Book Cover Critique: $125. I’ve watched key book wholesalers, chain store buyers, and producers of major TV shows pick up a book and make an instant decision on the book WITHOUT opening the book. How important is your book cover? Without a good one, your book won’t sell. I’ll help you to pass that First-Look Test. All for only $125. Each critique includes a 15-minute feedback session via telephone.

“As a publisher on a budget, I can confidently say that consulting with John on the cover of The Way of Leading People: Unlocking Your Integral Leadership Skills was the best money I spent promoting my book. John provided me with clear, concise feedback while making several valuable marketing suggestions.” — Tim Warneka, founder, Asogomi Publishing International

“This was the best investment I’ve made on my book.” — Sandra Lewis, publisher, My Health Record

Book Title Critique: $125. While a book title critique is included in the book cover critique, I’ve often had to tell people to go back to the drawing board completely because their title was all wrong. If you are looking to brand your book or want to create a bestseller, a book title critique will help you to create a bestselling book before you hire a cover designer (and spend up to $3,000 on a cover with a bad title). Each critique includes a 15-minute feedback session via telephone.

To get a professional and bestselling critique of your book title or book cover, email John Kremer at JohnKremer@bookmarket.com or call 575-751-3398.

What People Are Saying . . .

“For the past few years I’ve been asking John Kremer’s advice on handling the complexities of the book publishing business. Here are two examples where his advice and experience has proven invaluable. When sales of the hardback edition of one of my books stalled (even after receiving wonderful reviews), John suggested that I work with the publisher to repackage and revise the material in the form of a paperback. He explained exactly how I should pitch the idea and exactly what to say to the publisher. His strategy resulted not only in a second chance for the book but an additional advance! The revised edition quickly ate through both advances and I eventually received several royalty checks before the paperback finally went out of print. Then, more recently, when I found myself without an agent, I called John to ask him the best way to get an agent. He told me to call everyone who I knew who might know a good agent, especially people whom I had interviewed (for articles and such) who had bestselling books. I did as he suggested, separating my possible sources into “A”, “B”, and “C” depending on the likelihood that they’d have a good contact. By the time I had called everyone on the “A” list, the name of one agent had come up twice. I sent him an email describing myself and my work (with which he was familiar) and now I’m being represented by one of the top agents in the country. Thanks John!!!” — Geoff James, author of Success Secrets from Silicon Valley and The Tao of Programming

“My meeting with John Kremer was one of the most important factors contributing to the success of my self-published international bestseller, Seeds of Deception. At his advice, I found the ideal distributor, started my institute, made important changes in the book, and confidently set up the marketing plan that has sustained me for years. I recommend to everyone who asks me about writing or publishing a book to speak with John.” — Jeffrey Smith, author and publisher of Seeds of Deception: Exposing Industry and Government Lies about the Safety of the Genetically Engineered Foods You’re Eating

“John Kremer gave the most consistent excellent, practical advice. It was my first time to see or hear him. I thought he distinguished himself as someone who might be worth paying to consult with. You know that’s high praise out of my thrifty mouth!” — Lisa Reid, Ferguson-Carol Publishers

“After studying all the self-publishing books and putting together a business plan and marketing plan, I still had questions which could only be addressed by the voice of experience, such as how to time the whole process. The e-mail lists have been a terrific help in this respect. Nevertheless, sometimes there is nothing like talking one-on-one with an experienced individual. In addition, John offered several ideas for marketing which were specific to my type of book. I’m certain these will more than pay for the consultation. … For a new publisher like myself it was just what I needed to put all the pieces together. As for the more experienced publisher, I’ll bet he could give you a few ideas to spark your promotional efforts.” — Brian Scott, Systematic Publications and Media

“I love your book (1001 Ways) by the way (with the innovative marketing ideas). I am trying to get my money saved because many have said a consultation with you is worth every penny and more.” — Debra Cohen, author, Gems of Wisdom: Quotes to Ponder

“So thanks again. I guess I might as well say that I think that you’re an amazing guy. You have an uncanny ability to find out the needs of countless number of authors you have advised and counseled so that individually we feel you’ve tuned into us. Yet your ideas have a universal appeal. One of my areas of interest is in creativity. You certainly have a most unusual creative spirit. You come up with ideas so spontaneously and offer them so easily and warmly it’s like you’ve been thinking of the subject forever. And as I mentioned to you, I know how much you enjoy giving to others. Your laughter and good humor punctuate what you give.” — Marv

“John Kremer — He’s smart, creative and clever, and he knows how to help you sell books.” — Jon Bard, Editor, Children’s Writing Update!
