Platinum Promotion

BREW Platinum Book Promotion

Press releases offer invaluable benefits for books and their authors by providing a platform to announce new releases, significant achievements, or noteworthy events related to their work. Through press releases, authors can generate media coverage, attract the attention of journalists, bloggers, and reviewers, and increase visibility within their target audience. Press releases serve as powerful promotional tools, helping authors to build credibility, establish their authority in the literary world, and engage with readers. By effectively communicating key messages and highlighting the unique aspects of their books, authors can leverage press releases to expand their reach, drive book sales, and enhance their overall success in the competitive publishing landscape.

The Platinum Promotion Package is for you if you’d like to request additional exposures, brand recall, increased web presence, and online visibility for you and your book. If you’re looking for a book promotion with outright sales results, improved bestseller rankings, or financial ROIs, this offer is not for you.

This package gives you the following among other benefits:

  • A dedicated “Featured Book” post shared on our website and across various channels, maximizing exposure to potential readers;
  • A complimentary author’s profile complete with an engaging interview and book profile post, providing insight into your work and fostering connections within the BREW community;
  • One press release (PR) submission and distribution to around 80 or more general news and other media sites; and,
  • At least 5 book downloads or sales guaranteed.

Note: You can only request for this package if your book already has an existing BREW book review with at least 4.0 out of 5 stars rating. Click here for more details about our free and paid BREW review options.

Terms and Conditions

Before you lodge your promotion request, below are the terms and conditions you must know.

General information about all our press release offer
What you need to begin

  • Your (author’s) details
  • Original, unique, never published “About the Author” write-up (100 to 300 words)
  • Your (author’s) answers to interview questions
  • Your book’s details (ISBN, word count, etc.)
  • Original, unique, never published blurb of your book (300 to 500 words)
  • A full pdf copy of your book, preferably without the cover and appropriately watermarked (e.g. COPY NOT FOR SALE, FOR BREW USE ONLY, REVIEW COPY, COPY FOR BREW AWARDS, or something similar) – You can also provide a Word copy and we will convert the document into a watermarked pdf for you. If you have free downloadable copies of the book on your site or another site like BookFunnel or Amazon for at least 5 days after your application, on your requested promotion date, AND at least 2 days before and after your requested promotion date (a total of 10 free download days), we can accept that too. You retain the copyright to your work, although we may use portions for purposes related to your book’s promotion or award nomination.
  • Your book cover’s file
  • Your (author’s) profile photo’s file
  • At least 2 existing reviews publicly available on a reputable website, which you have permission to use and authorize us to include in your press release
  • Your official statement to be quoted on the press release
If you don’t have what we require

To avoid incurring fees or surcharges, we require you to prepare and submit all requirements along with your application form.

If you are unable to provide one or more of the specific requirements, we will send you an invoice for the additional service(s) we need to complete before we can process your request.

Here are some of the extra fees:

  • Author’s bio rewriting: For 10 AUD, we can rewrite your existing bio upon your request. For us to do this, you will need to provide the link to your LinkedIn profile or published bio on your own site or another reputable site. This service does not include fact-checking, as we will only rewrite what you already have. We do not offer an author’s bio writing service.
  • Blurb writing: For 30 AUD, we can write a 300-word blurb for you if you will provide the watermarked full pdf book copy.
  • Blurb rewriting: For 10 AUD, we can write your own existing blurb if you will provide the watermarked full pdf book copy and the link to your own existing blurb that you’d like us to rewrite. This service does not include fact-checking, as we will only rewrite what you already have.
  • Book purchase: If you don’t have a full watermarked pdf copy of your book, we can buy copies of your book instead. Fees for the service will vary according to your book’s price, any delivery fees if available on paperback/hardcover version only, plus 20% to pay several platforms for us to receive, process, and disburse the amount you’d send us.

If you cannot pay all the amounts you need to pay for us to process all the tasks for your application:

  • We will process only the tasks that had been paid for, if possible.
    • Example: If you were unable to provide a unique author’s bio or answers to interview questions but provided us with what we need for the book’s promotion, we will process your book’s promotion on your preferred date (if available) but will not post a separate Author’s Profile write-up.
    • Another example: If you were able to provide a unique author’s bio, answers to interview questions, book blurb, and a suitable book copy, but did not pay us for the promotion, we will post the Author’s Profile and Book’s Profile. However, we will not process your book’s promotion on the date you requested.
  • If it’s not possible for us to complete any task for your application because of your incomplete submission or payment, we will either:
    • send back 80% of what you paid us if we have not done anything yet (the 20% will be used to cover several platform fees for receiving, processing, and sending back what you paid us) or
    • deduct a minimum of 20% but not greater than 50% from your refund to cover the amount of work we have already done.

However, we will do the legwork and heavy lifting while helping you avoid the guesswork, leverage the competitive pricing, and ensure the guaranteed acceptance and publication of your PR through our experience and network.)
