Connecting with Kathy
My email is Kathy@Bublish.com. Bublish (Bublish.com) is the world’s first complete publishing platform with built-in marketing, branding, and discoverability features. So, you can write your book and publish, and you can promote it with the technology we have created, called Book Bubbles. These “book bubbles” are kind of like social director’s cuts for your book. You can share an excerpt, there’s beautiful branding, and then you share the story behind your story.
People buy your “why,” and book bubbles help you to share the creative struggles that go into your work. This is very effective, and people spend about 3.5 minutes on a book bubble, which is a lot more than 7 seconds. It was designed because I love bookstore browsing, and online, there was nothing like that. So, we created a browsing experience. You know how you turn the book over, and you look at the acknowledgements and things like that. It’s literally a social moment. It’s a very quiet social moment between the author and the reader. That’s what I wanted to recreate on my end.
I also wanted to brand around the author because, to me, it’s the author brand that breaks through the noise. Well, the author brand is about the author’s “why,” and it’s about the journey, and what went into it, and the author’s commitment. Also, we have anything that you need to publish a book, including the editorial aspects, which is a big area of expertise for us. We also offer services that deal with cover design and interior layout. We also offer email and print distribution throughout the world.
