Social Media for
Publishers & AuthorsPractical help to drive readers to your books, help you sell internationally and build communities of support for your work
Why I can provide this serviceMy 1st novel was published by Harper Collins UK in 5 territories in early 2012
Rights sold quickly to 9 foreign language publishers
The Istanbul Puzzle earned its 3 book advance out before the first book came out
The overall deal was acknowledged by HC as partly a result of my social media presence
I am giving a 1 day course at the Irish Writer’s Centre, Dublin, on July 14 th called: Getting Your Writing Noticed Using Social Media
I provide author training, author social media identity management, follower growth strategy and implementation, Twitter feed management, blog management
My social media guide will be finished in the Autumn of 2012
I will promote all clients to my 40,000 reader/industry followers in the UK, the US, Ireland and around the world. That number is growing by about 250 a day
But you can do all this yourselfAnd each author/book will require a different level of support and a different social media plan
And some will be Facebooking, blogging & Tweeting already
And others will disdain it all
And do you have the time to help each author/book appropriately?
You know social media works.
This service will allow you to promote cost effectively and prove the impact on the bottom line
This service will be restricted to a few clients on a first-come-first-served basis

Results:The Istanbul Puzzle reached #8 on the UK Kindle chart 5 weeks after publication (22/2/2012) selling tens of thousands of copies:
Newton Compton are launching the Italian edition of The Istanbul Puzzle June 21st and have produced a book trailer:
Twitter follower growth is steady and now growing on 5 separate accounts and driving about 200+ unique visitors a day to my blogs:
Here’s the best part:I understand you may be reluctant to commit (aren’t we all)
I suggest a small start with a single author and a half day training course provided free of charge to that author (one to one, in person or with 3 x 1 hr Skype calls)
A social media plan will be delivered for that author after the session free of charge
The author’s books and social media sites will be promoted via my blog and Twitter feed free of charge
No financial commitment required in the test phase. This is a low cost outsourcing service after that
This service can be used for book launch support, ebook support or back catalogue support
