Boost Your Author Book Signings

April 13, 2012 - PRLog -- Book Sale Pirate is a free author service and boon to book event planners wanting to fill up those empty seats at book signings. Thousands of authors haven benefited from listing their events on Book Sale Pirate. The only question is, “Why wouldn’t you do it?”

Book Sale Pirate’s book signing listing exist to help authors. The listing is free, all it takes is some effort. Scott Stepanski, author and founding pirate, created the service to help authors like himself promote their events. Authors dream of being escorted to book events on a twelve city, all expense paid promotion tour, but in reality that is unlikely for most authors. All to often in these days of shrinking publishing promotional budgets, it falls onto the authors themselves to set up and promote their own events. That is where Book Sale Pirate comes into the picture. Just click the free button on the website, fill in the information and send it off. Your event is usually listed within a few days. The sooner the event notice is in, the more book readers and prospective book buyers will be reached.

Book Sale Pirate makes it easy for publicists too. If there are many different author events or dates, fill out the form once for the basic information, then send a list by email of all the dates, times and locations. Many bookstores, book agents, book festivals and authors add the service to their regular press list to promote upwards of 30 book signing events each month. Why would you not take advantage of this?  Book Sale Pirate has helped more than a thousand authors in the last year this way and if you are not one of them, you are missing valuable exposure and sales.

If you want to have a successful book event, it is up to you to get the word out any way you can and under the nose of as many web searchers as possible. Web searches rely on search engines and part of the search criteria by how often a search engine “sees” something on the web. The ball is in the author’s court on how to raise that search profile and get noticed. Authors who spend months and years creating the written works  should not allow the effort emailing just a few more words to stand between them and their audience. The literary work is done, now it is time for the promotional work to begin and that is where the payoff is. Don’t let your literary work go to waste without an audience!
