What to Expect

Library outreach focuses on discovery and visibility among professional book buyers.

Because the New Shelves librarian list is entirely opt-in and built through long-term industry relationships, engagement remains consistently strong. 

Typical campaign performance includes:

  • Email open rates: 14% – 36%
  • Average interaction: approximately 1200 campaign wide clicks
  • Average clicks per featured title: typically 30–50*
    *Observed range per title: 4 – 312 clicks, depending on genre and interest

Results vary depending on category, timing, and subject matter, but these mailings consistently introduce books to librarians actively evaluating titles for their collections.

 

Is This Program Right for Your Book?

Library outreach tends to work best for books that are widely available through standard library ordering channels.

Strong candidates include books that:

  • Are available through Ingram or other wholesalers

  • Have professional editing and cover design

  • Fit public library collections (fiction or nonfiction)

  • Have clear genre or subject positioning

If your book is professionally published and available through library ordering systems, this program can help introduce it to librarians who are actively selecting books for their communities.
