For authors

The same engine. Your book.

Shimmr is built for catalogs of thousands. It works just as well on one. The same intelligence that runs backlists for Big Five publishers, pointed at your title – and yours alone.

A book doesn’t have one moment. It has many.

Most book marketing happens in a six-week window around publication, and then fades out. But the reason a book becomes relevant keeps changing – a news cycle turns, a category heats up, an adjacent title breaks out, an anniversary lands. Shimmr keeps reading for those moments and keeps acting on them, for as long as you want the book working.

This is the difference between a launch campaign and a marketing platform. You are not buying one push. You are keeping your book marketed for as long as you need it marketed.

What’s included

Everything your book needs, on tap.

Product Listings

Amazon and retailer copy written to the angle that is landing right now, not the one you wrote at launch.

Metadata

Keywords and category placement tuned to how readers are actually searching this month.

Creative

Cover-led and concept creative generated from your book’s own DNA, refreshed as the angle moves.

Search Engine Optimization

Organic visibility built from the same strategy driving everything else.

Generative Engine Optimization

Discoverability inside AI conversations – where an increasing share of book discovery now begins.

PR

Pitches tied to live cultural relevance, so you approach press with a reason it matters now.

Podcasts

Shows matched to your book’s actual readership, with the pitch material written for you.

Advertising

Ad creative ready to run. Add deployment when you want it live.

Regional Sales Kits

Your book is already on sale in every marketplace. Positioning, keywords and creative localized for each one – the work an international sales team would do.

What Shimmr will and won’t do

It will

Read your book properly, find the angles that connect, write the assets, and keep re-reading the market as your book’s moment shifts. It does the work a publisher’s marketing department would do for a lead title.

It won’t

Guarantee sales, replace a publicist’s relationships, or make a book work that has no readership. Shimmr finds and reaches the readers who exist – it cannot invent them.

Each package covers media spend, passed through at cost, plus Shimmr’s continuous optimization. The Deployer places and optimizes autonomously, and performance feeds back into the Strategizer.
