The other day, I Googled the term “book marketing services Canada” and came across some common advice on the Writing Tips Oasis website: “If you’re an author in Canada looking to partner with someone who can offer advice on publicizing your novel, or nonfiction book, devise a strategy for book publicity and perhaps even marketing, and then help you to implement a plan of action, you’ll most likely need a book publicist.” A list of five recommended Canadian publicists follows.

Book publicists can definitely help boost your book’s visibility in the mainstream media more quickly than you can yourself. But their services are usually quite expensive. Here are two much more affordable “book marketing services Canada” options that are also effective. I’m writing this blog post for those of you who will do the same Google search as I did.

Books from around the world can be downloaded to our laptops with the click of a button. It’s that easy now. The book publishing landscape has clearly changed, and it’s increasingly competitive as a direct result. So, the traditional way of marketing books is less and less effective. In today’s world, online marketing is the single most effective way to promote books.
