'''Promotion PackagesIt's many years since Bookbag increased the prices we charge self-publishing authors and - despite our expenses increasing - we plan to hold them at their present level for as long as possible.'''
'''Promotion Package''' If you’re self publishing (and this includes any situation where an author makes a contribution towards the cost of publication), promoting can be hard, hard work. Your budget is often more of a shoestring, mainstream media doesn’t have room for you, and you struggle to get your book the exposure it needs to do well. Bookbag can help. We offer a review packags package to self publishers, which can help make your book more visible. Our site attracts about 80,000 unique visitors every month. Page views number more than 500,000. We have a strong presence on Twitter with more than 26,500 followers including lots of industry professionals.
Starting [[Top Ten Self-Published Books 2013|2013]], we also produce an annual list of the best ten self published/indie books we have reviewed over the course of the year. A feature article for each list is permanently displayed on the site and promoted through Twitter. This extra promotion - and praise! - could help to give your book longevity. For us, it's a way to show our commitment to this growing market sector.
'''Our review package:'''
For books with under 10,000 words: £50£60<br> 10,000 to 49,999 words: £70£80<br>50,000 to 99,999 words: £90£100<br> 100,000 and over: £110£120 plus £10 for each additional 10,000 words over 120,000
Our package for self-publishers includes:
'''Reader's Report'''
If you would like us to look at you your book ''before'' publication we can offer a reader's report. This provides a detailed critique of your book, covering structure, style and marketability. Fiction reports will also discuss plot, characters and dialogue. Non-fiction reports will especially look at presentation and accessibility of data. We will concentrate on areas we feel need improvement and give encouragement throughout. Please [mailto:sue@thebookbag.co.uk email us] for prices and include some information about your book, including the genre and number of words in your manuscript.
If you've any further questions please don't hesitate to ask and regardless of what you decide to do we wish you every success with your book.
If your book is being published traditionally, you'll find the information you require [[Authors and Publishers|here]].
You will find a note about why we charge for reviews of self-published books [[Reviews, Time and Filthy Lucre|here]].
We can help you to consider whether it's better to get your book traditionally published or to [[3 Major Benefits of Self-Publishing Over Traditional Publishing|self-publish]].
