Questions authors ask us

How do I market my book in Nigeria?

Start with clear positioning: a strong description, a good author bio and the right keywords. Then reach readers through the media, influencers and reviewers they already trust. We handle each of these for you.

Do you guarantee reviews or sales?

No one honestly can. What we guarantee is professional materials and targeted outreach to the right people, and we report on every response.

Can you market a book you did not edit or design?

Yes. We work with books at any stage, however they were produced.

When should I start marketing my book?

Ideally a few months before launch, but it is never too late. We also work with books that are already out.

Do you work with book influencers?

Yes. Our Visibility package builds a list of bookstagrammers, BookTokers, reviewers and book clubs suited to your genre and handles the outreach.

Do you plan book launches?

Not yet. Launch planning is something we are working towards, and we will add it when we can deliver it to our standard.
