Frontlist Author Packages

Your book deserves more than a launch week.

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.

Why most authors struggle to promote their books

Over five years we've heard the same frustrations again and again. In the authors' own words:

  1. "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.

  2. "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.

  3. "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.

  4. "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.

  5. "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.

  6. "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.

Why we're growing

This is why Frontlist exists.

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.

Why Packages

Why Frontlist Author Packages

01

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.

02

A credible third-party voice

Editorial book reviews and author interviews give your book independent coverage no self-promotion can replicate.

03

Content you couldn't produce yourself

From professionally produced book trailers to social posts across Instagram, Facebook, X and LinkedIn - we handle creation.

04

A visual identity for your book

Book cover design assistance and trailer production in premium packages - because first impressions deserve more than a rushed template.

05

A featured author slot

Placement as a featured author on the homepage and across our platform - in front of our entire readership, not just your followers.

06

Chapter pe Chapter - our AI page

Your book broken down Chapter pe Chapter with key themes, quotes, and reader Q&As - deep-engagement content that builds a readership.

One thing that will never change: our editorial reviews are independent. Paid packages guarantee placement and promotion - not a positive review. Sponsored reviews are clearly labelled "Featured Review." That's the promise we made when we started Frontlist, and it's what makes a Frontlist review worth having.
