Have any questions regarding your book marketing efforts?
So, as an independent publisher, how do you plan to stand out amongst your competition? After dealing with rights and permissions, editors and publishers, how much time are you spending on marketing and identifying who your target audience will be, and what the best ways to reach them are. Once you identify your target market, how are you going to position yourself to reach those consumers that need your publication?
Your first step is creating a product that speaks to your target market. Focus on marketing to a niche, and growing from there. Build a website and fill it with compelling content and start a conversation with your potential readers. Open yourself up to your readership.

Scribblers’ Retreat is a non-profit organization established with the goal of reaching writers of all ages; to inspire and promote their hidden gifts and talents.
By involving the local community, authors, publishers, editors, journalists and all forms of the literary world, we are opening their minds and bringing hope where there was doubt.
Scribblers’ Retreat is not the typical classroom setting. It was designed to bring world-class authors, literature professors, editors, journalists, illustrators, photo journalists, proofreaders, publishers, publicists, screenplay writers, and website/graphic designers, etc. one-on-one with young and old alike. It is the opportunity of a lifetime for someone who has had a manuscript in a desk drawer for 40 years or who has an outstanding poem that simply must be read.
