AUTHOR CASE STUDY #3:
"My budget was low, but I listened to Outskirts Press advice in terms of what you do once its published. And lets face it, the point of publishing it is to get it out there. So I invested in the marketing option.
My Book Marketing Specialist phoned me in no time, and considering she is in the US and I am in Australia, I was very impressed. She was supportive and animated and gave me motivation and reassurance that there was someone out there who cared about making my book visible to the world.
She wrote a great submission letter and sent it to some radio stations and it worked! I am doing my first radio interview in October. She also sent me lists of other radio stations I can tackle and any other info that would be helpful.
In addition to this she set up a blog, as I wouldn’t have had a clue. She created a great article and circulated it, keeping my name and the book in the media. She really has guided me on my journey as a new author.
Thank you to Outskirts Press for giving me this valuable option. Without it, it’s a no brainer; you really are on your own!"
- Courtney J. Webb, author of Immaculate Deception
