About Twin Peaks Press and Services  

Twin Peaks Press is a national PR, mailing list, marketing, book publishing, promotion, self publishers' resource, publishers' services and consulting company established in 1982.  Although located on Main Street in Vancouver, Washington (suburb of Portland) for many years, we've mainly served self publishers and business owners throughout the rest of the U.S. and Canada. With a broad online presence also, our first website went up in the early days of the Internet in teh mid 1990s.  We're experts on Internet and online marketing too!  Over the years we've given workshops and presented at  writers', publishers' and entrepreneurs' conferences. 

In the past we've organized thousands of cooperative mailings for publishers and producers.

We published the Twin Peaks television show catalog of products (we came along first though!) and international newsletter after being inundated with calls on our toll-free line by Twin Peaks fans and then received a lot of national media attention.  We definitely took advantage of the situation!

We've been written up in hundreds of newspapers and other publications, and featured many times -- both radio and television.

What YOU Can Do TODAY - Right NOW - to Sell More Books if you're an offline publisher! Our approach to Internet marketing for ebooks, reports, manuals and courses is vastly different.

Just 2 quick suggestions!

After 30 years consulting, publishing, promoting, marketing and talking with other publishers, I know what  works and what doesn't when it comes to selling books! Hundreds have reported back to me over the years, besides our many years of testing with our own non-fiction titles. This is what I suggest.  Assuming you have at least one non-fiction title published or soon to be published, then  consider using these 2 marketing strategies as soon as possible. But also know this is general advice and I can't guarantee your results.  I don't know your titles or anything about your books. Keep this in mind. 

#1. Mail  your flier to our list of 1000 or so high budget public libraries. (Budgets of $100,000  up.) You can rent the list, then mail to the whole list or a few at a time.  At 9 cents per label the cost to rent the list is about $90. If your book has an index, that's good!  Librarians love indexes. These high budget libraries order for all their branches as well. Make sure you have a good-looking flier, you'll be competing with other fliers. Librarians are looking for niches also. Occasionally they send us a list of niche areas they're looking for that no one has written a book about!

#2. Mail  your press release to our list of 1524 daily newspapers.  Cost about $170. Why?  This CAN result in direct sales for you (not a guarantee).  Editors will write up an item or article from your release (they rarely ever copy a release.)  Your release will  have access to thousands of people through these high circulation newspapers and  write you or your title up.  Make sure you have phone numbers and website addresses in the body of the release. You do have a press release I hope. You must have a good release. Make it timeless so you can use the same release forever.  For years we've used press releases to generate thousands of dollars in sales for our own titles.  We've written thousands of releases in AP style for ourselves and others.  Make sure your release is in AP style or it'll be tossed out. If you mail a FLIER to the newspapers or any publication, they WILL toss it out.  Some publishers still seem not to know this. Editors are looking for professional looking press releases.  You can do it or we can do it for you.  If you have a release  and it's without opinion and follows the usual press release procedure then it should be okay.  Remember, if it's right you can use this release forever.  Use it for online promotion too!  See our press release pages for fees for press releases, for the wire service and for online distribution.

Okay.  That's a start.  See our many other articles and services to help you sell more books! And don't forget to sign up for my Tips for Publishers and Biz Hotline.  I'm always looking for more ways to help save you money or sell books and ebooks or other products or services! Happy publishing! --- Helen Hecker
