LibraryBub

USA Today Bestselling Authors are raving about LibraryBub!

Discover how YOU can get your indie or small-press book into libraries without worrying about the gatekeepers!


You’ve written an outstanding book. You’re successfully selling it online and you may have even won awards, but you’ve had no luck getting it into libraries. Despite all your efforts to connect with a publisher, get pre-publication book reviews in library journals, and appear on vendors lists, you’re not any closer to getting on the shelf than you were before you wrote the first chapter!

Like everyone, you’ve hoped against hope that your print-on-demand company would come through on its promise to make your books available to libraries. But they haven’t sold a single copy, and you have no way to contact U.S. libraries on your own.

But now, what seemed like a hopeless situation has a light at the end of the tunnel…

What if you could connect with libraries around the country without lifting a finger? How would you feel if readers throughout the nation could check out your book and spread the word to friends, family, and fellow book lovers?

LibraryBub

A service that does for indie and small-press what the Big 5 publishers do for traditionally published authors. 

We email around 10,000 libraries* and tell them about your book and where to buy it.

Here’s what LibraryBub does for you:

benefit 2

benefit 3

Authors are RAVING about LibraryBub!

To gain exposure like this, is what every self-published author dreams of! Having our books considered by libraries only expands our opportunities to reach new readers everywhere! LibraryBub’s plan to reach them is an invaluable service and every author who is considering this service should jump on board without reservations! Thank you, LibraryBub! This service exceeded my expectations!

S.L. Morgan, Best-selling, award-winning author

Anytime my books can get in front of readers is a good day. Anytime my books can be seen by librarians is a fantastic day. The more people who know about my book, “Fractured Not Broken”, the more books I’ll sell. LibraryBub is a great marketing tool that increased the visibility of my books and boosted sales.

Michelle Weidenbennerauthor of “Fractured Not Broken: a Memoir

LibraryBub has increased my sales and exposure far beyond my expectations.  Only two (yes 2) days after the LibraryBub email was sent out, I began receiving notes from several libraries thanking me for this service informing them of my book (“From the Kitchens of Pancho Villa”)….and they purchased it!  Libraries are an unusual and unique market, LibraryBub has what it takes to break into that market.  LibraryBub has done just what they said they would. If you are an Indie author, you need this service! Thank you LibraryBub!

Karina Ann Betlem, Author of “From the kitchens of Pancho Villa”

When the email was sent out to librarians, my book (“Four Quadrant Living: Making Healthy Living Your New Way of Life”) had an 18% click rate. That’s extraordinary in email marketing. My book received over 400 clicks, which means that hundreds of librarians were interested in my book. I thought it was a big win to get my book into my local library. I’m very excited about the possibility of my book being in even more libraries across the country. LibraryBub helped make this happen for me!

Dina Colmanauthor of “Four Quadrant Living: Making Healthy Living Your New Way of Life”

I was absolutely floored by the results of LibraryBub’s first mailing to librarians, a mailing that included my literary fiction novel “he & She”. Nearly 300 librarians clicked on my book to get more information. I would have been happy with just a handful of clicks. Alinka Rutkowska is definitely opening doors for authors.

Wayne Clarkauthor of “he & She”

After spending weeks doing a local library mailing, I considered doing a nation-wide library promotion but found the time commitment daunting. When I received Alinka’s LibraryBub offer, I was thrilled to hire her to do the work at a reasonable cost. Thanks, Alinka!

Ruth Hull Chatlienauthor of “The Ambitious Madame Bonaparte”

Wow, those are really impressive results. I’ll definitely be using LibraryBub again.

Alexandra Sokoloff author of “Huntress Moon (The Huntress/FBI Thrillers Book 1)”

Some people promise a lot and deliver very little. Some people promise a lot and deliver exactly what they claim. Alinka and LibraryBub need to be lumped at the top of the latter category.


Steve Kohlhagen
author of “Where They Bury You, A Novel” 

I really appreciate the opportunity to use LibraryBub, which I found to be highly professional and responsive at all times. The follow-up data is very useful – it’s exciting to know how many librarians wanted more information about my books! Thank you for providing this excellent and unique service to authors.



Cynthia Port
, author of “Where They Bury You, A Novel”  

There was a marked spike in my book sales on Amazon after the LibraryBub  promotion. Good job!




David Pereda
, author of “However Long the Night” 

LibraryBub exposed my novel to sources previously inaccessible to me, and at a reasonable cost, placed my novel, Hush in the Storm, in the hands of readers in libraries across the nation. It targets the folks who love to read and is well worth the cost.


Julie B Cosgrove
 
author of “Hush in the Storm”

The professionalism and librarian outreach by LibraryBub has far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Alinka Rutkowska’s services! Money well spent!


Donna M. McDine
 author of “Dee and Deb, Off They Go: Kindergarten First Day Jitters”

This is  the second  time I have signed onto a mailing with your Librarybub. As Author-Illustrator of  a book which has now won four awards for Best Book, I am honored to have been featured  with a  limited number of other outstanding authors. The results from interested libraries has been excellent at a very reasonable cost, requiring no effort on my part to reach 10,000 acquisition librarians.


Betty Shubert 
author of “OUT-of-STYLE: A Modern Perspective of How, Why and When Vintage Fashions Evolved”

Many thanks to LibraryBub to link my book, My Ladybird Story, to librarians whom wouldn’t have heard of my book. Such exposure is a dream for most self-published authors like myself. This invaluable service is truly a God send, go try it for your book ASAP.

Working with Library Bub was such a fun and easy experience. Getting into libraries is important to an author’s success so what Alinka is doing is invaluable. I was super happy with the results and would highly recommend this service.

Sarah Noffke http://www.sarahnoffke.com

As an author, my partnership with LibraryBub has been a rewarding experience. Results were quick and productive. LibraryBub is an excellent investment. Thank you for your attention to my novel.

Can I talk to a human?

Of course! Please send an email to alinka@librarybub.com

How will libraries buy my book?

Libraries buy books via Baker & Taylor and Ingram. Many can purchase via Amazon.

Can I submit an ebook?

No. This service is for physical books only.

I want to feature multiple books. Do you offer discounts?

Yes, please go here to see our bulk discounts.

Of course. Here’s a newsletter from 10/05/2017.

How long should my pitch be if I get selected?

We recommend 100-200 words.

How do I know if my book is available via Baker & Taylor or Ingram?

If you published your book via CreateSpace and selected the Expanded Distribution channel, then it’s available via Baker & Taylor (Your book must have a CreateSpace- Assigned ISBN). If you purchased your own ISBN when you published with CreateSpace then you should publish also via Ingram-Spark (you can use the same ISBN) to make it available in the Ingram catalog. If you published via Ingram Spark or Lightning Source, then it’s available via Ingram.

Help! I paid and didn’t get any confirmation.

All is well. Please fill in this form so we can get started. It has been sent to your PayPal email. Thank you.

I already paid for one book. Can I upgrade to a multi-pack?

Yes, we track open rates, click through rates and purchases.

Please note that when libraries select your book, they will schedule it for purchase during their budget calendar. This means that rather than seeing a sudden spike in sales you will see increased sales over time.

Can I see what a press release looks like?

Of course. Please see our recent release on NBC and Fox.
