There are various ways in which publishers can promote their books and authors with the help of newbooks magazine. We've listed the ‘tried and tested' methods below, but please feel free to contact us with your ideas and we'll see what we can do.
featured authors
Each magazine features extracts from five books as well as a feature interview or article. These books receive a high profile not only in the magazine, but also on the nb recommends page of this website. In addition, we regularly take full page ads in the book supplements of the Saturday broadsheets.
advertising in newbooks
What better way to promote a debut or put a sequel in the spotlight than to advertise in a magazine that has so many book-hungry readers? We can tailor coverage according to your budget - simply contact us on 01962 620320 to discuss what you would like to do.
events
To date we've hosted Meet the Author events in Winchester with Jodi Picoult, Joanna Trollope, Salley Vickers, Alexander McCall Smith, Alice Sebold, Antonia Quirke, Louis de Bernières and, most recently, Stefan Merrill Block. As a result we have established an enthusiastic and ever-growing audience in the Winchester area.
Market Research
We're happy to talk about any market research requirements you might have, whether it's to
- compile a reading group guide
- gauge the likely response of a reading group audience
- or just to gather advance reviews from real readers
We have done various projects of this kind already and our reviewers are up for the challenge.
Promotional Materials
We have had several inserts and supplements. Our first covermounted CD was enclosed with the Jan/Feb issue 2008 and received a very positive response. Whether you have a readers' guide, a newsletter, a sampler or a mini-catalogue we're likely to be interested.
Competitions
Our readers do enjoy a competition - especially if it tests their knowledge of contemporary fiction. And for publishers it's a fun way of profiling books on the backlist: what better way to make readers aware of contemporary classics they've not yet read? Our non-fiction competitions are becoming a fixture and are proving very popular.
Media Pack
We're in the process of compiling our brand new Media Pack for publishers. In the meantime, we do have ad specifications available, as well as an advertising rate card. For more information, please contact us.
The more readers we reach...
...the more readers you reach. Every newspaper ad we book, also promotes the publishers and their featured books. Our latest promotional leaflet highlights the magazine, but also the authors and titles we've featured.
