A Good Book Title:
Branding and Marketing Your Book


How do you brand and market your book? Start with a good book title.


A good book title is the cornerstone of your publishing empire. It serves as the foundation of your brand, book marketing plans and other products.

In nonfiction, best-selling brand names include “4-Hour,” “Rich Dad” and “Chicken Soup.” In fiction, famous brand names include “Harry Potter,” “Twilight” and “Shades.” These book brands have grown into international franchises.

Once you have a strong brand name, you can launch a series of books or products, which in turn support the book title.


These include

  • consulting
  • speaking
  • workshops
  • webinars 
  • online membership sites
  • DVD products
  • audio products
  • affiliate programs
  • movies or documentaries

In working with clients, we often assist in creating a brand name. A strong brand name embodies a book’s core ideas and themes and speaks to the author’s ideal audience.

Once a brand name is chosen, we will revise the book text to give it marketing sizzle. This means dressing up all aspects of the manuscript to appeal to your target audience, including the book title, subtitle, chapter headings and subheadings.

Typical marketing packages we offer include the following.
