Author Marketing • Creative • Advertising

Your books deserve more than occasional marketing.

Smarter advertising. Stronger creative. A more intentional marketing strategy.

I'm Jay Vizcara, a marketing partner for authors who want to connect their social media, book advertising, and creative into a more consistent approach to reaching readers.

From the content your audience sees to the ads promoting your books, I help bring your marketing efforts together — so you can spend more time writing and less time trying to figure out what to do next.

Let's talk about your books, your goals, and what's next for your marketing.

The Challenge

Writing the book is one thing. Marketing it is another.

Between writing the next book, keeping readers engaged, planning launches, and managing advertising, marketing can quickly become another full-time job.

The challenge isn't always doing more. Sometimes it's knowing what deserves your attention, what your audience responds to, and how your different marketing efforts can work together.

01

Inconsistent visibility

Your books need a consistent presence, but creating content week after week can compete with the time you need to write.

02

Creative that stops working

Finding new angles, hooks, and ways to present a book takes more than repeatedly using the same creative.

03

Marketing without a clear direction

Social media, paid campaigns, and launches can become disconnected when they're not guided by a shared strategy.

Your marketing should have a direction — not just a posting schedule.

A More Connected Approach

Make every part of your marketing work toward a clearer goal.

I approach author marketing as a connected system. The content you publish, the creative you test, and the campaigns you run should all support your broader marketing priorities.

That means starting with your books, your readers, and your goals — then developing a practical plan for what to create, where to promote it, and how to evaluate what's working.

  1. 01

    Understand

    Start with your catalogue, readership, current marketing, and business goals. Identify the opportunities and challenges that deserve attention.

  2. 02

    Create

    Develop content, advertising concepts, hooks, and creative variations that reflect your books and the readers you're trying to reach.

  3. 03

    Test and Refine

    Review campaign performance and content insights, identify useful patterns, and make informed adjustments based on the available data.

Results depend on factors including the books, pricing, audience, advertising budget, retailer experience, and available tracking.

Selected Creative Work

Every book has its own hook. Finding it is part of the work.

Book advertising is more than putting a cover in front of an audience. Creative decisions influence how a story is introduced, which details are emphasized, and what might encourage a reader to learn more.

Explore selected creative examples and the thinking behind different approaches.

A Little About Me

A marketing partner who cares about the thinking behind the creative.

I'm Jay Vizcara. I work with authors who want to approach their marketing with more intention.

My work brings together creative development, social media management, and paid advertising. I enjoy the process of understanding a book, exploring the angles that could resonate with its intended readers, and developing marketing that has a clear purpose.

I believe authors deserve more than a stream of disconnected posts or campaigns that run without a plan. They deserve a thoughtful partner who understands their goals, communicates clearly, and uses available data to make better-informed decisions.

My approach combines creative thinking with structured testing, practical execution, and ongoing refinement.

The goal isn't to make marketing more complicated. It's to make it more intentional.
