Discoverability from day one
A listing in our Book Directory, Author Directory, and a dedicated "About the Book" page - a permanent, searchable home readers and journalists actually visit.
You wrote the book - lived inside it for months, maybe years. And within two weeks of publishing, the noise faded: the same 200 people, the same circle. This is exactly the problem Frontlist was built to solve - a transparent, structured way to put your book in front of readers who don't already know you.
Over five years we've heard the same frustrations again and again. In the authors' own words:
"I don't know what promotion costs or what I'll get for it."
Most platforms hide pricing. You're expected to negotiate, guess, or just trust it'll be worth it.
"I need someone credible to talk about my book - not just me."
Readers trust a review from a platform they respect far more than an author promoting their own work.
"I don't know how to do social media without feeling like I'm selling."
You're a writer, not a content creator. Reels, carousels, trailers - that's skill and time you don't have.
"My book has no visual identity beyond the cover."
No trailer, no shareable graphics, no video. In a video-first world, most books are invisible.
"My reach doesn't go beyond my own circle."
However often you post, it's the same audience. No pathway to other cities, communities, or countries.
"I have no author identity outside my Amazon page."
Readers follow authors, not just books - but that needs a platform, a profile, and a community.
What started as a passion project is now a community spanning India's most unapologetic literature festival, a monthly e-magazine, and hundreds of authors' first real media coverage.
Here is exactly what we offer - and what it solves for you. Every package is fully itemised.
