Are My Books Promoted by Bookvault?

Find out whether Bookvault promotes individual titles and what authors and publishers are responsible for when marketing their books.

Bookvault handles the printing, distribution and fulfilment of your book, but we do not provide marketing or promotional services for individual titles.

Once your book has been set up for distribution, it can be made available through Bookvault’s supported sales channels. However, generating awareness and driving readers to your book remains the responsibility of the author or publisher.

Does Bookvault market my book for me?

No.

Bookvault does not actively market or promote individual books to readers.

Our role is to provide the infrastructure needed to print, distribute and fulfil your titles rather than run marketing campaigns on behalf of authors or publishers.

What is the author or publisher responsible for?

Authors and publishers are responsible for promoting their own books and generating demand.

This could include:

  • Building an audience through social media
  • Creating an author website or mailing list
  • Running advertising campaigns
  • Contacting reviewers or influencers
  • Working with bookshops or events
  • Using a book marketing or publicity service

The aim is to direct potential readers towards the retailers or sales channels where your book is available.

Does Bookvault make my book available to retailers?

If your title has been set up for distribution, Bookvault can make it available through the supported distribution network.

Making a book available, however, is different from actively promoting it.

Retailers may list your book, but Bookvault cannot guarantee that a retailer will feature, advertise or otherwise promote the title.

Can I use a marketing agency to promote my book?

Yes.

Authors and publishers can work with external marketing agencies, publicists or book-promotion specialists if they want professional help promoting their titles.

The current Bookvault article mentions Reedsy as one example of a platform where authors can find book marketers and publicists.

Will better promotion affect my Bookvault distribution?

Promotion does not change how your title is distributed through Bookvault, but it can help increase awareness and direct more potential customers towards your book.

Distribution makes the book available to buy. Marketing is what helps people discover it.
