Work with the advertisers behind bestselling books
Advertising is the surest way to put your book in front of new readers. A professional book advertiser helps you run Amazon, Facebook, and BookBub campaigns that actually convert your marketing budget to book sales. Debut or backlist, they know which platforms, audiences, and budgets will move the needle for your book.
On Reedsy, meet book advertising experts who’ve been involved in campaigns for authors like James Patterson and R.F. Kuang. They know the ins and outs of Amazon, Meta, and other online advertising platforms, and help new and established authors hit #1 on Amazon.

Sell more books without guessing
We all know what advertising is: paying a fee to have your product placed in front of potential customers. As an author, however, it’s easy to make the wrong decisions and be lured into bad “advertising opportunities.”
Book marketers help you make the right decisions. They are versed in all aspects of advertising, including:
- Ad creation. Your book cover is your #1 advertising asset, but advertising experts can iterate on different copy and imagery.
- Finding the right target audiences. Who is your target audience? What platforms do they frequent? How can you make sure that the right readers are seeing your book? Marketers understand how to build and target the ideal audiences for your book.
- Measuring profitability. Ads cost money. Professional marketers will test several ads and then focus their efforts on those that bring a positive return on investment (ROI).
In my first year after launching my book, I sold 420 books. With Rachel’s marketing plan, I sold 4,700 the next year — and I’ve even released an audiobook. I think the results speak for themselves. It’s amazing to see my book find its way into the hands of readers — and not just any readers. I can see in my reviews that I reached people who found some applicable advice for their medical careers. You can imagine how flattered I was to receive a glowing review from the former president of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons: “I loved the book and laughed out loud at several points. All residents would think this is worthwhile." That was huge for me!

How to choose an advertiser for your book
Here are a few things to keep in mind as you compare candidates:
- Match the advertiser to your genre and platforms. Use the marketplace filters to narrow by genre, then look for advertisers with experience on the platforms you care about. Reader behavior varies wildly across categories, and the best results will come from someone who already knows your audience in and out.
- Check out their previous clients. Have they run successful campaigns for books that are similar to yours? If applicable, have they worked with first-time authors before?
- Get a feel for a working relationship with them. Ask if you can set up a call before signing anything. Are they confident that they can help you with your book? Can they explain their testing approach in a way you can understand? Are you in agreement on a monthly budget and who controls the accounts? You want to make sure you’ll be on the same page from day one.
Campaigns evolve as the data comes in, and that’s normal. Budgets will shift, audiences will get refined, or engagements will run differently than expected. You can adjust your collaboration at any point, but what matters is that both of you stay transparent about the numbers: where your money is going, and what it’s bringing back.
