What Is AuthorBuzz?
“There's a simple advertising maxim that applies to publishing: 'Tell people over and over that a book exists — and many of them will buy it.' The trick is in knowing how to tell them, where to tell them, and for how long. That's where AuthorBuzz earns its keep. They know the answers to all of those questions. Listen to them. You won't be sorry.” —NYT bestseller Steve Berry

Since 2005 we have provided the foremost opportunity for authors to make personal connections and offer extra perks to the people who buy, sell, read and recommend their books.
As an author, AuthorBuzz is your marketing partner. We get your buzz out by partnering with successful online publications including Shelf-Awareness.com, DearReader.com, BookMovement.com, PublishersMarketplace.com, and Booktrib.com.
We work with fiction, non-fiction and, through our KidsBuzz service, young-adult as well as middle-grade and picture books. We also offer Ads Plus campaigns using Facebook, Goodreads, and other online services depending on your budget and needs.
