"Bookmachine developed a tailored workshop for our combined sales, marketing and publicity teams. They took the time to understand our business and what we wanted to achieve, and delivered a really engaging and energising interactive session, in which every member of the team was able to participate and contribute, giving us tools and techniques that we will be able to apply across our list."
Joanna RoseMarketing Director, HQ and Mills & Boon (HarperCollins)
“Working with Kaz is a joy. She is creative and full of ideas, but also rigorous about deadlines and budgets. She is also a great communicator, producing regular campaign updates which have proved really popular with our authors. I'd recommend her to anyone!”
Laura PalmerEditorial Director, Head of Zeus
“BookMachine managed to co-ordinate two different sets of priorities and a third party, without ever giving the impression that we were all being quite annoying! We'd certainly be very happy to work with them again.”
Cathryn GregorySenior Rights Manager, Macmillan Children’s Books
“Abigail is one of the best marketers I've ever worked with. She achieves great results, often on limited budgets. She was instrumental in a number of successful launches for us, and has a firm grasp of both strategy and the nitty-gritty of running great campaigns.”
Sam RichardsonCEO, SPCK

Our Services
Marketing Sprints
The sprint methodology was designed for efficient working. We have tweaked the original concept to make it an efficient way to develop a marketing strategy for new titles, series or creative initiatives. You can download a free template here.
Events & Launches
If you are looking for help from a team who are event pros, then we are the ones for you (we have organised 200+ over the past 10 years). From scoping out and recommending venues, photographers and film crews, to marketing and running the entire event - we have oodles of experience and like to guarantee success.
Digital sales strategy
If you are looking to increase your sales online, we can either deliver a customised Amazon Action Plan or offer regular hands-on support. Either option will increase revenues for both ebooks and print, and our clients will be happy to testify.
PR campaigns
Our book publicists are creative, experienced and connected. From debut fiction to non-fiction, we love to create hooks and good stories and can manage all of your outreach. 4-6 months before publication is best, so let's get the conversation started.
Facebook campaigns
Targeted Facebook advertising to drive online sales of one book or a series. Our team targets your readers by demographic and interest, to boost sales. We also run training sessions (in-house/online) to help boost in-house knowledge.
Marketing creative
Anyone who has worked in social media will know that the main challenge, in increasingly crowded online markets, is how to stand out visually. We have an in-house designer and plenty of animators and even a film crew to hand (we are based at a university specialising in design and media ).
Content creation
Our experienced copywriters are creative and meticulous. We have decades of experience writing articles, general web copy, copy for brochures, prospectuses, newsletters, leaflets and more. If you are rushed before a Book Fair or launch we have a speedy service too.
Strategic partnerships
The ability to build effective partnerships is one of the most important marketing techniques to master.
If you have a new project to
discuss we would love
to hear from you.
