Amazon Book Ads for authors in Sydney

Campaign Structure, Approved Budgets and Retailer Reporting

We structure campaigns around your goals, testing keywords, categories and comparable titles in separate campaigns so it is clear what is working. Bids and targets are adjusted as data comes in, and poor performers are paused rather than left to spend.

Ad spend is paid by you to Amazon and is separate from our fees. We only spend within the budget you approve, and reports come from Amazon's own data, so you can see exactly where the money went and what it produced.

Here is what you gain when your book is handled by a specialist marketing team at Potter Publishers, working alongside editors, designers and publishing specialists under one roof.

LIVE CHAT

A plan, not guesswork

We start with your goals, your genre and your budget, then focus on the channels where your readers actually discover books.

Strong foundations first

Retailer listings, author pages and early reviews are prepared before spending on advertising, so every dollar works harder.

Measured results

Campaigns are tracked and reviewed, so you can see what is working and adjust instead of repeating what is not.

Beyond launch week

Good marketing continues after release, with promotions, seasonal campaigns and series planning that keep your book visible.

Australia

Publishing details for Sydney authors

Spelling and style

We edit and proofread in Australian English by default for Australian authors (colour, organise, travelled), and can switch to US or UK spelling if your book targets those readers.

ISBNs

In Australia, ISBNs are issued by Thorpe-Bowker. We help you buy and register them in your own name or your imprint's, so you are the publisher of record.

Legal deposit

Australian legal deposit generally requires published books to be deposited with the National Library of Australia and the relevant state library. We include this in your publishing checklist. For New South Wales authors, the state library is the State Library of New South Wales.

Pricing

Price factors and timeline

Quotes for Australian authors are confirmed in writing, including the currency, before any work begins. The main price factors are:
