About us

At Booksprout we’re dedicated to connecting authors and readers. We believe that by giving authors information and resources to launch their self-published books successfully, the connections between readers and authors will be even stronger. 

We’ve developed our “Five Star Launch” approach to help self-published authors in the five critical areas leading up to and during the launch of their books. Sign up for our newsletter to receive updates on articles, author interviews and guests posts of Five Star Launch’s key areas: 

The Story

Crafting a compelling narrative, engaging readers with fiction and non-fiction writing strategies and storytelling techniques.

The Package

Aligning your book’s cover and blurb, editing, proofreading, beta reading, and formatting.

The Audience

Recognizing and reaching your ideal readers through targeted marketing strategies.

The Reviews

The importance of reviews for your book and leveraging all the tools Booksprout offers to accumulate these.

The Marketplaces

Navigating where to sell your books, why it matters, pricing, royalties, and advertising.

While each aspect of the Five Star Launch is crucial, Booksprout is here to help you with managing your book review team. We hope that by sharing expertise in each of the Five Star Launch areas, we can continue to help lighten the load for a smooth, successful launch for every author.

A growing community of authors and readers.
