What We Do
Nine specialties. Every one built for how books actually get found today.
Northern Page runs publicity, reviews, web presence, pitching, screen development, audio, and ongoing marketing under one studio — each specialty aimed in the same direction, so nothing gets lost between vendors.
Publicity & Credibility
Get covered. Get reviewed.
Press & Publicity
Press & Publicity is the ongoing work of putting your book, and you as its author, in front of the people who decide what readers hear about next — journalists, bloggers, industry columnists, and outlets covering your genre. That means building a media list suited to your book specifically, drafting a press release and pitch angles that give an editor a reason to say yes, and following up until you get a real answer.
Why it matters — For an author, this is often the difference between a book that quietly exists and one that becomes part of a conversation. Coverage compounds: a single feature or mention can be cited by later reviewers, shared by readers, and referenced in future pitches, which is why we treat press as a foundation to build on rather than a one-time announcement.
Critic's Book Reviews & Amazon Book Reviews
This service covers two related but distinct kinds of credibility: placement with recognized book critics and reviewers who publish editorial coverage, and a legitimate strategy for growing organic reviews on Amazon, where most readers make their final buying decision. We coordinate advance reader copies, submission timing, and outreach so both tracks move together.
Why it matters — Readers rarely buy a book on the strength of the author's own description alone; they look for outside confirmation first. A body of honest reviews, paired with a critic's endorsement, gives a hesitant reader the confidence to click "buy," and gives you material you can legitimately reference in every pitch that follows.
Digital Presence & Pitching
Be found. Be ready to submit.
Author Websites — Conquer the Web
Your author website is the one piece of digital real estate you fully control — not rented from a social platform, not buried in someone else's algorithm. We design and build a site structured around discovery: clear book pages, a bio that positions you correctly, press and media pages ready for a journalist to lift from, and the SEO fundamentals that let search engines actually find you.
Why it matters — Every other service on this page eventually points somewhere: a press mention, a podcast appearance, a review, an agent's search of your name. A strong website is where that traffic lands and converts — whether "converts" means a book sale, a speaking inquiry, or a producer's phone call. Without it, you're sending people to a dead end.
Query Letters, Synopses & Pitch Packages
Agents and acquiring editors read hundreds of submissions a month, most of them declined on the query letter alone. We write and revise your query letter, short and long synopses, and full submission packages to match the format, tone, and expectations traditional publishing actually runs on — not generic templates.
Why it matters — A manuscript's quality doesn't matter if the pitch never gets past the first paragraph. This service exists to remove that bottleneck, so your book is judged on its own merits rather than filtered out by an avoidable framing mistake before anyone reaches the actual writing.
Screen & Story
From the page to the screen.
Screen & Film Development
We develop the materials that make a book legible to the film and television industry — adaptation treatments, pitch decks, and comparable-title positioning — and make direct introductions to producers who are actively looking for source material to option.
Why it matters — Very few authors have existing relationships in the film industry, and most adaptation opportunities never reach a book simply because no one with the right contacts ever saw it. This service closes that gap, giving a book with real screen potential an actual channel into the rooms where option and development decisions get made.
Book Trailers
We produce a cinematic trailer built around your story's tone and central tension — concept, script, visuals, and sound — formatted to work across social platforms, your website, retailer pages, and press or pitch materials.
Why it matters — A trailer does something a description can't: it lets a potential reader feel the book in thirty seconds, which is often enough to turn scrolling into buying. It also gives you a shareable asset that keeps working long after a launch date, on every channel where video outperforms text.

Ongoing Marketing & Media
Momentum that outlasts launch week.
Social Media Management
We plan and manage an ongoing content calendar across your author platforms, paired with targeted ad boosting to put that content in front of readers likely to actually care about your genre — not just your existing followers.
Why it matters — Momentum is the hardest thing for an author to sustain alone, especially between releases. This service keeps your presence active and growing in the background, so when your next book, review, or press mention lands, there's already an audience paying attention instead of a dormant profile you have to wake back up.
Podcast Placement & Radio Interviews
We book you onto podcasts and radio programs matched to your genre and audience, and prepare you with talking points and interview framing so each appearance actually represents the book well.
Why it matters — An interview builds a kind of trust a press release can't: listeners hear you directly, in your own words, for twenty or forty minutes — a far deeper introduction than a headline. It's also one of the most durable assets you can create; a good interview keeps finding new listeners years after it airs.
Audiobook Production & Streaming
We handle the audiobook end to end — narrator casting or coaching for author narration, professional recording and mastering, and distribution across Audible, Apple Books, Spotify, and the major streaming platforms — then position the release so it is discoverable, not just available.
Why it matters — Audio is the fastest-growing way people take in books, and it reaches an audience that rarely sits down with print: commuters, multitaskers, and listeners who follow authors the way they follow podcasts. A well-produced, well-placed audiobook opens a second market for the same story — and often a second stream of income — without a single word rewritten.
