KRISTEN CORRECTS, INC.

• Outskirts Press: At $1,299, Outskirts Press’ Book Launch Bundle isn’t bad. This option is one of the most inexpensive plans available for book marketing, and 5 hours of access to a personal marketing assistant will help teach you how to take the reins after Outskirts Press does all the setup work. 

• iUniverse: iUniverse offers a range of services from advertising to radio services to book signing events. In today’s day and age, I’d suggest starting with their Social Media Strategist Plan, which is pretty expensive at $6,999, but includes a robust service on social media marketing. 

• Dog Ear Publishing: Dog Ear’s à la carte services make best bang for your buck, at a total $1,294 for a website setup ($695) and a social media campaign ($599). Alternatively, you can shell out the big bucks for the more invasive (and definitely worthwhile) Facebook Advertising & Management option at $2,699 for 3 months.
