Helping you self-publish

Work includes the following:

• A landing page to capture newsletter subscribers (a free eBook or excerpt required from the Author (which we recommend to be a different eBook, such as your debut.)

• We will place your free book/sample in a joint promotion with other authors using your landing page. (If it's a full book, it will need to be unenrolled from Kindle Unlimited during the month of the promotion and set at a retail price with Amazon.)

You will receive a tracking link to promote the offer and are required to share on social media several times as a joint effort with other authors. At the end of the promotion, we will send you the database of email subscribers. We recommend you send an email (through MailChimp or the like) within one week of the newsletter promotion’s end to introduce yourself to your new readers/subscribers. Once you have a database, you can participate newsletter swaps at your own accord with other authors with a similar genre, advising your subscriber numbers. You can do a book spotlight for them in return for one with your link in their newsletter. This is a great way to gain exposure and increase sales.

• An author interview posted on The Collaborative Press blog which will be shared on our social media platforms.

• Minimum of four(4) banners suitable for social media posts. The Author needs to provide quotes from the book and/or reviews.

• A book spotlight in a newsletter sent to a database of 1,400 Christian readers. We can report how many clicks you received on your Amazon link upon request. MailChimp reports this information to us.

• A book link on our website with your book blurb and cover photo for a minimum of one month.
