Marketing

Because a great book still needs to find its readers.

We build launch strategy, content calendars, and positioning for authors who’d rather write the next book than run their own marketing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be active on social media for this to work?

No — we build plans around your comfort level, including options that don’t require appearing on camera.

Yes, marketing is available as a standalone service.

Instagram, email newsletters, and Amazon/retailer positioning are most common; the exact mix depends on your book and audience.

Ideally, before launch, but positioning and list-building can start earlier, even mid-manuscript.

Testimonials

I didn't think a ghostwriting team could nail banter — that felt like the one thing that had to come from me. I was wrong. My leads/characters sound exactly like I hear them in my head, chemistry was lit.

"Author, Contemporary Romance 2020"

My story just got better, and I know these guys will nail it.

"IRIS."

I came to IWF with two characters and a vague ache of a premise. What I got back was a fully realized love story with the exact slow-burn tension I couldn't articulate but always wanted.
