Before you feel it’s waste of time and frown back at the idea of attaching a brand name to an author’s literary original work…

Why do authors need branding and promotional services for any book?
Inbetween billions of people full of proclaimed writers, uncountable reading sources, genres and a variety of options to choose from – you believe they will buy an anonymous writers book and read it to know what it is all about??
Does it sounds crazy!?! We mean it!!
You want masses to recognize your creativity and innovation, your latent talent and flair for writing ONLY based on a book they might never purchase in this fast-paced life.
People look out for credibility
You might be aware of the fact that people look out for credibility before buying anything rest assured a book.
And if they do get their hands on your book and probably liked your work, then they will yearn to read more of such compositions. In addition, they will start searching for links that will lead them to you to provide constructive feedback, relate to you, know more about you – when you plan to write and publish more of such stuff.
You might be an intellectually gifted writer with creativity that knows no bar but finally, they will give up searching for you. And due to their unsolved quest and thirst for more, they will prefer never to read and refrain from buying any book that contains your writings.
Resonate with your audience
It is very important to resonate with your audience, make them realize your commitment towards your narration, its authenticity, and the hard work put behind the curtains. Solving queries, delving deep further into that genre so people don’t lose interest & improvising the content time and again is quite essential practice to establish yourself as a known author.

Debate on various topics touched in the storyline, unlisted or unexplored niches and newly found testimonies is bound to rise among the readers every now and then.
The audience hence will always try to reach out to you for clarity time and again once your book gets published. Among masses and your fan followers, it will become an eternal favourite property of debate and discussions. Once clearly intercepted, will pass from one generation to the next generations as a valuable edition of knowledge and moral message
