From the Live Workshop

In Coral’s Own Words

“BookBub ads put your books in front of millions of already avid readers. Low cost, high control. There is a serious level of control when it comes to BookBub ads — that’s why I like them as much as I do.”

— Coral Hart, live teaching

“BookBub has an audience of roughly fifteen million readers who opted in by genre. You are never served something that isn’t what you already choose to read. These buyers are serious buyers.”

— Coral Hart, live teaching

Excerpted from a live teaching session inside Plotprose Academy.
