4. Contribute to our newsletters or blog!

o  Add your book’s title to your email signature, and link to its product page on our website. If you’d like to include the cover image, we’ll be happy to provide it upon request.

o  Make sure your book is listed on your faculty web page, and link to its product page on our website.

o  If you have an account with websites such as www.academia.edu or www.linkedin.com, list the book among your publications.

o  If you are part of any online academic communities or listservs, send a new book notification.

o  Do you belong to any academic organizations? Tell them about your new book and feel free to include your discount code!

o  Do these organizations have a blog or newsletter? Offer to write a guest post or article. (This should be different from any contributions to Boydell’s blog and newsletters.)

o  Alert your alumni organizations; they will often include a notice in their class notes, magazine, or newsletter.

o  If you’re attending a conference, especially if there’s a panel on your book, request a discount flyer for your title that you can hand out. (Please give us three weeks’ notice before your departure date!)

o  If we have a booth at a conference you’re attending, come say hello and we’ll put a photo on social media (with your permission).

o  Send us reviews of your book. (If you see a quote from that review on our website, rest assured that we have it on file.)

o  Encourage your network of friends, colleagues, and peers to write a positive review on Amazon. Unless a book has at least three five-star reviews, Amazon won’t allow it to be included in certain promotions.
