data-contrast=\"auto\">Have you discovered a Bookstagram account that regularly features books from your genre, or found a blog whose topics are a perfect match for your nonfiction book? Then you probably want to send a message right away. But before you do, take some time to research the account.  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Look at the type of content the person publishes and which books they have featured so far. Many book bloggers also state on their websites whether they accept review copies and, if so, in what format. For social media accounts, it is worth taking a look at previous collaborations.  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Next, think about what you actually want to achieve with the collaboration. A review? A book feature? A joint live event? The more specific your idea is, the easier it will be to communicate it later.    <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Still looking for suitable contacts? Then start with our article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grin.com\/en\/magazin\/self-publishing\/book-marketing-collaborations-how-to-find-the-right-partners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cBook Marketing Collaborations: How to Find the Right Partners.\u201d<\/a> It explains how to find bloggers, book influencers, and other collaboration partners who are a good fit for your book.  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/p><h2>How to Write to Bloggers and Book Influencers <\/h2><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cHi, I\u2019ve written a book. Would you like to feature it?\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">That could certainly be a collaboration request \u2013 but it is not particularly personal. Bloggers and creators receive many requests like this. A message that is obviously identical to messages sent to numerous other accounts therefore does not make a particularly good first impression.  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Instead, show that you have genuinely taken the time to look at the person and their content. <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Why do you think your book is a good fit for this particular account?<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Perhaps they regularly feature Cozy Crime novels and your book belongs to exactly this genre. Or perhaps you have written a guide to sustainable travel and are contacting a travel creator who regularly covers this topic. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Your request does not need to be a novel, though. <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Short, personal, and specific<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> is usually the better approach. The most important information should be easy to identify: <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/p><ul><li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Who are you and what book have you written? <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/li><li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What is the title, genre or topic, and publication date? <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/li><li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What is the book about in a few sentences? <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/li><li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Who is the target audience? <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/li><li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Why is your book a good fit for this particular account? <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/li><li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What kind of collaboration would you like to propose? <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/li><li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Can you provide a digital or printed review copy? <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Depending on your book, you can also mention relevant tropes or describe it as \u201cfor fans of \u2026\u201d. This makes it easier for the person you are contacting to assess  <\/span><b>whether the book is a good fit for their community.<\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For example, your request could look like this:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5114880 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5114880\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-92d6825\" data-id=\"92d6825\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5e580a elementor-widget elementor-widget-grin-info-card-widget\" data-id=\"f5e580a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"grin-info-card-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-card\">\n    <div class=\"info-card__media\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"info-card__content content-block scheme-light\">\n        <h3 class=\"headline size-md\">Hi [Name], <\/h3>\n        \n        <div class=\"text-body size-md\">I\u2019ve been following your account for a while and noticed that you regularly feature Cozy Fantasy books.

Depending on the platform, book, and collaboration partner, many different formats are possible. <\/span><\/p><p>Book bloggers can, for example, publish a <b>review or detailed book feature<\/b>.<span data-contrast=\"auto\"> On Bookstagram and BookTok, additional formats such as unboxings, Reels, or videos are an option. Interviews, giveaways, joint live events, blog tours, readings, or mutual recommendations are also possible. <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Instead of simply asking whether someone would \u201clike to do something with your book,\u201d you can therefore make a specific suggestion right away. At the same time, remain open to other ideas: <\/span><b> the other person knows their community best<\/b> and may have an idea that works much better for their particular channel.<\/p><p>You can find more tips on presenting your book on Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms in our article<a href=\"https:\/\/www.grin.com\/en\/magazin\/self-publishing\/how-to-showcase-your-book-on-social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <b>\u201cHow to Showcase Your Book on Social Media.\u201d<\/b><\/a><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2>A Review Copy Is Not the Same as a Collaboration<\/h2><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When offering review copies, it is particularly important to keep your expectations realistic. <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Providing a book for free does not automatically mean that you can expect a positive review in return.<\/span><\/b><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A review should reflect the honest opinion of the person who read the book. Even if the review is more critical than you had hoped, it is important to handle the feedback professionally. You can find more detailed advice on responding to positive and negative reader feedback and using reviews for your book marketing in our article <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grin.com\/en\/magazin\/self-publishing\/handling-reviews-and-ratings-the-right-way-leveraging-reader-feedback-for-success\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Handling Reviews and Ratings the Right Way \u2013 Leveraging Reader Feedback for Success<\/b><\/a><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You should also distinguish between offering a review copy and agreeing to a specific promotional collaboration. Especially when money is involved, products or services are provided free of charge in connection with a publication, or other forms of compensation are agreed upon, additional requirements may apply. It is therefore even more important to clarify <\/span><b>what type of collaboration you are planning<\/b> beforehand.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2>Clear Agreements Prevent Misunderstandings<\/h2><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You have agreed on a collaboration? Great! Then you should briefly put the most important details in writing. These should include, above all, <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">the planned format, the platform, and an approximate publication date or time frame.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. Also clarify what you will provide: Does your collaboration partner need a printed copy, a PDF, the cover, photos, or additional information about the book?<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The more extensive the collaboration, the more important clear agreements become. For a joint live event, for example, you should establish when it will take place and who will promote it. For a giveaway, you should clarify the process and responsibilities. And for a paid collaboration, it should be clear exactly which services have been agreed upon. <\/span><\/p><p>Also remember <b>advertising disclosure requirements<\/b>.<span data-contrast=\"auto\">. Advertising in online media must be identifiable as advertising and distinguishable from editorial content. Whether and how disclosure is required depends on the specific type of collaboration. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If you are planning a collaboration, make sure to check the applicable requirements beforehand. <\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2>One Collaboration Can Lead to the Next<\/h2><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The post has been published, you have shared it, and the collaboration was successful \u2013 now what? <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Thank the person you worked with and show that you appreciate the collaboration.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> If appropriate for the platform and in line with your agreement, you can share or repost the content and engage with reactions from the community.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It is also worth looking at the results of the collaboration. Did the post generate many comments or questions about your book? Did people visit your account or start following you? Were there clicks to your book page or even sales? <\/span><b>Not every collaboration has the same goal<\/b>, so you should not evaluate its success based on a single metric alone.<\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Above all, do not immediately end the relationship once the post has been published. If the collaboration was enjoyable and beneficial for both sides, it could develop into a long-term relationship.<br \/>Perhaps your next book will also be a good fit for the community. Maybe you will organize a joint reading or live event later on. Or perhaps you will continue recommending each other\u2019s work. <\/span><\/p><p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Collaborations work particularly well when there is not just a follower count on the other side, but a person you genuinely enjoy working with.<\/span><\/b><\/p><p id=\"tw-target-text\" class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"text\" data-placeholder=\"\u00dcbersetzung\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwi51ZSLyeOWAxV1lMMKHQRbG4sQ3ewLegQIDxAW\" aria-label=\"\u00dcbersetzter Text: Want to get started right away?
