Media Outreach Publicity with Map

Let an expert handle the ins and outs of your book publicity campaign. With the Media Outreach Publicity Campaign, you are assigned a literary publicist who will read and assess the publicity needs for your book before working with you to launch a full-fledged, multi-week long campaign as outlined in your personalized Marketing Map.

With a literary publicist dedicated to helping you achieve your publicity goals, you’ll work side-by-side with an expert to gain media attention for your book. Getting your book noticed is an essential part of a successful book marketing plan, and the Media Outreach Publicity Campaign will help you promote your book and get the word out.

Here’s a breakdown of what the Media Outreach Publicity Campaign has to offer:

During the first two weeks of your campaign, your publicist will read your book and compose a personalized Marketing Map dedicated to your specific needs.
Marketing Map:

Publicity Path Recommendation: The Marketing Map will highlight the publicity path your expert publicist feels is right for you. There are three possible paths, which are outlined below.
Campaign Strategy: Your publicist will highlight the tactics and strategies they will employ during your campaign, including: the media they will reach out to, the audience they will target, the toolkit they’ll use to achieve campaign goals, and other ongoing activities they will engage in.
Author Outreach Suggestions: Although your publicist will be spearheading your campaign and working on your behalf, they’ll also highlight the tactics you can personally employ to gain attention for your book. These suggestions will be based on what you’re already doing versus what areas the expert sees are available for growth and development.
Additional Recommendations: The publicist will also work with your WestBow Press marketing team to lay out further suggestions for other services that may be beneficial to you and your book marketing efforts.
