Book Marketing Workshop

The Publishers Association and the Northern Fiction Alliance will be jointly hosting a workshop at Manchester Metropolitan University for publishers who want to take their marketing campaigns to the next level.

The workshop will explore how small literary publishers, with limited time, resources and spend, can use marketing to make a difference. Alongside some industry examples, we’ll look at trade marketing, social media and content marketing (audio, written, graphic), digital marketing, as well as email marketing; channels that can make a real difference in connecting publishers, authors and books with the trade and consumers.
