How to get Your Book on the Websites
The Book Marketplace Net is a group of 16 subject specific book marketing websites and a couple of publishing service websites. It is specifically designed to as a low cost high-traffic online market for authors and independent publishers to target their customers. The websites each have an independent flavor. Marketing plans start at $10 per month allowing the author to submit 1-3 books for display on two websites of their choosing.
Book Marketplace also offers options to increase exposure by adding additional websites to their marketing. Authors may set up an appointment to meet with a Literary Marketing Agent who will help identify their target audience and help determine the best path to market their work within the structure of the Book Marketplace and beyond.
Authors may cancel at any time. One-time fee of 6 months or 12 months. We do not retain credit card numbers, bill beyond initial payment, or sell personal information. When it comes to trick or treat—this is not a trick, but truly a treat for authors to have free reign to offer their books to customers. All of the processing for the Book Marketplace occurs on the Book Marketplace website. This website is a spoke in a wheel. To join the Book Marketplace, you download paperwork to join and preview all the websites available at this time. The overview of the Book Marketplace Net websites is on the home page.

Added features include:
Book Marketing Support Group Meetings weekly. Members are given an opportunity to encourage one another by helping with book reviews. We all know that book reviews on Amazon help to sell books. The meetings have breakout groups where authors are provided with an opportunity to exchange information and promote awesome book reviews.
Live Event Promotional Items. One important step toward selling books is joining with live local events. We offer a simple way to order exactly what is needed to enhance your professional image. We have found that business cards with a QR Code, large foamboard posters and book banners are essential for live presentations, so we offer them as well. The Book Marketplace is sponsored by Glorybound Publishing. They have been publishing, printing and selling books for 20 years. They know exactly what is needed. There is no use spending extra money for items which are not indicated. We can help. Cards, posters and banners are professionally printed via Vistaprint and sent to your door.

The brainchild of Sheri Hauser
Book Marketplace Net is the brainchild of Sheri Hauser, a writer, and the owner of Glorybound Publishing, to provide a way for authors to release their works. She has published books since 2005 and has excelled in website development, social media, and marketing.
Combining these elements provides a unique opportunity to offer an inexpensive platform for those with books or music to display them in a marketplace for sale. Many are working through the process of publishing their book [indie] on KDP. Through KDP, they can upload files for free with print-on-demand options.
Books Going Nowhere
Authors are releasing their books on KDP [through Amazon], and discovering the title is quickly lost in the millions of new and used books on the website. Many are becoming discouraged wondering what to do next. They are thinking, “I know someone out there will be happy by reading my book, but I don’t have what it takes to get it into the main marketplace.”
