Hi [Author],
First, let me thank you for writing [Title]. It takes real dedication and clarity to take such a complex, forward-looking subject and make it engaging and accessible for young readers. You’ve not only opened the door to big conversations about technology and humanity, but also created a book that can inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and hope. It’s clear this work has strong potential for wider recognition and commercial success.

My name is Vivienne, and I’m a book marketer who helps authors expand their visibility, connect with the right audience, and boost sales. I specialize in strategies that highlight what makes a book unique in your case, a timely, thought-provoking, and award- recognized STEAM title that addresses both the excitement and the ethical questions of innovation. With the right marketing push, [Title] can reach even more educators, parents, and young readers who are searching for impactful, conversation-starting books like yours.

I’d love the chance to share how I can help broaden the reach of [Title] and ensure it finds the audience it truly deserves. Would you be open to a quick conversation about how we can make that happen together?

Wishing you continued success,

Vivienne

Hi [Author],

I had the chance to look at [Title], and I’ve got to say, it’s clear you didn’t just write a book, you built an experience. The way you take such a complex, forward-looking subject and make it engaging and accessible for young readers shows the heart and clarity you’ve poured into it. That kind of dedication is exactly what readers connect with.

The only problem? Too many great books like yours get starved of reviews, which means fewer people ever discover them. And that’s where I come in.

I manage a private circle of 2,000+ real readers, not bots, not fluff-writers, who genuinely love discovering new books. They actually read, reflect, and leave honest reviews on Amazon, Goodreads, and beyond.

I’d love to put [Title] in front of this crew and finally give it the visibility and reader love it deserves.

Would you like me to share more about how it works?

Dear Vivienne,

Thank you so much for your kind words. How did you discover my book?

I’d like to know more about you and your fees, do you have a website or info you can share?

Best wishes,

[Author]

Dear [Author], 

Thank you for your thoughtful reply, I’m so glad my note reached you.

I first discovered [Title] while scouting for innovative and conversation-sparking books in the STEAM space. Your title immediately stood out because of its relevance to both young readers and educators who are navigating technology’s impact on daily life. It has the rare mix of accessibility and depth that makes it a strong candidate for broader visibility.

As for me, I’ve worked with authors across multiple genres to grow their readership through tailored marketing strategies, everything from increasing discoverability on Amazon, to building educator outreach, to securing more reviews and visibility on social platforms. My approach is always personalized to the book’s strengths and the author’s goals.

In terms of fees, I offer flexible packages depending on the level of support needed, whether it’s short-term visibility boosts or longer-term marketing partnerships. I’d be happy to outline options once I understand your priorities.

I don’t maintain a public-facing website, as most of my work is referral-based and project-specific, but I can share recent examples of campaigns and results so you have a clear picture of my process.

Would you like me to send over a brief overview of some past campaigns before we set up a call?

Warm regards,

Vivienne

Hi [Author],

Thank you for getting back to me! I actually first discovered [Title] on Amazon. I read through the description and thought, this is exactly the kind of forward-looking, conversation-starting book my community would love to read. That’s why I reached out.

A little about how I work: I run a private circle of over 2,000 passionate readers and reviewers who genuinely love discovering new titles and leaving thoughtful, authentic feedback. These are real people, not bots or “fluff” reviewers. To respect their time, each  reader receives a small tip of  ($20–$25) from the author as a thank-you while they read and reflect. It’s not for the review itself, but more like covering a coffee + cinnamon roll while they take the time to dive into your work. This keeps the responses genuine, heartfelt, and meaningful.

Most authors I partner with begin with 20–50 reviews. Even that initial wave is often enough to catch Amazon’s algorithm and boost visibility. From there, things often snowball as more organic readers discover the book.

