Final Score

I need a book marketer to promote my novel 'Final Score', ideally in time for Christmas. I self published this 240 page novel a few years ago and it received a number of glowing reviews (see below). However, I have never promoted it and am looking for a freelance book marketer to market it and do it justice. It is currently on Amazon as available second hand (not new) at: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Final-Score-Life-Sports-Addict/dp/0993081134
It requires someone to:
1) Work with me to develop a marketing story and promotional campaign
2) Set it up for new book sales again on Amazon and other book sale websites
3) Promote it with paid digital adverts on relevant digital sites
4) Promote it on social media
5) Promote it to book shops, football fan clubs and sites, other relevant sports loving communities

‘Final Score’ Synopsis

‘Final Score’ is the story of a North London, half Jewish, Spurs supporting, Fantasy Football manager and sports addict who has his day of reckoning on Sunday May 13th, 2012. It is the day of the final fixtures of the Football Premier League, the Spanish Motor Racing Grand Prix, the US PGA final round of golf and the fourth day of the first England v West Indies Test Match. It is also the day that sees the conclusion of the West Herts under 11’s soccer league and his mother's 80th birthday celebration. Then, to cap it all his ex-wife calls to let him know that his daughter’s marriage is over, that she is in bits and she needs him, she really needs him, now!

David spends the day in a desperate attempt to balance his conflicting priorities and as 'Super Sunday' unfolds David begins to realise the effect that his sports addiction is having on his family and those he loves. The stress of the day eventually catches up with him and he is whisked off to hospital with a potentially life threatening heart arrhythmia and the need to reassess what is most important to him.

Sports addiction is an issue for many people and one that they will often not be aware of. It is one that could be significantly affecting their relationships with those around them. Final Score is mean't not only as a humorous insight into the condition but also a trigger to aid recognition of the condition and to help change the lives of those impacted by this growing problem.

Quotes about the book include:
'You don't have to play sport to be a sports' addict. Ivor Eisenstadt's timely novel details a momentous day in the life of David, an 'active spectator' so immersed in the thrills, stories and unpredictability of sport that it takes over his life and he is unable to control his behaviour. If you doubt this constitutes a true addiction, 'Final Score' will set you straight. A captivating and thought provoking read.'
PHIL HAMMOND, NHS doctor, writer and broadcaster

"Wow! If you thought sport was dictating your life, read this. Sharply funny and superbly observed with a real sting in the tail."
TONY FRANCIS, author, sports writer, TV producer and presenter

"A football lover's delight, and an intriguing look at what it is to be a male today."
RICHARD SHEEHAN, writer and copy-editor of over 170 novels

5.0 out of 5 stars Both thought provoking and hilarious

“ Is it really an addiction? When did it start? How did it come about? Am I to blame? Why me and not others?“
What a brilliant read! This book manages to capture David’s personality and wit whilst being very informative! Ivor Eisenstadt managed to make me both laugh out loud and be panicked on the edge of my seat throughout this book!
I thought I was addicted to sport but this book has certainly put my own behaviour in perspective!
A brilliant read, that makes you both laugh and think! I cannot recommend enough!
