What Happens in the Atmosphere Press Publication Strategy Call?

In our publication strategy call, we walk you through your publicity plan step by step—reviewing your deliverables, answering your questions, and helping you understand how to use each element to support your book’s launch and long-term visibility!

What Is the Publication Strategy Call?

At Atmosphere Press, the publication strategy call is your first dedicated conversation with our publicity team, focused specifically on marketing and promotion.

Rather than a general overview, this is a working session. We guide you through your publicity package in detail so you understand what’s included, what’s already in progress, what’s coming next, and how each element supports your book’s success.

Depending on your publishing tier, this may include:

➜ One pre-publication strategy call

➜ Both a pre- and post-publication call for continued support

The goal of the strategy call is simple: clarity. By the end of the call, you should feel grounded in the process—not guessing what happens next!

What We Cover During Your Strategy Call

We structure the conversation around your specific book and publicity plan. Typically, we’ll walk through:

✦ Reviews and editorial coverage (what’s been submitted and where)

✦ Awards submissions and expected timelines

✦ Promotional materials, such as your one-sheet

✦ Newsletter features and announcements

✦ Campaign elements, like NetGalley or advertising (if included)

✦ Your marketing plan, including how to apply it in real-world promotion

We’ll also talk through practical areas authors often have questions about, including:

✧ Social media strategy

✧ Bookstore outreach

✧ Events, signings, or local promotion

✧ Positioning your book for the right audience

Everything is tailored to your goals, your genre, and your comfort level.

A Collaborative, Author-First Conversation

Just as important as what we cover is how the call feels.

We know many authors come into this stage feeling unsure where to start, overwhelmed by marketing expectations, and/or concerned they’re “behind” or missing something.

That’s completely normal!

Our role is not to test your preparedness—it’s to meet you where you are. We guide the conversation, answer questions honestly, and help you translate your ideas into a workable plan.

After walking through your materials, we open the floor so you can ask anything—from big-picture strategy to very specific next steps.

What Happens After Your Publication Strategy Call

The strategy call isn’t a one-time checkpoint—it’s the start of an ongoing working relationship.

After the call, you can expect:

➜ Clear next steps based on your publicity plan

➜ Continued execution of your deliverables

➜ Direct access to our team for follow-up questions

If your package includes additional calls, we’ll also outline when the next check-in will happen and what it will focus on.

In the meantime, we remain available by email to support you as new questions or opportunities arise!
