outreach, the ads and a weekly account of what happened.
The finished book, its cover and metadata, your author bio and photo, and any reviews or endorsements you already have. If the book is not out yet, the earlier we start, the more the launch window can do.
Yes. A backlist campaign works differently from a launch: we usually start with metadata and categories, then run ads to see what the book can sustain before spending more.
Send us the title, the genre and your release date. You get a plan and a proposed budget before a cent is spent on ads.
