Writing and publishing a book is just the first step for an author. Our extensive knowledge of bookselling will help you set a strategy for getting your book—and its message—out into the world. We have worked with all types of authors for literally decades. We often say we’ve seen it all, but we still encounter new ideas and new sales challenges every week, and we love to meet both. If you have one of either, we’d love to hear from you.
Advertising & GiveawaysWe offer easy and effective advertising options for publishers and authors to get their books in front of, and literally in the hands of, avid readers. | Bestseller ReportingWe report all book sales run through Porchlight Book Company to The New York Times and NPD BookScan. | Book CustomizationWhether it’s part of training someone for a job, an add-on at a conference, or a holiday gift, we can customize books to make a lasting impression. |
Bulk Book PricingWe offer competitive discounts on bulk book orders, and an array of options for how to process them. | Custom CheckoutOur one-page order platform provides a quick and easy way to execute your pre-order campaign, book promotion, book club, or corporate gifting program. | Delivery LogisticsWe excel at managing high-touch, large quantity orders on tight, specific timelines—including international shipments. |
Editorial CoverageWe not only move books, we immerse ourselves in them, attempting to understand the ideas and intent of the authors, and help spread those we believe in. | Mass Book MailingWe excel at moving a lot of books at once, even if that means sending them individually to many hundreds or even thousands of different addresses. | Personalized Customer ServiceWe understand that every order is unique, and often needs the flexibility that only a dedicated personal representative can provide. |
Preorder CampaignsWe offer a wide variety of services to help authors and publishers capture preorders, and accurately report the sales when they ship. |
PROJECT HIGHLIGHT
We're big fans of Michael Bungay Stanier and book bundles, so we're very excited to share these photos of this project. We stuffed each custom-printed mailer with a letter, an inspirational keychain, and an early copy of MBS's new book How to Work With (Almost) Anyone, and mailed them to a mailing list of Michael's biggest fans.
We love working with books but even moreso with the people who write and read them! Reach out and let's work together to help your book make a lasting impression on those who receive it.
PROJECT HIGHLIGHT
Porchlight makes books into great thank-you gifts for any event!
CHG Healthcare hired Porchlight to assemble and ship out a bulk order of Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily Nagoski, PhD and Amelia Nagoski, DMA along with custom metal bookmarks for their conference attendees. The books arrived at the conference decorated with a signed bookplate and a corner page cover with a quote from the book and a thank-you message from the event organizers.
