THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE

Posting more isn’t the problem — posting without a plan is

You’ve been told authors need to be on social media. So you show up, post when you can, and hope something sticks. But random posts don’t build a readership, and the pressure to “always be creating” pulls you away from the writing you actually want to do.

  • No idea which platforms are worth your time
  • Posts that get a few likes and go nowhere
  • A feed that stalls the moment life gets busy
  • Followers who never turn into readers
  • Ads that spend money without selling books
  • Hours lost to content that never moves the needle

Social media isn’t about shouting into a crowd. It’s about showing up consistently in front of the readers most likely to love your book — and giving them an easy reason to buy it and follow your next release. Done right, it builds an audience you own and a steady stream of readers who trust you. Done randomly, it’s just noise that wears you out. That’s the gap we close.

END-TO-END SUPPORT

What our social media marketing for authors covers

Platform Strategy

Not every platform fits every author, and spreading yourself across all of them is a fast way to burn out with little to show. We identify where your specific readers already spend their time — whether that's Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, or a mix — and build a focused strategy around those platforms. You put your energy where it counts instead of chasing every trend.

Content Creation

This is where most author accounts fall apart, and it's the work we take off your plate. We create professional, on-brand content built for your genre and audience — graphics, captions, short-form video concepts, quote cards, book highlights, and behind-the-scenes posts that make readers feel connected to you. Every post has a purpose: build your name, grow your audience, or move readers toward your book.

Account Management

Consistency is what social media rewards, and it's the first thing to slip when you're busy writing or running a business. We manage your accounts day to day — scheduling posts, keeping your feed active, and making sure your presence never goes quiet. You stay visible without living inside the apps.

Audience Growth

We grow your following the right way — with real readers who care about your book, not bought numbers that inflate a count and buy nothing. Through targeted content, smart engagement, and consistent posting, we help you build an audience that actually reads, shares, and buys. A thousand engaged readers beats ten thousand empty followers every time.

Paid Social Ads

Organic growth takes time; paid ads speed it up. We build and manage social media ad campaigns — on Facebook, Instagram, and beyond — that target the exact readers likely to want your book. We set budgets that protect your money, test what works, and cut what doesn't, so your ad spend drives book sales and email sign-ups instead of vanishing into likes.

Analytics & Reporting

You shouldn't have to guess whether social media is working. We track what matters — follower growth, engagement, reach, and clicks to your book — then report it in plain language you can actually use. You'll always know what's working, what we're adjusting, and how your presence is growing. No vanity metrics, no black box.

✦ Questions

Frequently asked questions

For anything not answered below, our correspondence desk replies within one business day.

Do I keep ownership of my social media accounts?

Yes, completely. Your accounts, your content, and your following belong entirely to you. We manage them on your behalf, but everything stays in your name and under your control — no strings attached. If we ever part ways, you keep every follower and every post.

Which platforms should I be on?

We choose platforms based on where your readers already spend time and what supports your book goals. You do not need to be everywhere to build an effective audience.

I do not have time to post every day. Can you handle that for me?

Yes. We plan, create, schedule, and manage the day-to-day publishing so your presence stays consistent without taking over your writing time.

Will you actually create the content, or just tell me what to post?

We create the content: graphics, captions, and video concepts. You review the direction and content so it continues to sound and feel like you.

How is this different from just running ads?

Ads can support a campaign, but they do not replace a consistent, credible author presence. We combine strategy, content, organic growth, and paid promotion when it makes sense.

Can you help me grow my following from scratch?

Yes. We build a practical platform strategy and consistent content plan designed to attract genuine readers, not empty vanity numbers.