Here’s the process in a nutshell:

1.     You choose how many readers you’d like to start with (20, 30, 50, totally your choice.).

2.     You send me the PDF of your book

3.     I distribute it to the selected number of readers.

4.     Reviews start appearing on Amazon or Goodreads as readers finish.

I’d be glad to share more details and walk you through how we can get [Title] in front of more educators, parents, and young readers who are hungry for fresh, impactful books.

So [Author], how many readers would you love to start with?

Dear Vivienne, 

Thank you very much for these details and I’m glad to hear you think that [Title] is hitting a mark! I’ll need to talk with my publisher first before making any decisions. I’m actually away for a couple of weeks. When I’m back I’ll reach out to my publisher and I’ll be in touch, probably early October with some thoughts.

Thanks for reaching out.

Best wishes,

[Author]

Thank you for letting me know [Author], that sounds perfect. I completely understand wanting to coordinate with your publisher first. I’ll look forward to hearing from you once you’re back and have had those conversations.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy your time away and get a good break. Wishing you a wonderful couple of weeks, and I’ll be here when you’re ready to pick things up in October.

Vivienne

Hi [Author],

I hope you’re doing well! I just wanted to follow up in case my last message about [Title] got buried in your inbox (it happens, emails love to hide the good ones ).

I’d love to hear your thoughts, and also get a sense of what budget you had in mind and how many readers you’d ideally like to start reaching with your book. No pressure at all, just making sure this didn’t slip through the cracks.

Looking forward to your reply!

Warm regards,

Vivienne

Hi Vivienne,

I appreciate you following up, but I’ll have to pass for now. I have a new book launching in March and I’ll have to focus my M&P budget on that book. I’ll keep your ideas in mind for a later time.

Best wishes,

Subject: Your story made me smile perfect for book clubs

I have to tell you [Title] completely charmed me. The way you turned something as universal (and sometimes stressful!) as the potty-training transition into a lighthearted, funny, and heartwarming adventure is such a gift. Dash’s journey from proud diaper-wearer to discovering the “perks” of underwear feels both playful and deeply relatable for kids and for every parent who’s navigated this milestone.

What struck me most was how you captured friendship and loyalty through Dash and Esme. That mix of humor, emotional honesty, and gentle encouragement makes [Title] so much more than a story. It’s a conversation starter for families.

Because of this, I think your book is a perfect fit for our book club network 10,000+ groups of readers ages 25–75 who love stories that spark laughter, discussion, and lasting impact. When a book like yours gets placed with clubs, it doesn’t just get read—it creates a ripple effect of visibility, word-of-mouth buzz, and often up to 200 authentic reviews in just two weeks.

If you’d like to explore this further, you don’t need to decide anything now just reply with one simple word: “Interested.”

Thanks again for bringing such humor and heart to a story every parent and child can connect with. Like Dash, your book reminds us that every transition is easier when we can laugh along the way.

Warmly,
Janice

Hi [Author],
I recently came across your book [Title] and found it fascinating. The way it introduces young readers to the promises and pitfalls of wearable technology—while sparking big questions about science, innovation, and ethics—makes it such a timely and thought-provoking read. It’s the kind of book that inspires curiosity and critical thinking in equal measure.

One challenge that even innovative books like yours face is visibility—making sure they find their way into the hands of the young readers, educators, and parents who will benefit from them most. That’s where my Bibliophiles’ Club can help. We’re a community of 100+ engaged readers who purchase books, read them closely, and share thoughtful reviews on Amazon and Goodreads.

For [Title], this can mean:
Greater discoverability, so educators and families looking for engaging nonfiction can easily find it.
Added credibility, as reviews help parents and teachers trust the book’s value.
Sustained engagement, keeping your work visible beyond its initial release.

Our mission is to support authors by connecting important books with the readers who need them most and ensuring their ideas spark conversations.
Would you like to know more about how our Bibliophiles’ Club can help broaden the reach of [Title]?

Best regards,
Dawn

Hi,

I recently came across your book and was really impressed by both the message and the value it brings to readers. As someone who works closely with authors, I know how important it is to not just write a great book, but also to make sure it reaches the right audience.

