Marketing Historical Fiction on a budget, by Mary Anne Yarde


When it comes to marketing and finding a company to promote your book it can often feel overwhelming. There are so many companies to choose from, some genuine but others not so much. It is very easy to spend hundreds, if not thousands, of pounds promoting your book, but if you don’t have that kind of budget, what then?

My name is Mary Anne Yarde. I am an award-winning author and founder The Coffee Pot Book Club and Yarde Book Reviews & Book Promotion. My goal has always been to create a platform that would help Historical Fiction, Historical Romance, and Historical Fantasy authors promote their books and find that sometimes elusive audience. 

My daughter Ellie joined the business in 2020, and that’s when we started offering blog tour. In July 2022, we handed over the keys to The Coffee Pot Book Club to award-winning author, Cathie Dunn, who has many years of experience as a book reviewer, author, and editor. You can find out more about The Coffee Pot Book Club blog tours here: https://thecoffeepotbookclub.blogspot.com/p/blog-tours.html

In the same year, Ellie and I began to make preparations for a new company that focused more on Instagram. There is a huge #bookstagram community on Instagram who love nothing better than talking about their favourite books. However, our goal was also to establish a promotional company that provided budget-friendly promotions. This led to the establishment of Yarde Book Reviews & Book Promotions.
 
With nearly a decade of marketing Historical Fiction, we guarantee visibility for your book. What’s even better? Our promotions start at just £5.00.

We do everything for you. The only thing we ask for you to provide is a buy link for your book.
