The Governess - Wendy Holden

Wendy Holden's gorgeous novel The Governess, about the Queen Elizabeth II's childhood nanny Margaret 'Crawfie' Crawford, necessitated a splashy and impactful campaign as it was a significant change in direction for Wendy's writing. We ensured we were reaching existing fans and wider historical fiction readers with a combination of print advertising, retailer co-promotion, influencer outreach (especially to Royal fansites)

The book was (and remains) one of Welbeck's bestselling titles and reinstated the author as a Top 10 Sunday Times Bestseller.

I’m really pleased with my final blurb and the other information he helped me with. Thank you!

He's not repeating the same trends you can find in every book on independent marketing. Rather, Rob brings a wealth of experience and skill that translates into results.
