Content marketing for the literary community

I help the literary community create and execute a content strategy for their website, newsletter, and social media, so they can gain confidence in and control over building their audience and telling their stories.

You’re an author, bookseller, book festival organizer, literary non-profit director, or librarian.

You know you need to connect with your audience and build relationships to sell more books, increase attendance, or gain more donations.

But when it comes to marketing, you have no idea where to begin.

You know you should post on social media, but it seems very daunting. Or start a newsletter, but you have no idea what to write. Or drive traffic to your website, but you don’t know how to build one. Or create content that will attract your audience, but how do you do that?

This is where I can help. Because I’ve been there and done it before.

Hi! I’m Jessica A. Kent.

I’ve spent over 20 years in the literary community — published author, bookseller, Boston Book Festival director, lit mag staff, library assistant, and founder of Literary Boston.

I’ve also spent over 10 years in marketing creating content strategies, overseeing websites, blogs, and social media, and doing lots and lots of copywriting!

The literary community needs great content strategies to tell their story to the world — and I can help.
