Author Growth · for published authors
Give your book somewhere to grow.
Your author website plus ongoing content, email and book-marketing support designed to keep the book visible after launch.
After publication
Launch week ends. The book is still there.
Many books are published with a burst of activity and then nothing consistent afterwards. That is common, not a failing. Author Growth is a steady system around the book: somewhere to send readers, something useful to say each month and a plan for what to try next.
It is not an outsourced sales department, and it will not make a book sell by volume of posts alone.

Metadata and positioning
Checking what readers actually see.
Each quarter we review your book’s metadata, categories, description and positioning, and look at the Amazon book page as a reader would. Where the problem looks like the cover rather than the marketing, we will say so; cover redesign is quoted separately.

What Managed Author adds
When you want more of it done for you.
Author Growth: we create much of the marketing infrastructure and content. Managed Author (£299/month × 12, £3,588 total): more of the ongoing implementation is handled for you — social scheduling and publishing, newsletter distribution, website management, review monitoring, monthly campaign planning and basic Amazon Ads management. Ad spend remains separate.
Author Growth questions
How much is Author Growth?
£199 a month on a 12-month agreement: £2,388 in total. VAT treatment and billing structure are being confirmed before checkout.
Do you post on my social media for me?
Not under Author Growth. You get a monthly content pack, planning and assets; you schedule and publish. Managed Author is the option where we handle scheduling and publishing.
Do you send my newsletter?
We write monthly newsletter content. You send it from your own email account. Newsletter distribution is part of Managed Author.
Is advertising included?
No. Author Growth does not include paid advertising or ad management. Managed Author includes basic Amazon Ads management; ad spend is always separate.
Will this get my book selling?
We cannot promise that. We build a consistent system around the book and test what can be controlled. Some books need repositioning, some serve a small market, and some need more time.
Do I need to republish the book?
No. Author Growth works with the book as it is, under your own publishing accounts.
What happens after 12 months?
Before the term ends we will explain the ongoing options. Your website, domain, mailing list and content remain yours.
