TEXAS BOOKS PREVIEW BOOSTS (starting at $0)

Every month, we publish the popular LONE STAR LITERARY LIFE TEXAS BOOKS PREVIEW of the new titles publishing that month by Texas authors and/or books that have a Tex-centric focus. There is never a cost to have your title listed, but if you want your book to have extra attention, there are two levels of book boosts available:

 

LISTED & LINKED ($10): the book is listed in the "But Wait! There's More!" section of the Texas Books Preview and hyperlinked to the provided website or point-of-sale. Additionally, the book's cover is included in the graphic used on social media in our weekly book birthdays, and the book's title is featured in the post.

 

BASIC BOOST ($40): the book is guaranteed to be included, (first come, first served) as one of 10 books featured in the website preview article, behind the 10 Premium Boost titles (see below). The book's cover, description, and purchase hyperlink are included in the listing. Additionally, the book's cover is included in the graphic of 20 book covers used in promoting the feature on social media, and we'll spotlight the book again in our weekly book birthdays on social media. 

 

PREMIUM BOOST ($65): the book is guaranteed to be included in the first 10 books listed in the website preview article and is included in a dedicated Sneak Peek eBlast that goes out to our email subscribers the day prior to the feature. The eBlast features only 10 titles from the full preview, which often includes close to 100 books, and in addition to the above Basic Boost perks, a single-sentence author bio, headshot, and website link are also included.  Titles in the eBlast get another layer of focused promotion with a graphic of only the 10 featured titles, a "Breaking News" link on our website, and the graphic & authors promoted on social media that day.
