FOR PUBLISHERS & PROMOTERS If your title or product has a special appeal to Texas markets—individual or business—we deliver. Our outlets include your trading partners as well as dedicated readers. And you can reach them at a fraction of the cost of national ads. We can supplement your marketing plan—or be your marketing plan.
TEXAS BOOKS PREVIEW BOOSTS
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 we have the following book boost available:
PREMIUM BOOST ($100): the book is guaranteed to be included in the first 20 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 20 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 20 featured titles, a "Breaking News" link on our website, and the graphic & authors promoted on social media that day. You will also receive a 1/4 page ad in our new monthly magazine starting in October 2024.
