Grow

Help your book find more readers.

For authors whose books are already published, Quill & Reed can build the website, content and marketing infrastructure needed to improve visibility and create a stronger long-term author platform.

Three ways to work together.

Separate from the publishing packages, and designed for books that are already live.

For published authors

Author Website

A professional author website built around your books, your name and the audience you want to grow.

For published authors

Author Growth

Your author website plus ongoing content, email and book-marketing support designed to keep the book visible after launch.

The difference is who does the work.

Author Website

We build and maintain the online home.

You run the marketing yourself, with a proper place to send readers.

Author Growth

We create much of the marketing infrastructure and content.

You schedule posts and send newsletters, with a plan and assets to work from.

Managed Author

We handle more of the ongoing implementation.

You approve, stay the voice of the book and keep writing.

What growth work actually covers.

  1. 01

    • Amazon metadata
    • Search visibility
    • Author website
    • SEO
    • Platform presence
  2. 02

    Conversion

    When they find it, does the book persuade them?

    • Title and subtitle
    • Blurb
    • Reviews
    • Pricing

    Audience

    Do you have a way to reach readers repeatedly?

    • Website
    • Mailing list
    • Social content

What we cannot guarantee

Nobody can honestly promise these, so we do not:

  • Sales
  • Rankings
  • Reviews
  • Amazon performance
  • Bookshop placement
  • Virality

What we can do: improve discoverability, strengthen positioning, build marketing infrastructure, help reach more appropriate readers, and test and improve what can be controlled.

What stays yours

  • Your website
  • Your domain
  • Your mailing list
  • Your publishing accounts
  • Your audience relationships
