We provide a wide variety of book marketing services for independent publishers including exposure at book trade shows, mailing lists, internet opportunities, press releases, and more.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
In my early days, I worked for two major New York Publishers, and have always been interested in the marketing of books and information products.

We provide a personal approach for publishers, representing only a limited amount of books at trade shows so that potential buyers can see them and we pass out sales literature as well as bring leads to the publishers for follow-up.

Our work is primarily done by mail and the internet. Publishers may visit any of the shows that their books are scheduled in, and I am available for personal consultations.
