Trauma and Resilience Memoir

Job ID: 40628272

Budget: £300 – £600 GBP

I'm the author of a memoir launching independently via Amazon KDP in Autumn 2026. I'm looking for a book marketing strategist who understands how to grow reach, engagement, and book sales for independent authors.

My brand, visual identity, and content direction are already established. I create my own content, captions, and posting schedule. I'm looking for strategic guidance across:

Organic growth strategy
Audience growth and discoverability
Platform-specific marketing and content strategy
ARC, creator, influencer, and reader community outreach
Email marketing and reader retention
Paid advertising and launch campaigns
Recommendations on the most effective platforms, communities, and marketing channels to reach my target readership

Where appropriate, I am open to discussing execution support for specific areas such as ARC outreach, advertising campaigns, or launch activities.

About the book
It is a memoir based on true events exploring the long-term impact of family trauma, chronic illness, and motherhood. While child abuse forms part of the wider narrative, the memoir is not focused on the abuse itself. Rather, it explores the ripple effects of trauma—how it shapes relationships, identity, physical health, and family life across time.

At its heart, it is a story of resilience, healing, motherhood, faith, and the courage to face and work through trauma.

Current status

I've been building my author platform across TikTok, Instagram, and Pinterest for approximately two months. I currently post 1–2 times per week and am preparing to increase this to every 2–3 days as I move closer towards launch.

Current reach is still in the early stages, with TikTok posts typically receiving a few hundred views, limited engagement, and Pinterest impressions currently developing.

My current audience skews younger (18–25), while my intended readership is primarily women aged 25–55.

As an independent author managing the writing, creative development, and wider launch preparation, I am looking for specialist strategic support to develop the audience growth and marketing approach required for a successful Autumn 2026 launch.

What I need is a full marketing strategy: a clear roadmap for reaching the right audience, building genuine engagement, and preparing for launch.

I'm looking for someone who can think strategically, challenge assumptions, and build a long-term marketing plan grounded in audience insight. My initial focus is developing the right strategy and roadmap. Depending on the recommendations and requirements identified, I may explore additional execution support in specific areas where specialist input would add value.

I'm open to exploring different marketing channels and approaches, provided they align with the book, my author positioning, and the overall launch strategy.
