My first Ad campaign

I started an experiment after hearing good things about authors receiving easy traction using BookBub. My budget? $50. Timescale? From now until New Year's Eve.

BookBub attempts to match users with books they enjoy reading and introduce new authors based on a reader's disclosed interests and click-through behaviour.

I'll report back once I have more data, but suffice to say, I discovered a lot of authors who write similar books to mine.

In no particular order:

  • Amish Tripathi
  • Ashok K. Banker
  • Axie Oh
  • Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
  • Christopher Moore
  • Gregory Maguire
  • Marlon James
  • Tomi Adeyemi
  • Genevieve Gornichec
  • Helene Wecker
  • Jennifer Saint
  • Joanne Harris
  • John Gwynne
  • Juliet Marillier
  • Katherine Kerr
  • Katherine Arden
  • Kavita Kane
  • Kevin Hearne
  • Lloyd Alexander
  • Madeline Miller
  • Margaret George
  • Naomi Novik
  • Natalie Haynes

  • Pat Barker
  • Rick Riordan
  • Roger Zelazny
  • S.A. Chakraborty
  • Silvia Moreno-Garcia
  • Sue Lynn Tan
  • Vaishnavi Patel
  • Yangsze Choo

My target categories are Historical Fiction, Teen and Young Adult, Fantasy, Action and Adventure, and Literary Fiction.
