Who we work with

Helping independent authors build long-term visibility

Every author starts somewhere different. Some want more readers, others want stronger retail visibility, speaking opportunities, media exposure, or simply a platform that keeps working. Our role is to build marketing systems around those goals, not to manufacture short-term attention.

Growing authors

Improving discoverability, retail presence, and long-term reader growth for books already out in the world.

Business and thought leaders

Using a book to support consulting, coaching, speaking, and the authority that comes with being read.

Established authors

Refreshing backlists and building sustainable growth strategies across an existing body of work.

Outcomes

Real results. Meaningful growth.

Marketing should produce measurable progress, not simply activity. Every campaign focuses on improving discoverability, visibility, and long-term opportunities.

Who we are

We're not just a marketer.
We're your book's second team.

Helitesmedia started because too many good books were disappearing into a crowded market, not from lack of quality, but lack of visibility. We're a team of book marketers, brand strategists, and launch specialists who've spent years learning what actually moves an author from unknown to discovered.

We don't run generic ad campaigns and call it marketing. We build a strategy around your book, your genre, and the readers who are already looking for something exactly like it. Every author we work with gets a plan built for their book specifically , not a template we reuse for everyone.

Whether you're releasing your first novel or your tenth, our job is the same: make sure the right readers find you, and keep finding you.

Trusted by indie authors, debut novelists, hybrid-published authors, and bestselling series writers across 12+ countries.

What we do

Four ways we get your book seen.

Book Marketing & Sales

Book Marketing & Sales

Grow your readership

Visibility without conversion is just noise. Anyone can get eyeballs on your cover, but eyeballs don't pay royalties, readers do. We build the systems that turn a casual browser into a buyer, a buyer into a reviewer, and a reviewer into someone who pre-orders your next release. This is the difference between a book that launches and a career that compounds.

  • Reader Targeting & FunnelsPrecision audience mapping that puts your book in front of readers who are already primed to buy it
  • Bestseller CampaignsCoordinated push strategies engineered to spike sales velocity and hit category rankings
  • Review GenerationEthical, sustainable systems that build genuine social proof at scale
  • Long-Term Brand BuildingMarketing that compounds book over book, not a one-off launch spike
Author Platform & Branding

Author Platform & Branding

Become recognizable

A book is a single transaction. An author is a relationship. Readers who know your name, recognize your voice, and trust your brand don't just buy once, they follow you across every future release. We build the platform behind the person, so your next launch starts with an audience already waiting.

  • Author Website DesignA polished digital home that converts visitors into readers and readers into fans
  • Social Media Profile SetupConsistent, professional presence across the platforms your readers actually use
  • Professional Media KitPress-ready assets that make journalists, bloggers, and event organizers say yes faster
  • Brand Voice DevelopmentA distinct, memorable identity that separates you from the noise of every other author in your genre
Amazon Launch Strategy

Amazon Launch Strategy

Own the launch week

Amazon's algorithm rewards momentum, not effort. A great book with a flat launch gets buried. A good book with real momentum climbs, and stays climbed. We engineer that momentum deliberately, before your launch date, through it, and long after the confetti settles.

  • Pre-Launch Audience BuildingWarming up buyers before day one so your launch opens with velocity, not silence
  • Launch Day CoordinationSynchronized purchases, reviews, and promotion timed to maximize algorithmic impact
  • Keyword & Category OptimizationData-driven metadata that gets you discovered by the readers actively searching for your book
  • Sustained Post-Launch StrategyMomentum tactics that keep you ranking long after launch week ends
PR & Media Outreach

PR & Media Outreach

Get talked about

Rankings tell readers your book sells. Media coverage tells them why it matters. That's the credibility that reviews and bestseller badges can't buy on their own, and it's what turns a book into a conversation. We get you in front of the tastemakers, hosts, and critics who shape what readers pick up next.

  • 500+ Media Contact RolodexDirect relationships with outlets, bloggers, and influencers actively covering your genre
  • Podcast & Blogger PitchingTailored pitches that land interviews and features, not form-letter rejections
  • Press Release WritingProfessionally crafted announcements built to get picked up, not filtered out
  • Interview CoordinationEnd-to-end scheduling and prep so every media appearance makes you look sharp

The Helitesmedia Standard

Our promise to every author we work with.

We only take on work we can genuinely move the needle on.

If we don't believe we can create measurable impact for your book, we'll tell you honestly instead of taking your money.

Your book and your ideas stay private.

Everything you share with us, manuscripts, strategy, sales data, is protected and never shared or reused elsewhere.

We build relationships, not transactions.

Most of our clients stay with us book after book, because we're invested in your career, not just your next launch.

Every campaign is built to be found, not just seen.

Visibility without strategy is noise. We design for the reader who's actually searching for a book like yours.

We work with you, not around you.

You'll always know what we're doing, why we're doing it, and how it's performing.

Strategy first, always.

No guesswork, no recycled templates. Every decision is backed by genre research, audience data, and what's actually working right now.

This is how we've helped launch 500+ books, and how we'll help launch yours.

Documented case studies

Real books. Real rankings.

Questions

Before you reach out.

Book marketing is everything that happens between finishing your manuscript and readers actually finding, buying, and recommending it. For independent authors it matters more than anywhere else, there's no publishing house pushing your title into stores or reserving reviewer attention for you. Marketing is what turns a finished book into a discovered one.

Yes, a large share of our work is with already-published books that never got the launch they deserved. We audit where your book currently sits on Amazon, in its category, and in reader awareness, then rebuild momentum around it. A book being 'old' isn't a problem; being invisible is.

The strategy overlaps but the levers are different. eBooks live and die by keyword optimisation, category placement, reader-funnel ads, and review velocity. Print benefits more from PR, physical placement, book club outreach, and long-form reviews. Most authors we work with get a combined plan that treats each format on its own terms.

Yes. We run BookTok and Bookstagram partnerships, podcast placements, and reader-influencer campaigns matched to your genre, not just anyone with a follower count. Every partner is chosen because their audience is already reading books like yours.

Most authors see meaningful movement in rankings and reviews inside the first 4–6 weeks of an active campaign. Full compounding results, the kind that carry from one book to the next, build over 3–6 months. We report weekly so you're never guessing.

Two things. First, we only take on authors we believe we can genuinely move the needle for, we've turned work away and we'll do it again. Second, we don't run templates. Every plan is built around your specific book, genre, and reader, not the last author we worked with.

Both. Roughly half our roster is debut or second-book authors. What matters is that the book is finished, professionally edited, and ready to be read, not how many books you've published before.
