Book Marketing Specialist Needed – Powerful Opioid Recovery & Chronic Pain Memoir
I’m the author of a real, raw, and deeply personal non-fiction book about living with Fibromyalgia for 25 years while on high-dose morphine and fentanyl — and how I successfully tapered off both opioids on my own, without entering a facility. The book also covers the broader opioid crisis and is written to give hope to others who feel trapped: if I could do it, so can they.
This is a timely, emotionally compelling story that sits at the intersection of chronic illness, addiction/recovery, and patient empowerment — a topic with a massive, passionate audience.
What I need help with:
• Amazon listing optimization — keywords, categories, and description copy targeting chronic pain, Fibromyalgia, and opioid recovery readers
• Social media strategy and content for Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok (patient communities, recovery communities, chronic illness advocates)
• SEO — improving discoverability on Google, Goodreads, and book retail sites
• Outreach to relevant podcasts, blogs, chronic illness influencers, and recovery/wellness media for features and reviews
• Connecting with Fibromyalgia foundations, opioid recovery organizations, and patient advocacy groups who may promote the book
• Any additional tactics you recommend for this niche
Ideal candidate:
• Experience marketing books in health, memoir, recovery, or chronic illness niches
• Understands how to reach patient communities and advocacy networks online
• Can show past results (reviews gained, sales lift, media placements, community growth)
• Familiar with Amazon KDP, BookBub, Goodreads, or similar platforms
Budget: Under $500 (fixed price, project-based)
Deliverables:
A prioritized marketing plan plus execution of agreed-upon tasks within scope and budget.
When applying, please share an example of a health, memoir, or recovery book you’ve marketed and the results you achieved. This story deserves to reach the people who need it — looking forward to working with someone who gets that.