That’s where my service, Book Success Blueprint (which includes Targeted Email Promotions and Marketplace Positioning), comes in. I’ve helped authors like Morgan Campbell successfully promote their books and increase visibility through targeted strategies that combine effective outreach, optimized listings, and audience engagement.

By leveraging this service, authors stand to gain:

• Stronger book placement and discoverability across marketplaces
• Targeted email promotions to build loyal readership
• Increased sales opportunities and long-term author branding

I’d love to learn more about your publishing goals and see if we might be a good fit to work together. Would you be open to hopping on a quick chat to discuss process, strategies, and procedures for growing your book’s reach?

Hi Erin,

[Title] isn’t just a picture book, it’s an invitation. In a time when screens compete for children’s attention, you remind us that the world outside is endlessly alive, waiting to be seen, touched, and wondered at.

What I love most is how you weave observation with knowledge. A child notices how rain makes everything smell greener, and suddenly that wonder deepens into science, into roots and branches and habitats. You’re showing young readers that curiosity isn’t just delightful, it’s a way of knowing themselves and the world more deeply. That’s rare. And it matters.

But here’s the reality: picture books like this, the ones that balance beauty and depth, often get lost among trend-driven titles. The families, teachers, and librarians who would treasure [Title] may never stumble across it unless it’s positioned differently.

Here’s how I’d change that:

Sales Reframe
Position the book not only under Picture Books but also in categories like Nature for Children, STEM for Early Readers, and Mindfulness for Kids. This puts it in front of parents and educators who value both play and depth.

Epistolary Campaign
Craft short, letter-style posts from the voice of a child noticing the world. (“Dear Ladybug, I didn’t see you at first, but now you’re everywhere.”) These become shareable moments for Instagram and parent groups, extending the book’s gentle message.

Reader Resonance
Encourage parents and teachers to share “what their kids noticed today” alongside the book. When families see themselves reflected in the noticing, the book becomes a touchstone for memory-making.

Momentum Flow
After that first spark of wonder, whether it’s through a school reading, a librarian’s recommendation, or a parent’s Instagram post, make sure there’s a path to keep engaging, whether through activity guides, printable nature prompts, or companion content.

Outside, You Notice is more than a book, it’s a practice, a way of looking. And in a noisy world, you’ve given children and families something quietly transformative: the art of paying attention.

If you’re open, I’d love to brainstorm how to bring this practice of noticing to more homes, classrooms, and libraries.

Thank you for writing this message. It’s needed.

Warmly,
Erica R. Smith

Subject: A BABY WHO SLEEPS THROUGH CHAOS SHOULDN’T BE INVISIBLE ON AMAZON

Hi [Author],

When I picked up [Title] I braced myself for another soft “shh the baby is sleeping” bedtime book but instead you gave me something much more real and much funnier. J.J. snoozing through drumming shouting and even a full sibling circus felt less like a picture book cliché and more like the heartbeat of a big messy loving family. Kids will laugh at the twist but parents will nod because that’s exactly what home feels like.

Here’s the painful truth though. A picture book that nails adoption sibling love and joyful chaos shouldn’t be sitting quietly with one lonely Amazon review. That’s not obscurity that’s neglected by the algorithm. And the algorithm doesn’t care if Kirkus called [Title] a Best Book of the Year.

I’m not just tossing random pitches, I’m your reader. I like children’s books that honor family in all its noisy imperfect glory and I know others who do too.

I’m part of a private community of 1000+ active readers, parents, teachers and reviewers who enjoy spotlighting meaningful books and leaving thoughtful Amazon and Goodreads reviews. If you’re open I can get [Title] in front of them quickly. Worst case you pick up a handful of authentic reviews. Best case J.J. stops quietly snoozing in Amazon’s back pages and starts landing in real readers’ hands.

