Book Marketing 101
Book Marketing Is Visibility
Successful book marketing is layered. It is never just one tactic. It is media, hotel placement, podcasts, social media, reviews, digital visibility, and repeated discovery working together.
01
Be Seen Everywhere
By the pool. By the bedside. In the gym. Online. In the places readers are already paying attention.
02
Be Found by AI
AI is recommending books, authors, and experts. But AI cannot recommend what it cannot find.
03
Let Visibility Compound
Every media mention, hotel placement, interview, review, and digital asset builds authority over time.
Marketing is not one big moment. It is a consistent pattern of visibility that builds trust, authority, discoverability, and ultimately, book sales.

A note from the author, Matt Coyle.
"Bedside Reading is an author's cheerleader. When I saw that Jane Ubell-Meyer placed books from authors like Harlan Coben, Lisa Gardner, Chris Bohjalian, Salman Rushdie and many other NY Times bestselling authors in her program, I knew I needed to jump in. Jane did what she said she would...and much more for my book, WRONG LIGHT. She placed it at the exclusive Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica, the Dream Inn in Santa Cruz, Acqualina Resort & Spa in Florida, among other luxury hotels. Jane also hosted a book signing party at the Dream Inn (which led to being in PW's photo of the week), placed WRONG LIGHT in national media for several months, from Woman's World to Hollywood Weekly (online and in print), and so much more. The bottom line is that I couldn't have gotten that kind of national exposure without Jane Ubell-Meyer and Bedside Reading! Jane even promoted my new book, LOST TOMORROWS, on KTLA -TV, even before I re-upped with her innovative program.
I happily endorse Bedside Reading for any author looking for a boost in exposure."

Authors We've Placed
After working with them on several of my books, I can’t say enough good things about Bedside Reading. Jane truly cares about her authors, goes above and beyond, and always exceeds expectations. Jane is creative, responsive, and always willing to figure out what works best for each author, book, and budget. If an author is in a pinch, Jane is willing to step in to see how she can help. Bedside Reading has helped me gain more exposure, enhanced my author platform, and has generated more book sales. I love them!

Jane and her team at Bedside Reading were instrumental in launching my historical novel, Butterfly Games. From the beginning, Jane delivered far more than the already-impressive program outlined in her materials. Yes, she places books in hotels. Yes, she secures publicity in magazines and other media outlets. But what truly sets her apart is the care, creativity, and depth of experience she brings to every part of the process.
She created a shared drive filled with dozens of beautifully designed promotional graphics, and she has consistently been generous with her expertise in book marketing. As I write this, I’m returning from one of Jane’s author events in beautiful Palm Springs, still struck by the thoughtfulness and professionalism behind it all. Along with everything else she has done to spread the word about my novel of star-crossed lovers in Sweden, she filled a hotel lobby with readers and arranged for a television host to moderate the discussion.
Marketing and public relations can feel daunting for any author, but I have no doubt that Butterfly Games benefited enormously from being in the hands of Bedside Reading."

Working with Bedside Reading has been foundational to the success I’m experiencing now. From the very beginning, their team has believed in my work and gone above and beyond to help elevate my books in ways I couldn’t have achieved on my own. Their unique placement opportunities, media connections, and genuine passion for authors have made all the difference. I’ve seen real results, and more importantly, I’ve felt truly supported every step of the way. Bedside Reading isn’t just a marketing company; they’re a partner in your literary journey.

I've worked with Jane Ubell 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!"
