Thank you for your interest in Austenprose PR, an online marketing service specializing in historical and contemporary fiction, romance, and mystery books. We curate influencer campaigns such as pre-publication publicity and online virtual book tours to match readers / reviewers with your new titles to generate exposure, reviews, and author authority in your book’s genre.

Prepublication Campaigns

Reaching your readers is critical to the success of your book. Publishers and authors are now beginning their campaigns earlier than ever. We can help you connect the influencers who can stir up early interest in your book to build confidence and prompt pre-sales.

Book Tour Campaigns

A virtual book tour is a publicity campaign involving online influencers. Our goal is to introduce your book to readers by showcasing it on social media platforms. The tour has a set timeline, usually two to four weeks, and is scheduled closely around the book’s launch date. Each day on the tour includes either a feature, excerpt, interview, or a review of your book hosted by an influencer. Virtual book tours are a great way to increase exposure, generate reviews, grow your readership, and build your author brand.

Author Coaching

We can advise you on all aspects of your online presence and author branding including website and blog design, content, social media, and marketing campaigns.