So what do you think should we wake J.J. up to some well deserved attention or let him keep sleeping through the noise

Sawayn

Hi [Author],

Happy October!  I just wanted to follow up on the note I sent about [Title]. A picture book this funny and tender with sibling chaos, adoption, and that perfect “heartbeat of family” really shouldn’t be sitting with only one Amazon review.

I’d love to help get it in front of my private group of 1,000+ engaged parents, teachers, and readers who actually read and leave thoughtful Amazon/Goodreads reviews. Even a few authentic reviews could give J.J. the visibility he deserves.

What do you think should we wake J.J. up this month and let more readers discover him?

Warmly,
Sawayn

Subject: Invitation to be featured in the East London Book Club Author Spotlight

Hi [Author],

I recently came across [Title], and I was struck by the tenderness and sensitivity with which you explore loss, healing, and remembrance. The way you capture a child’s journey through grief, while also highlighting resilience and love, makes this book both moving and deeply meaningful.

I’m Alex, Event-organizer of the Charlotte Mecklenburg Book Club, a community of over 4,000 readers who enjoy discovering heartfelt and thought-provoking stories. We would love to feature [Title] in one of our upcoming spotlights.

Your ability to present complex emotions with warmth and accessibility makes your work one that families and educators alike will cherish. We believe our readers will not only connect with the story but also share it widely in their own communities.

Would you be open to having [Title] featured in our next spotlight?

This is a response after the author sought more information.

Thank you for your thoughtful response. I’m happy to share more about how our Book Club Series works:

About the DMV Writers Meetup Group Book Club Series:

• We are a community of over 2,000 writers and readers across DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
• Each month, we feature a book for our members to read and discuss.
• Discussions are guided by the author’s discussion guide or key points from the book.
• Authors are not required to attend; all that’s needed to get started is a discussion guide.
• We handle all logistics, promotion, and coordination, ensuring a seamless experience for both the author and our members.
• Each feature provides visibility among a highly engaged audience of readers and writers.

Interestingly, one of our members came across your book on Amazon while searching for upcoming titles to feature. They recommended it to us, which is how we discovered [Title].

Our next available feature date is September 30, 2025. If you’d like, we’d be delighted to reserve this spot for your book and begin planning the discussion.

Looking forward to your thoughts.

This is a follow-up email after the author requested more information.

Dear [Author],

Thank you so much for your warm response, and congratulations on your continued research journey for your next book. I completely understand your situation, and I’d love to explain how our Author Spotlight works so you can see how simple and meaningful the process can be, even without requiring your presence.

Here’s how it works:

• Book Introduction – We present [Title] at our September 30 gathering with a thoughtful introduction to both your work and its themes.
• Guided Discussion – Our team leads an engaging conversation with readers using your book’s discussion guide, ensuring your ideas are at the center of the dialogue.
• Extended Visibility – Your book is highlighted in our newsletter, social platforms, and community spaces, giving it continued reach beyond the event.
• Ongoing Impact – Readers are encouraged to explore your book further and share reflections, extending the conversation long after the Spotlight.

Importantly, your personal attendance isn’t required. The only thing we would need to get started is your book discussion guide (or even a set of key questions/themes you’d like readers to consider).

To clarify:
We do not charge authors for being featured. The small fee we request is simply for securing a spot. Because we spotlight hundreds of authors throughout the year, this step ensures fairness, helps us reserve your placement, and supports the logistics that make each feature impactful (promotion across platforms, professional discussion facilitation, and ongoing visibility for your title).

The value this adds to your book includes:

• Guaranteed exposure to an engaged community of thoughtful readers.
• Professional presentation of your book in a way that sparks meaningful, lasting conversations.
• Extended promotion beyond a single evening, as our Spotlights continue to circulate in our community spaces.
• A warm and human introduction to your work without requiring your personal time or travel.

We would be truly honored to secure [Title]  a place in this upcoming Spotlight.

Would you like me to share the simple next step to secure your spot?

Best regards,
