Forever Books Marketing Services

Forever Books Marketing Services We offer a number of very specific marketing services to help you sell your books. Like all other publishing services, we do not take ownership of your book, but unlike most other services, we work with you as long as necessary. In our 30 plus years of experience, the only books that did not sell were those the author lost interest in. Pragmatically speaking, it will take as long as 12 – 24 months for you to sell the first lot of books. There is no quick and easy way to sell any kind of book – especially for the first-time author. “Bookstores do not sell books. Authors do.”

Personal Marketing Service Each of our authors receives personalized marketing advice – customized to your specific book and your unique abilities. We will work with you -- as long as you have books to sell – advising you on marketing techniques and sharing what other authors have found works for them.

Each book receives a Book Directory Listing As part of our service, and included in our pricing, we add your book to R.R. Bowker’s Booksin-Print. This means as soon as the books are printed and delivered, they are available on its database. Libraries and bookstores around the world use this publishing resource to find ALL the books that have been published.

Most of our books are eligible for our Distribution/Fulfillment Service Distribution has always been a challenge. The fact is that national distributors have limited space in their warehouses, and that space costs money. If the author can’t guarantee his books will sell in sufficient quantities, distributors are unwilling to take the risk. Without a national distributor supplier, bookstores are often unwilling to stock or even special order independently published books.

Using digital technology, your book will be stored digitally, available instantly whenever ordered.
