Audiobooks
and eBooks are the new rage with the readers. With sites like
Unnomedia
providing services
like unlimited access to a whole world of books, that are compatible
on a range of devices, it has managed to capture the attention of
many non-readers as well.
Given
the many benefits that digital publishing and consuming of books have
provided, like the wide reach and self-publication, many authors have
entered the fray. This means, that every eBook author has to market
themselves in a way that positions them favorably in the market.
There
are many promotional strategies that authors have at their disposal
to spread the word about their eBook. One of the commonly used
methods is writing a pitch. A pitch is an email that either the
author or their publicist sends out to the contacts in their media
list asking for reviews, coverage, and publicity. The email which you
send as your pitch in most cases is the first impression you create
of your eBook. So, ensure that the pitch conveys a well-written and
professional tone.
Some
of the characteristics your pitch should adhere to are:
- Be honest and confident about your book without exaggerations and superfluous claims.
- Explain how your book fills a niche that is unique and necessary.
- Start your pitch with a hook and talk about the central conflict in your book, without giving too much away.
- Have your pitch proofread for any spelling, grammatical, or factual errors.
The
services provided by Unnomedia sees their
subscription list growing, which gives authors a wide reach and helps
boost their sales.
