A word from our authors about the Social Media Set-Up Option...
Jim Maryott
Every building needs a foundation. Likewise, every author needs a platform, which is like the building's foundation. Your platform gives you a firm, solid foundation to speak from, as well as gives your advertising message continuity, throughout your marketing campaign. I am thankful for my author platform.
John Camp
I signed up for Author Platform Set-up Through Social Media because email is about the extent of my online social experience. Outskirts sent me an impressive list of my new marketing outlets. At that point I saw a great deal of potential but still didn't know how to make it work, so I signed up for five hours of Book Marketing Specialist. I am looking forward to touting my raw material on sites across the web.

With the exploding popularity of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest and other social media sites, it’s easier than ever to connect with people all around the world – if you know how to do it. But, if you’re not sure how to get started or are unsure about how to make connections with your target audience, Outskirts Press can help!
Many, if not most, of the people who would want to buy your book are active on social media – and social media costs nothing! Why not take advantage of the power of the Internet – the power to reach people all over the world from the comfort of your home – to establish a compelling and welcoming social media environment where your readers will find you?
Here’s how it works:
Once you order the Author Platform Set-up Through Social Media, you’re well on your way to reaching thousands of avid readers. Before you know it, you’ll have high-profile accounts set up for you and established on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. Not only that – but we’ll connect you with relevant users on each platform with a minimum of effort on your part. Your target audience will be defined and you can start connecting right away.
The Author Platform Set-up Through Social Media is right for you, if:
- You’re confused about social media. How do you post updates and pictures or other relevant and compelling information on social media? Does the method vary between social media platforms? Where do these messages go, and who sees them? If just getting past the basics of social media fills you with anxiety, we can do all the legwork for you.
- You’re not sure how to distinguish yourself as an author online. The updates you post as an author are bound to differ from the ones you post just for your friends and family. Your audience – and your reasons for communicating with them – are distinctly different. Your social media guru can help you establish an author presence online that helps you achieve specific marketing goals.
- You want to build and maintain an ongoing relationship with your audience. Social media is the ideal way to connect with a target audience on an immediate and consistent basis. Did you just get a glowing book review? Are you working on a sequel? Is your new book ready for release? Want to get the word out about a sale or other special offers? Social media is the place to do that in a timely manner.
- Time is not on your side. With your Social Media Author Platform, a few clicks can keep you connected with your audience.
You’ve spent months, maybe even years, crafting your book. Now’s the time to ensure that it reaches a broader audience. With your Author Platform Set-up from Outskirts Press, you can take advantage of the many communication tools built into social media.

Lawrence N. Weston
author of Avoiding Self Imposed Adversities
From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.
David Matityahu Ben Avraham
author of There's No Such Thing as Magic Blood
Bridget, as well as the entire Outskirts Press team working with me, are exceptional. They held my hand through the entire process in addition to providing me with welcomed support and encouragement. I am looking forward to our next project together. I have recommended Outskirts Press to several freelance authors in my area. Thank you for making a potentially hectic journey so enjoyable and so satisfying.
Paneque y Diaz
author of More Than What They Seemed
I was very happy with my author rep's responses to me. She did a superb job of answering my questions and helping me through the editing process. She was always available when I needed her. I'm delighted with the outcome--my book looks good and it's selling! Thank you.
Kathleen O'Brien
author of Reclaim Your Right To Grow Old
A great experience with Outskirts Press. I learned a lot in this process. I will do it all over again. Thank you so much.
Esther A. Ota
author of Children: My Heritage - A Testimony
The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.
Nancy L. Regas
author of The Art of Being a School Counselor
Outskirts Press has perfected the art of self-publishing. Their process is simple and seamless with everything happening in a timely manner, giving authors complete control over how their book will appear inside and out. And the people there are fantastic. They’re friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, patient and quick to reply to emails. What more can an author ask?
Needless to say, I’ve found a home here at Outskirts Press.
Jim Black
author of Life with Bingo, Miracle on the Gridiron, Football Hero, and Ezra
Outskirts Press changed my life for the better. They turned my adoption memoir into a book that is not only beautiful to look at, it is pleasurable to read, easy to purchase online, and in less than a month already has had a profound impact on many people. A truly amazing company with a heart. Deepest gratitude!
Paul Kimball

The Outskirts Press team was helpful, attentive, prompt and detail oriented during the publishing process. It really felt like a team effort, and everyone worked hard to create an awesome final product that was my fully published book!
