Connecting with Kathy
My email is Kathy@Bublish.com. Bublish (Bublish.com)
is the world’s first complete publishing platform with built-in marketing,
branding, and discoverability features.
So, you can write your book and publish, and you can promote it with the
technology we have created, called Book Bubbles. These “book bubbles” are kind of like social
director’s cuts for your book. You can
share an excerpt, there’s beautiful branding, and then you share the story
behind your story.
People buy your “why,” and book bubbles help you to share
the creative struggles that go into your work.
This is very effective, and people spend about 3.5 minutes on a book
bubble, which is a lot more than 7 seconds.
It was designed because I love bookstore browsing, and online, there was
nothing like that. So, we created a
browsing experience. You know how you
turn the book over, and you look at the acknowledgements and things like
that. It’s literally a social
moment. It’s a very quiet social moment
between the author and the reader.
That’s what I wanted to recreate on my end.
I also wanted to brand around the author because, to me,
it’s the author brand that breaks through the noise. Well, the author brand is about the author’s
“why,” and it’s about the journey, and what went into it, and the author’s
commitment. Also, we have anything that
you need to publish a book, including the editorial aspects, which is a big
area of expertise for us. We also offer
services that deal with cover design and interior layout. We also offer email and print distribution
throughout the world.
