Book Marketing, A Book Marketing Site, Offers Authors An Opportunity To Create Real Success

Bookmarketing.ning serves as a community of authors and allows authors to upload author photos, bios, book covers, video and book trailers. It also offers discussion forums, segmented groups and events listings. Facebook and Twitter integration are available

Don McCauley of the Free Publicity Focus Group announced today the formation of Book Marketing, a site designed to allow authors of all genres the opportunity to create greater awareness of their work.

The new site, Book Marketing, allows authors and publishers the opportunity to upload photos, bios, book covers, video and book trailers. The site also offers discussion forums, segmented special interest groups and allows for event listings. Each author can develop a personalized page. In addition the site allows for integration with Facebook and Twitter. The site was opened by Don McCauley of FPFG and Danielle Hampson, CEO of eBroadcastMedia.com.

"We believe this site offers a real opportunity for authors and publishers," stated Mr. McCauley, "as the site offers so many options, opportunities and possibilities. It can be treated as a place to create awareness of one's work while, at the same time, the site allows the author to network with like-minded individuals. The segmented groups allow for the exchange of book marketing ideas, while the discussion forums can serve as an educational resource for those who may have a need to increase their own knowledge in regards to creating marketing and publicity plans that produce real results. All of this can be integrated with social networking technologies. The site can serve as a centralized hub for book marketing activity, education and networking."

Group discussions include website design and search engine optimization, marketing and publicity, audio and video, writing fiction and writing non-fiction. There are segmented group discussion for children's authors and Christian authors. Forum discussions include book marketing strategies and website optimization strategies. Groups and discussions can be created by participants, subject to moderator approval.

"Our goal with this site," continued Mr. McCauley, "is to create a one stop resource that covers all the bases in regards to creating success for authors in an Internet marketing environment. As the site grows and evolves, the value of this resource will only increase."
