Changes

If you’re self publishing (and this includes any situation where an author makes a contribution towards the cost of publication), promoting can be hard, hard work. Your budget is often more of a shoestring, mainstream media doesn’t have room for you, and you struggle to get your book the exposure it needs to do well. Bookbag can help. We offer three promotional packages to self publishers, all of which can help make your book more visible. Our site attracts about 60,000 unique visitors every month. Page views number more than 500,000. Our newsletter goes to over 4,000 opt-in subscribers, a great many of whom are booksellers, librarians and teachers - just the people you need to find. We have a strong presence on Twitter with more than 1617,000 followers including lots of industry professionals.

Starting 2013, we also produce an annual list of the best ten self published /indie books we have reviewed over the course of the year. A feature article for each list is permanently displayed on the site, included in our January newsletter each year and promoted through Twitter. This extra promotion - and praise! - could help to give your book longevity. For us, it's a way to show our commitment to this growing market sector.
