So you need book photos for the pre-launch but it's not printed yet...

 

Your book is still in the shop getting fine tuned but you need photos to help with the pre-launch?

No sweat - I gotcha covered, :)

 

Since the Showcase Your Book Photo Session launch, I’ve had several conversations with authors who are excited to schedule their shoot, but informed me that their book isn’t ready for print. 

And, in the next breath, they’ll say in passing, “...but, I’d really love some images to help with the pre-launch!”

In that instance, I suggest an easy alternative that still produces the types of world-class images that will gain the attention of potential readers in your audience.

Send me the book as a PDF or other digital format and we can make that work!

The fact is, many people read books digitally through their phones, tablets and computers. So, why not allow your audience to preview that experience through your image content, as well?

Show your audience what the cover, chapter titles, pull quotes and/or illustrations look like in a digital format while also offering yourself the opportunity to create valuable content to help spread the word about your latest masterpiece. 

And then, when the book is printed, then you can shift gears and share different photos taken directly from the physical book itself.

Capturing digital images of your book is not just for authors who want to give themselves the opportunity to create persuasive book pre-launch content.

For example, what if you plan to sell your work exclusively as an e-book?

In that case, digital photos would cover all of your image asset needs, pre and post-launch. Done and done!

Wanna know the best part?

The book doesn’t even need to be completely done before it gets ready for it’s close-up!

If the publishing process is at the point where you’re essentially crossing T’s and dotting I’s, and the cover art and layout is locked in, that’s all we need to make magic happen. 

During our strategy call, we will create a shot list of what book elements are to be photographed and what is to be avoided.

Either way, the camera won’t judge bad punctuation, tense and grammar choices, I promise, :) 

As a way to add more value for your investment, I’m going to throw in some extra goodies, as well - for a limited time, that is!

If you book your Showcase Your Book Photo Session by Monday, February 8 at 5pm EST, I’ll add 10 extra photos on top of any package that you purchase.

The time for you to step aside and give your book the stage is now!

PS - Know any authors who could benefit from a portfolio of book images to help promote their work? Would you be so kind as to share this article with them - please and thank you, :)
