The Situation
Great guests – but empty chairs?
Literature houses bring well-known and new voices to the stage. But regular audiences are aging, young book lovers discover books on Instagram and TikTok, and many events become known too late. If you’re present online, you fill the rows – and win new readers.
AI-generated- Your audience is aging, young people rarely come.
- Readings become known too late.
- Your website is outdated or confusing.
- Social media barely reaches the book community.
- Workshops and school programs are too little known.
- Partnerships with publishers and bookstores are underused.

We look at how your audience finds you today, which events sell out, where seats stay empty and who you barely reach so far.
02
Setup & strategy
Website, program, ticketing and visibility become one coherent whole – with clear series and formats people recognize.
03
Ongoing support
Newsletters, social media and campaigns for readings, talks, festivals and workshops – regular and plannable.
04
Reach & growth
Photos, short videos, recordings, press relations and partnerships with publishers and bookstores bring new audiences – with clear numbers.
