Episode launch package
Your interview goes out to 48,000 monthly listeners with a written show page, a full searchable transcript, chapter marks and a downloadable clip reel you can post anywhere.
After the interview
We help you promote the book once the microphones are off
A good conversation is only half of it. Every author who records with Behind the Book goes into a promotion window: the episode goes out, the book takes a slot on this page, and we push it to the readers, booksellers and reading groups on our list. No extra fee, and nothing you have to chase.
What every guest gets
Promoted books page
Your book takes a slot on this page for a full month, with a 3D cover mock up, publisher and buying details, and a link on every page of the site.
Newsletter feature
A dedicated section in the Behind the Book newsletter: an extract, one quote from the recording and a straight recommendation to 21,000 readers who buy books.
Social and audiogram cuts
Three vertical audiograms and a set of pull quotes cut from your episode, captioned and ready for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and LinkedIn.
Event and festival slot
A live recording, reading or workshop on one of our stages, with RSVP handling, calendar files and reminder emails done by us.
Bookseller and club outreach
We pitch your title to the independent bookshops, librarians and reading groups on our list, and send them the episode as the hook.
