Laurence and his team came to my rescue a few weeks ago and fixed something on my cover for me, even though they had not designed it. Then they designed some awesome A+ content to go with it. BGS really cares about authors and their books. They are responsive, diligent, and a great value. Give them a try!

Advertising with BGS is one of the best…
Advertising with BGS is one of the best promotion vehicles I have ever used. Used numerous times and will keep going back for more services. Lawrence and his staff are helpful and always professional. If you haven't tried BGS, you NEED to!

First Book Launch
I researched support options before publishing my first novel, and BooksGoSocial proved an excellent choice for me. They were steady, professional, and easy to work with from start to finish.
They built my WordPress author site using the photos and information I provided, and the result was clean and polished. They also helped refine my book cover—shaping it into a professional design that fit the tone of my novel.
They handled the KDP upload process for me as well—description, keywords, categories, and all the behind-the-scenes details that can feel overwhelming the first time through. Any time I had a question, they responded quickly and clearly, even after the main project was finished.
I appreciated their professionalism enough to thank the BooksGoSocial team in the acknowledgments of The Signal Tree. Their support helped me move confidently from a finished manuscript to a published book.
I continue to enjoy their newsletter, which regularly shares helpful insights for indie authors, and I look forward to working with them again on my next novel.

Straightforward & Helpful
Having used several BGS services and attended the International Dublin Writers' Festival, I've found them to be very straightforward and helpful.

Laurence has two great things going for him
Laurence has two great things going for him: (1) He knows the book market and (2) his customer service is easily the best I have ever experienced. He answers emails very quickly and he always has exactly the right advice about what to do when he does so. I have my ticket for his next gig in Trinity College Dublin (International Dublin Writers' Festival) on the 15th August. I got a lot of value from last year's festival, and I expect the same from this one.

I have used BooksGoSocial for 10 years
I have used BooksGoSocial for 10 years. I recommend their social media advertising. Their Facebook ads for my Amazon book gave it renewed life. I was amazed at how many new readers bought my book and left reviews. They quickly respond to emails with questions and concerns. They care about their authors and keep them up-to-date with a newsletter and online courses.

Why BGS are the company for me
There are companies out there that offer author services with the only aim of making themselves money, and then there is BooksGoSocial whose drive (I believe) is to help authors.
With authors amongst their staff, BGS understand not only what authors need, but the uphill struggle they face. BGS offers daily free advice as well as their paid-for services.
I think I have used just about every one of their services and can recommend all of them, especially their excellent Facebook ads and their stacked promotions.
Their free-to-enter monthly competitions are great, and I was over the moon when I won one. But for me, probably the thing I am most grateful for is the opportunity to pitch through them… not only to agents but to film producers.
I was so lucky to be picked as one of the authors who pitched to Ken Atchity at one of BGS annual conferences. After initial interest and several emails following our live video chat (done in front of the conference), Ken decided my book wasn’t quite the right fit for him. But what an opportunity! I will always be grateful to BGS for how they help to get authors noticed.
I have been using BGS services since 2017 when I paid for my first Twitter advert! Gosh, so long ago! I hope to carry on letting them help me along my rocky road for many more years.
This is a company of real people, polite, thoughtful, helpful, who understand how I feel and what I need, and (I believe) their ultimate goal is to help as many authors as they can to succeed. If you haven’t guessed… I highly recommend them.
