Hi, if you're reading my profile, the best way to work with me is to offer $60 for a 1 hour consultation call. I will accept. A call will help clarify your publishing goals and give you actionable ways to market your books--the same day we talk. I'll also advise about promotional scams to avoid. I'm at tina koenig dot com. And I'm open and working weekends! Every client I've talked with comes away with actionable information that helps them move forward with their book publishing project or book promotion. Use the consultation time to "pick my brain" about book publishing or promotion strategies before or after publishing. And check out my book "How to Self-Publish Like A Pro" for sale on Amazon. Right now just .99 on Kindle. When you book a consultation with me, I will send you a free PDF of my book. Following a call, we can work together to publish or promote your book. My book clients have been interviewed/appeared here: WVLT Writer's Block, NBC NEWS, NY Post, Wall Street Journal, CBS, KING5 (Seattle), The Independent (UK), the Montel Williams' show Let's Be Blunt, The Atlantic, Refinery29 (Vice Media), Readers' Digest The Healthy, and others. I pitch to the highest-level contacts, including NPR. I also target specialized segments like business, health/wellness, romance, finance and niche markets like equestrian, and more. If you are an author or publisher, please contract here for the book publishing or promotion consultation phone call. Or make an offer of $60 USD for a 1 hour call. I will accept that offer right away. In return, you will receive time to discuss your writing goals and a marketing plan. You may hire me for additional projects after that based on agreed-upon rates. That way meet each other before working together. And you'll get a realistic idea of what the book publishing and sales landscape looks like. Before our call, please upload your book's PDF, plus a media kit (if you have one), and website links so I can familiarize myself with your work. A quick review is included in the $60 call rate so I can prep before we talk. I've worked with major NYC publishing houses (HarperCollins, Harper Business, Wiley, Llewellyn, Knopf, and small presses) on author promotion and appearances. I help global clients understand the U.S. Market. I've worked with clients in Africa, Australia, England, Finland, Germany, Italy, Malta, Mexico, Norway, South America, and Singapore. When you work with me, you'll get tremendous value because of my experience. If you have a full-time job, I work to promote your book or handle query letter submissions to help you obtain an agent. I'm also able to walk you through a strategic marketing plan that can vary depending on your budget. And you'll get other ideas to generate income. Here's a quick outline of my skill set: - help you find an agent - write query letters - author branding - press kit creation - book publicity - Amazon ad creation - review research - author & book market positioning - author book tours -- signings and booking (the U.S. mostly) - author and business websites - press releases - authors and brands - press release distribution (from top tier services like PR Newswire and Business Wire) - mailing list set-up and list uploading to MailChimp, Constant Contact, and others - formatting recommendations, vendors - work with designers on your book cover - Social media audits (I evaluate and polish your social media author profiles.) - Social media content and calendar planning - Basic business set-up to accept payments - anything else you can't or don't care to do because you work full-time and want a life Here's a bit more detail if you're not sold yet! I have a 360-degree grasp of integrative public relations and marketing for books and major brands. I book authors into libraries, bookstores, and alternative venues throughout the U.S. as well as promote to online, print, radio, and television. I love helping authors, businesses, and non-profits grow followings and sell books and products. I also enjoy creating templates and documents that set standards in business and developing communications plans for others to follow. A typical example would be a brand guidelines document or social media policy for an organization. Over the years, I’ve written hundreds of press releases, corporate communications documents, policy documents, letters, and memos that are clear, concise, and error-free. I've developed content and editorial calendars and managed social media platforms that included Facebook, X, and Instagram for both government and private institutions. Some of the consulting work that I do involves helping authors and businesses decide which website platform to choose. I've built and continue to run several websites, so my consulting is based on a hands-on application of platforms and experience. I'm also an expert-level writer & editor.
