Good stuff and good people.

I write fantasy and science fiction and have published a number of titles. I've used BooksGoSocial in several capacities over the past 8 years. Their cover design services are excellent and affordable. I've also used them for ads, consulting, and finding reviewers. The latter included posting my books on NetGalley and joining their (free) groups on Facebook. BGS gives high value for the money, and I can happily recommend them,

I've used other book promotion companies but have always returned to BGS - because they get results. Also, Laurence and staff are approachable and ethical (and not all book marketeers are!). The current 2 month Facebook ads BGS are handling for me are producing ROI, which is the name of the game. Recommended.

Books Go Social is a great company dedicated to the promotion of stories and writers. I've used their services since 2019, and if you go on their website you'll find a video review I posted there. Remember, these are people, not algorithms, they'll work for you, while an algorithm won't.

I have known Lawrence and books go social for several years now. And I have been very pleased with the work he has done and for the efforts he has put out for not only my works, but also others. I find him honest and a hard worker who does exactly what he said he was going to do. I highly recommend him to other authors and publishers, etc. that wish to use his services.

I’ve now used Books Go Social twice to format and launch my Prime Time Travelers series, and I plan to keep coming back. What really sets them apart is the personal, one-on-one approach. I’m admittedly a bit particular about details like icons, chapter headings, and fonts, and the team was fast, patient, and professional throughout the entire process. Beyond formatting, they also refined my blurb, categories, and launch setup, drawing on their deep knowledge of the self-publishing world to help my books reach the widest possible audience. I highly recommend them to any independent author looking for both expertise and genuine support. Neil Laird Emmy and BAFTA-nominated filmmaker and author

Working with BGS was a total game-changer. From the very first consultation with Tanja, it was clear they understood not just the logistics of launching a book, but also the levers that make a launch successful. Laurence's team brought expert-level guidance, a calm and confident presence along the way. We are working together with ads and I consider them part of my launch team

I hoped to make a splash with my latest book and hired BGS to coordinate my new release. They signed me up for Netgalley, Facebook, and Amazon ads. I met with them once, and that was it. Everything seemed to disappear down a black hole. Net Galley was a disaster, as were the Amazon ads. After I talked to them during the initial meeting, I never heard from them unless I contacted them for an update. I have no idea if they adjusted ad targeting or made changes to get better sales, depending on the data they got. I feel like I threw away $650 I'd saved for a year to do something I could probably do better. I've done Facebook and Amazon ads. I was hoping their expertise would take me to the next level. Instead, I sank. Their communication is so bad that I have to ask them when I need to top off my ad account. They can't be bothered to tell you when the money's run out. ***UPDATE*** I had a productive call with Tanja about my concerns, and she was receptive and willing to work with me on finding solutions, developing a new plan that better addresses my books specifically, and giving me more feedback on how the ads are doing. ***UPDATE*** I've been working with Laurence, the founder of BGS. His and his team's personal attention makes me feel they're committed to making the ad profitable. We went through everything on my side: keywords, categories, and blurb, to make sure it was correct. He walked me through how to read the Facebook ad reports and said the response was good. He suggested a price point change.
