You never know who is reading your book!
About: Bedside Reading places books by the bedsides in luxury hotels and in the media. We promote authors as a brand to influencers, VIPs and potential new fans. Word-of-mouth marketing is key to helping a book become a bestseller. We have created a layered systematic approach to helping our authors' books get noticed. We touch a book 20 times during the course of one month. Including, placement in hotels, social media by the hotel, our own social media, newsletters, placement in magazines (print and online) and through podcasts.Authors are encouraged to apply to our program. We encourage traditionally published authors as well as indie authors to apply. Once accepted each book is then vetted by our team and our hotel partners before placement.

I just had a woman tell me yesterday at a two-day event in Scottsdale that she picked up my book in a hotel in Colorado. She had no idea who I was picked up my book and fell in love with me then decided to join my coaching academy and now was in Scottsdale for my two-day event. Sooo cool! -Christy Whitman, November 2019 |

This program is all that and more! Jane Ubell-Meyer is singlehandedly redesigning the landscape for authors and travelers. Check out Bedside Reading." -Mel Greenberg, September 2019🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 |

You are SUCH a GEM!! Jane is a visionary. From the moment I chatted with her on the phone to the several events we have under our belt together now she never ceases to surprise me with her marketing prowess, fierce love of her authors and her absolute get it done nature. I took a leap of faith with Bedside Reading and it has paid off ten fold. I believe in Jane’s ingenuity, she doesn’t just take on the words in a book, she takes on the author and she truly cares. I will promote all of my books through Bedside Reading, Jane has made me a lifer. " -Keele Burgin, May 2019 (Little A) |

Janie, You can’t tell from where you’re sitting but I’m bouncing off the walls right now with excitement seeing that Deep is in a national publication!!! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you have done everything you said you would do and then some. I know you and know you wouldn’t do it or have it any other way. And for that I’m so very grateful. Love and Peace, Jeffrey J. Antonucci |
|
From the very first phone conversation with Jane, I knew I’d found a kindred spirit. Jane’s honesty, passion for people and for books, and kindness shine through in everything she does in her life and in Bedside Reading. She loves her authors and she takes fantastic care of them. Myself included! I am so thankful to be part of this program and to have someone like Jane on my team, who believes in me and in my work. It’s been a fun adventure so far, and we’re just getting started! I can’t wait to see where Bedside Reading takes me next!" -Jennifer Moorman, October 2019 |

Julie Chen, author of When I Grow Up:
Q: Julie, you are a successful TV personality, wife, mom, and now author. When I Grow Up is your debut book and it's for kids. Why write a children's book? A: I was approached by Simon and Schuster soon after becoming a mom to my son Charlie, asking would o be interested. At first I thought about doing a Chinese new year book to teach my son the traditions and why we celebrate the way we do. But then I thought I would love to let him know that no matter what he chooses in life, I’ve got his back. I will support him and believe in him. Continue About: When I Grow Up, by Julie Chen
One night while getting ready for bed a little boy starts to wonder what will life be like when he grows up. He could be a painter, a musician, a mountain climber, a mayor… He tells his mother all about his big ideas…and all of the other things he wants to do. But when will he grow up? And why does it take so long? |
Our Summer Picks! Summer vacation is here, which also means traveling with children. Julie Chen's book is the perfect children's book to take along! Purchase Here
Is there anything better than having a decision maker, an influencer or a CEO waking up next to your book on the nightstand?
We don't think so. It's your name we want them to wake up to. It's your book that's by their bedside.
What better way to promote your name (your brand) to these hotel guests. Our program is designed to promote you, the author, as a brand. It's your name and we want people to recognize it over and over again.
We work with all the major publishers around the world, and we also love working with independent publishers and authors. Genres include fiction, nonfiction, children's, business, lifestyle/spa and spiritual. Each book that is placed in the program is offered a placement in two hotels and/or a weekend in the Hamptons program.

Word-of-Mouth
I've worked with Jane Ubell and Madison & Mulholland for several years now to bring my titles to a wide variety of tastemakers across the country, starting with Hamptons Jitney giveaways and merging into distributions at premiere hotels nationwide. With every single activation I'm more and more impressed with the creativity and professionalism of the corporation. I'd highly recommend the programs to anyone looking to build buzz for their products!"
- E. Martirano, St. Martin's Press
This is SO fantastic, Thank you" - Kensington Publisher Corp.
Jane Ubell, you’re “the Oprah for the affluent” - Dianne Collins, Author of "Do You Quantum Think?"
"We placed our first book "It's Just So..." into the Bedside Reading Hamptons program last August. The results were quite dramatic. We had no other promotions going on the time and we were surprised to see our ranking and sales on Amazon spiked. We went from 1.6 million to about 200,000 in just a couple of days. Soon after we were at 31,300. Again, we had no other specific promotion at the time. We went on to incorporate the ad images in our other social media promotions. We could not be happier with the program. We were so thrilled with Jane's efforts we are placing our sequel book, "It's Just So Little" with her in the Bedside Reading program at the Acqualina Resort & Spa. We absolutely love working with her." - Peter Trimarco, "It's Just So..."
