The Challenge

Writing the Book Is Only Half the Journey

Millions of books are published every year. Quality alone does not guarantee that readers will find yours. A clear marketing plan closes that gap.

Where Many Authors Get Stuck

  • Not knowing who the ideal reader actually is
  • A book description that doesn't make readers want to click "buy"
  • Posting on social media with no direction or consistency
  • An Amazon listing with weak keywords and poor categories
  • Spending on ads without a clear plan or tracking
  • No email list, so every launch starts from zero
  • Feeling overwhelmed by too many marketing opinions

What Changes With a Proper Plan

  • You know exactly who your readers are and where they spend time
  • Your book description, bio and listing speak directly to them
  • Your content follows a written schedule you can follow with confidence
  • Your Amazon page is optimized to be found and to convert
  • Ad budgets are used deliberately and reviewed in writing
  • You build an email list that belongs to you
  • You have one clear document that tells you what to do next
My Approach

Four Pillars Behind Every Plan

No guesswork and no generic templates. Every book gets a strategy built from these four foundations.

01

Research

I study your genre, comparable titles, reader behavior and the keywords readers actually search, so decisions are based on evidence.

02

Positioning

I define what makes your book distinct and shape the message, tone and presentation that make it stand out in a crowded category.

03

Promotion

I plan and carry out promotion across the channels that suit your book: social media, email, Amazon, ads and press.

04

Reporting

I send clear written reports on what was done, what the numbers show and what should happen next.

Why It Works

A Calm, Clear and Honest Way to Market Your Book

Strategy-Led

Every action has a reason. Nothing is done just to look busy.

Transparent

You see what is planned, what is done and what it costs, all in writing.

Author-Centered

Your voice, your vision and your goals stay at the center of the work.

Documented

Every plan, report and decision is saved in your Gmail, so nothing gets lost.

About

Meet Wisdom

Portrait of Wisdom, book marketing specialist

Wisdom, Founder & Book Marketing Specialist

A marketer who believes every book deserves a fair chance to be found.

I am a professional marketer, and I created Wisdom Author Services to bring structured, thoughtful marketing to authors who have put their heart into a book and now want it to reach the right readers.

Too many authors are told to "just post more" or "run some ads" without being shown how. I take a different path. I research your audience, shape your message, build a plan on paper and then help you carry it out step by step.

I work entirely in writing through Gmail. That keeps every plan, every decision and every report in one place that you can return to at any time. It also gives you space to think, review and respond when it suits you.

My goal is simple: to make book marketing clear, ethical and manageable, so you can spend your energy on what you do best, which is writing.

— Wisdom

Honesty First

No fake reviews, no inflated promises and no tricks that put your reputation at risk.

Clarity Always

Plans are written in plain language, so you always understand what is happening and why.

Respect for Your Voice

Marketing should sound like you. I adapt to your style rather than replacing it.

Long-Term Thinking

The goal is not one good week. It is building visibility and a readership that lasts.

Who I Work With

  • First-time authors preparing a debut launch
  • Self-published and independent authors
  • Authors with traditional or hybrid publishers who want extra support
  • Authors of fiction and non-fiction, in any genre
  • Authors with backlist titles that need new momentum

How I Work

  • All communication happens by email, in writing
  • Every plan and report is delivered as a written document
  • You review and approve before anything goes live
  • Your messages and documents are kept safely in Gmail
  • You can respond at your own pace, with time to think

Process

Six Clear Steps, All in Writing

From your first message to your final report, everything is documented in your Gmail inbox.

1

Inquiry

You send a message through the contact form below, telling me about your book and what you need.

2

Written Intake

I reply by email with a set of written questions about your book, audience, goals and any existing marketing.

3

Written Proposal

Based on your answers, I send a proposal with scope, deliverables and a clear quote for your review.

Onboarding

Once you approve, I send a written onboarding guide explaining what I need from you and how work will proceed.

Strategy & Execution

I create the plans and materials, send them for your review and make revisions before anything goes live.

6

Reporting & Next Steps

You receive a written report on what was done, what the results show and what I recommend next.

My Written Communication Promise

I use Gmail only, and everything is in writing. That means you will never be pressured into a quick decision, nothing will be forgotten, and every plan, approval and report will be saved in your inbox for you to look back on whenever you need it.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do we communicate?

All communication happens by email through Gmail. Plans, questions, approvals and reports are all written, so everything is saved in one place.

Do you hold meetings or calls?

No. My work is entirely written. This gives you time to read, think and reply at your own pace, and it keeps a permanent record of every decision.

What exactly will I receive?

Depending on the service, you will receive written plans, copy, calendars, templates, media materials and reports, all delivered as documents by email.

How long does a project take?

It depends on the scope. Your written proposal will state the expected delivery time for each part of the work before you approve anything.

Will you help me find my audience?

Yes. Audience research is the starting point of every service. I study your genre, comparable books and reader behavior to define who your book is for.

Do you guarantee sales or bestseller status?

No. No ethical marketer can promise specific sales results. I guarantee honest work, clear plans and transparent reporting.

Which genres do you work with?

I work with both fiction and non-fiction across many genres. Each plan is adapted to the expectations of that genre's readers.

Do you work with self-published and traditionally published authors?

Yes. I support independent, hybrid and traditionally published authors who want additional marketing support.

How soon will I see results?

Marketing builds over time. Some actions, like listing improvements, can have an early effect, while email lists, reviews and reputation grow steadily. Your reports will show progress honestly.

Do I need a big budget?

No. Services can be chosen individually, and the proposal will be matched to your needs. You can begin with a single service and add others later.

What do you need from me to get started?

Your book details, genre, goals and any existing materials such as a description, bio or links. I will list exactly what I need in the written intake.

Will the marketing sound like me?

Yes. I learn your voice from your writing and your answers, and everything is sent for your review before it is used.

How is pricing decided?

Each project receives a custom written quote based on the services you need and the scope of work. You will always see the full details before agreeing.

Can I request revisions?

Yes. The way revisions are handled will be explained clearly in your written proposal so expectations are shared from the start.

What is your refund policy?

Terms are written into each proposal so you know exactly what applies before you approve the work.

Who pays for advertising?

Ad spend is paid directly by you to the advertising platform, such as Amazon or Meta. It is separate from my service fee, and you keep full control of your ad account budget.

Do you buy or write fake reviews?

Never. I only recommend honest, platform-approved ways to gather reviews. Fake reviews put your book and reputation at risk.
