Payment & VerificationStop building outreach lists with no reason behind them.
This planner helps you define who belongs on the list, why they may care about the book, what message should lead, and what happens after the first outreach attempt.
Good outreach starts with fit, not volume.
The planner helps you think through who should hear about the book, why the book may matter to them, what to say, and how to keep the process organized.
Reader Fit
Clarify the types of readers, professionals, communities, or audiences who have a credible reason to care about the book.
Reviewer Targets
Identify reviewers whose genre, subject interests, audience, or recent coverage actually connect with your book.
Reader Communities
Map book clubs, Goodreads spaces, genre communities, interest groups, newsletters, and other reader environments worth exploring.
Outreach Angles
Work out why this specific person, platform, community, or organization might care instead of sending the same pitch everywhere.
Outreach Message
Shape a clearer introduction around the book, its relevance, the recipient, and the opportunity you are actually proposing.
Follow Up Tracking
Track who was contacted, when the message was sent, what happened, and whether a follow up or next action is needed.
Reader outreach can take different forms depending on the book.
Goodreads may matter for some books. For others, stronger opportunities may exist in completely different places.
Book Clubs & Communities
Reader groups, genre communities, book clubs, Goodreads spaces, newsletters, online communities, and other places where readers gather.
Reviewers & Bloggers
Reviewers, bloggers, book websites, creators, newsletters, and platforms whose recent work suggests a genuine connection to the book.
Podcasts & Media
Shows, publications, interview platforms, and media channels whose recent topics align with the questions, themes, or expertise behind the book.
Associations & Organizations
Professional groups, nonprofits, membership organizations, companies, training communities, and other organizations where the book may have practical relevance.
Institutional Opportunities
Schools, programs, clinical environments, ministries, companies, training programs, or other settings where the book may function as a useful resource.
Book Led Business Opportunities
Speaking, workshops, consulting, training, partnerships, courses, founder conversations, and other opportunities where the book supports a wider professional goal.

Goodreads & Reader Outreach Planner
A self guided PDF for authors who want to organize reader outreach, target research, messaging, and follow up before investing in a larger campaign.

Payment & VerificationAsk why each prospect belongs there.
A useful outreach list is not simply a collection of names and email addresses. Each target should have a credible connection to the book.
Relevance
Does the recipient already engage with the subject, genre, problem, audience, or conversation connected to the book?
Recent Activity
Is the podcast, community, reviewer, publication, or organization still active enough for outreach to make sense?
Specific Angle
Can you explain why this book fits this particular prospect without relying on generic marketing language?
Useful Outcome
What would success look like here: a review, interview, discussion, placement, partnership, adoption, referral, or something else?
The pitch should sound like it was written for the recipient.
The planner helps you move away from copy pasted outreach by thinking through what makes the book relevant to each prospect.
Start With Them
Identify the recent episode, article, audience, program, community, or subject that creates a real connection.
Connect The Book
Explain why the book belongs in that conversation rather than simply describing what the book is about.
Make The Ask Clear
Be clear whether you are proposing an interview, review, book club discussion, resource consideration, partnership, placement, or another opportunity.
The planner helps you organize outreach. It does not do the prospect research for you.
That distinction matters. The $29 planner gives you the structure. BBC custom work researches real prospects, evaluates their fit, prepares specific pitches, sends outreach, and tracks responses according to the agreed campaign scope.
