Marketing Tools
Having your manuscript be accepted by a publisher is a wonderful literary achievement, yet being a successful published author takes passion, persistence and a willingness to do the work necessary to generate significant book sales.
Pacific Raven Press publishes about 4 manuscripts per year. In doing so, we give highly personalized service to our authors, spending a great deal of time with each, not only in the start-up phase of a book, but throughout its lifecycle. Each author and manuscript represents a significant investment of resources from the acquisition stage, to design, book production, marketing, distribution, and ongoing support. Because we give so much to each author, we only sign authors who have written high quality stories that have a strong reader appeal and who are highly motivated to market, promote and sell their books.
At Pacific Raven Press, we offer support throughout the entire sales cycle by providing marketing plans that explain the multiple channels available to reach readers, creating an online presence on our web site, offering cross promotion opportunities with other Pacific Raven Press authors, promoting your book to the publishing trade, and advising you on the best tactics to reach your reader base using both traditional and online approaches.
We are trying to gauge how much you see your work as not only a literary achievement, but also as a business proposition. There are over 1,200 new titles published each month in the United States, so the competition requires active and effective marketing efforts from the author to be successful.
Thank you for taking the time to provide us this important feedback.
