Bookarma Announces New Partnership with BookBaby for Global Book Marketing

July 13, 2014 - PRLog -- The deal was finalized shortly after Bookarma’s participation at BEA (Book Expo America) in New York in May.

The sister company of indie music giant CDBaby, BookBaby makes self-publishing easy for tens of thousands of authors: From cover design, book printing, eBook conversions, distribution, website creation, and more. BookBaby offers its authors the largest eBook distribution network, including Amazon, Apple, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and many other popular retailers in over 170 countries around the globe.

It’s the perfect climate for a partnership with Bookarma, the revolutionary new platform where authors help authors market their books globally through shared social networks. Bookarma answers the question: What if authors could leverage fellow authors’ social networks to reach a much wider audience? Bookarma allows authors to tap into fellow authors’ social networks so they can help one another promote their books around the globe. Authors can view one another’s books on Bookarma and share them with their social circles.

Nancy L. Baumann, Bookarma’s COE (Chief of Everything) was delighted when BookBaby approached her to help their authors gain global exposure. “Both Bookarma and BookBaby have a global focus, a global vision. We understand that authors can write and produce an excellent product,” she said, “but if the book doesn’t reach its audience, the author’s work was in vain. Books need to be discovered, and we want to help authors gain exposure so they can impact their audience.”

“Bookarma is a company that represents the next evolution of self publishing,” said Steven Spatz, CMO of BookBaby. “It’s not enough for authors to get their books into the marketplace anymore. They need to find a way to stand out from the crowd, and we’re delighted to partner with Bookarma to help make that happen.”
