Book marketing for authors

Your book deserves to be found.

I help authors put their books in front of the readers who are already looking for them, with author websites, trailers, Goodreads visibility and media outreach that people actually notice.

Featured project

Memories And Observations

A true story from Northern Ireland by Hugh Murphy. A joint project with Emmanuel Sunday of HQ360, taking a powerful memoir from almost invisible to the first page of the lists readers browse.

02Book trailers and teasers

Cinematic trailers, suspense teasers and vertical videos for Reels, TikTok and Shorts. Even before a manuscript is finished, a concept teaser can start building an audience.

03Goodreads visibility

Your book placed on the Listopia lists that match it and moved towards the first page, where readers browse, with screenshots and a monthly report so you can see every position.

04Media outreach

Personal pitches to the radio shows, podcasts and producers your readers listen to, with every follow up handled and a short preparation note before each interview.

05Press kits and social graphics

A professional press kit that journalists and festivals ask for first, and a set of graphics built from your own words, ready to post.

About

Every book is someone's life's work.

I am Agnes Will, and I work with authors whose books deserve more readers than they are getting. To me it is never one more project. It is years of someone's life, and it deserves to be treated that way.

I start by understanding the book and the people it was written for, then build the things that help those readers find it: a home online, films that make people stop and look, and a place on the lists and shows where readers make their choices. You always see the work, and you always know where things stand.
