How To Market A Love Story eBook: 10 Questions You Need To Answer To Sell Millions Of Copies
A Crash Course In Category Creation For Fiction Writers
Hey there!
Romance is a billion-dollar market, and has always been one of the most-popular book genres—right up there with sci-fi and mystery thrillers. In total, romance accounts for nearly 20% of all fiction unit sales.
Which means the key to marketing a romance novel or love story isn’t “better marketing,” cover design, or getting featured on a podcast. Instead, it all starts by creating a new category for yourself and your story.
“Romance” is a giant category filled with hundreds of subcategories.
Romantic comedy
Historical romance
Suspense romance
Paranormal romance
Romance detective stories
Etc.
And inside any of these subcategories is then even more sub- subcategories.
Within Historical Romance you have “1700s romance” and “1800s romance” and “1900s romance,” and so on.
Within Romantic Comedy, you have “workplace rom-coms,” “nerdy love stories,” and “mischievous school crush comedies,” and so on.
Within Suspense Romance you have “romantic murder mystery” and “romantic thriller” and “romantic heist,” and so on.
As writers, there is a lot we can learn about designing new categories and marketing our writing from the romance genre.
Which is why I wrote a book about it:
How To Market A Love Story
How To Market A Love Story is a crash course on Category Creation for writers, and how the key to writing a book readers want to buy, read, and share with their friends isn’t just the story itself, but the ways in which you frame what makes the story “different” in the first place.
In this book, you will learn:
How to create a new category for yourself as a writer
Why you aren’t marketing your “story,” you’re marketing the transformation in the reader
How to create a new Voice & Format for your story in a way that stands out from any and all competition
The secret to igniting word-of-mouth marketing (putting the right words in the right mouths)
How to pinpoint your Superconsumers, and build a business flywheel with them at the center

And, if you are a self-published author, how you can monetize your content multiple times
This is a must-read for authors and novelists, but especially romance novelists who have seen the growing trend of “how to make money self-publishing romance” and want to write stories that make money—without sounding like every other romance story out there.
