Bublish has several built-in marketing tools, including Book Bubbles. What are Book Bubbles? They are beautifully designed book excerpts enriched with your author insights and links to your book’s sales pages at major online retailers. Click on the image below to experience a live Book Bubble. You can also follow us on X @BublishMe where you’ll see Book Bubbles shared on an ongoing basis. And if you have a Bublish account, you can also visit the Bubble Stream via the link in the Marketing Studio.
Once you publish and share a Book Bubble on social media, we automatically enroll it in our weekly Weekend Reader Marathon, a popular three-day marketing event to showcase the latest Book Bubbles. If you’re new to Bublish, here’s how the event works:
1. Create a Book Bubble on your Bublish dashboard by 3pm ET on Thursday each week. If you don’t have an account, get started for free here.
2. The team at Bublish will tease and hashtag your Book Bubble for our Weekend Reader Marathon and put it in front of nearly 600,000 readers around the world.
3. Readers can enjoy your Book Bubble(s) in their social stream and go directly to your book’s product page at major online retailers. Currently, Bublish works with Amazon, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Google Books, Bookshop, and Kobo.
4. Check out reader engagement with your Book Bubbles via the metrics feature on your Bublish dashboard. You can also see which retailer that readers visited after reading your Book Bubble.

Because Bublish’s Weekend Reader Marathon has become so popular and there are so many Book Bubbles created each week, we do have a two rules:
1. We can only share one Book Bubble per book, per week.
2. If you have multiple books on Bublish, we can share one Book Bubble from up to three books. If you have more than three books on Bublish, we suggest cycling through your list of books with a different set of three Book Bubbles per week.
