Fauzia Burke
My name is Fauzia Burke, and I am a book marketing expert and pioneer of online book publicity. As the founder and president of FSB Associates, I have spent more than 25 years publicizing books by bestselling authors such as Alan Alda, Arianna Huffington, Deepak Chopra, Sonya Renee Taylor, Ken Blanchard, Charles Spencer, as well as many first-time authors. Before starting my own company, I worked at Henry Holt and John Wiley.
Together with my husband, John Burke, I launched the first author website ever on the Web for Sue Grafton, which is now on its fifth redesign. After decades of building author websites, in 2019, John and I co-founded Pub Site, a DIY website platform used by authors like Tom Clancy, Robin Cook, and hundreds more.
I also help guide authors on their book marketing journey via a "power hour." Whether you’re a first-time author overwhelmed by the idea of building a brand or an experienced author wanting to take your marketing and publicity to the next level, I can help. I'm the author of Online Marketing for Busy Authors, and am based in San Diego, CA.
I offer practical, doable book marketing advice and work with authors at all stages of their book publishing journey..png)

“In her book, Burke takes authors through the process of identifying their unique personal brand, defining their audience, clarifying their aspirations and goals, and setting priorities. Once that foundation is established, she walks them through the process of developing a personalized, sustainable long-term online marketing plan. She offers advice on designing a successful website, building a mailing list of superfans, blogging, creating an engagement strategy for social media and much more.” – Forbes
“The book is filled with practical advice from a roster of experts that reads like a Who’s Who of publishing—S&S’s Judith Curr, Flatiron’s Bob Miller, and Crown’s Patty Berg. Burke places them all into a comprehensive and easy-to-follow narrative that aims to help prospective as well as seasoned authors manage their marketing plans and reach their goals.” – Publishers Weekly
“This is a useful guide for any authors wondering how to promote themselves online…. It would be a worthwhile volume for libraries that have an active writing community among their patrons, especially as it is specific to books.” – Library Journal
