What does the JLB Creatives Publishing media department do
for authors?
I’m very glad you asked. Hi there my name is Elise, I am the
Media Director for JLBCP. It’s my job to make sure authors have a strong
platform and the tools to make their book a success.
My own author career began in 2006. I was a total novel
novice with a 54,264 word book fresh out of NaNoWriMo. With eyes as big as
saucers when I realized everything I had to deal with as a first time self
published author.
Since then I have had the ultimate pleasure in learning from
others whose media and marketing skills are Jedi level. I don’t claim to be a
marketing Jedi but I have gained some awesome experience and resources. I can’t
wait to share that knowledge with our JLBCP authors.
We, in the media department, know that it takes more than
just putting a book on the shelf to get sales. If your book isn’t successful
then neither are we, therefore JLBCP will be right along side the author using
social media and other marketing strategies to ensure just that.
What kind of strategies does JLBCP offer in their basic
publishing package? To begin with we will be blasting press releases down every
news and entertainment avenue we can find, both domestic and internationally.
Those releases will go to newspapers, magazines, internet news, social media
and entertainment venues. Anywhere we
can find a place to shout about your fantastic book, not only when it’s
released but also after, we’ll do it.
Our extra services go the extra mile when it comes to
platforms. For an extra charge we are available to build your author media
platform from the ground up, or tweak the platform you have to work for your
needs. We will organize blog tours, host author parties on social media, and in
the future give our authors the chance to appear at local area events and book
signings. Whether you are an experienced author or this is your first book, JLB
Creatives Publishing is your go to place for platform development, social media
marketing and more.
After listening to what authors found the most annoying
about publishing companies, we have put in place a new way of doing things. One
of our best qualities is that we communicate with our authors throughout the
publishing process. Each of our department heads will be in contact with you
when your manuscript reaches their hands. You will enjoy the benefit of having
access to each dedicated department head for correspondence.
Working with JLB Creatives Publishing is a dream come true.
I hate to use a cliché, or sound repetitive as I know other team members have
said it. . .but there really are no other words to describe the experience of
being involved with such a dedicated team of individuals. I feel we truly
are, Bringing Light to the Literary
World.
