Influencer Finder: Unlock Influencer Marketing for Your Book
You have a book to share, but your own following can only take it so far. Reach new readers through creators they already turn to for book recommendations. Influencer Finder helps you discover potential partners for your genre and audience, so influencer marketing becomes a practical part of your plan to sell more books.
Included with membership at $10/month or more.

Find book influencers who can introduce your book to the readers you want to reach.
Your book, a wider audience
You do not have to do all the talking.
A creator’s recommendation can introduce your book through a voice their readers already know. It gives your story or ideas a place in the conversation about what to read next. Influencer Finder helps you discover people who could bring your book into that conversation.
Reach beyond your own platform
Work with someone who has already gathered readers around the kinds of books you write. Their audience gives you a way to introduce your book to people who have yet to discover you.
Make the recommendation matter
Readers follow creators for their taste, enthusiasm, and perspective. Find potential partners whose reading interests connect with your book, so a recommendation has a reason to catch their audience’s attention.
Feel ready to get started
Influencer marketing becomes easier to picture when you have actual people to approach. Discover relevant creators and reasons your book could interest them, then start a conversation about a promotion.
More ways to bring readers to your book
Make influencer marketing part of your author career.
Use creator partnerships to give a new release more voices, introduce an older book to fresh readers, or develop connections for future campaigns. Begin with people whose audiences have a reason to care about your book.
Build interest in your launch
Give readers another way to hear about your upcoming book. Find creators to approach about a sponsored feature or recommendation, then plan the promotion around your release.
Give your backlist a fresh introduction
A book you published years ago can still be a new discovery for someone else. Look for creators whose readers may enjoy it, and give that title another opportunity to find an audience.
Build connections beyond one release
A good collaboration can become the beginning of a relationship. Find people who regularly talk about books like yours, then explore whether working together could make sense for this book and future releases.
A starting point authors can use.
One member’s experience with Influencer Finder, shared on AuthorMedia.social in September 2025.
“I tried it a couple times, both provided useful results. ... For those who understand their audience and already know what platforms they want to target this is a useful tool. For those who are still trying to determine what platform to target, it may take several iterations.”
Give your next campaign a place to begin.

You get
A ranked shortlist of creators who match your genre and audience, with links to help you explore potential partnerships. You also get ideas for making the connection between your book and their readers, so you have a reason to begin the conversation.

Getting started with book influencer marketing
How can influencer marketing help me sell more books?
A relevant creator can introduce your book to readers who value their recommendations. Influencer Finder helps you discover those potential partners, so you can bring another audience into your promotion plans. Sales depend on the book, the audience, and the campaign.
Can I find BookTok, BookTube, and Bookstagram influencers?
Yes. Explore creators on TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram, as well as X, Facebook, Substack, Blog, or Podcast Index. Choose one platform for each search to find potential partners where you want to promote your book.
Do I need a large following of my own?
You can begin researching partnerships with the audience you have today. Influencer Finder does not require your follower count. A creator partnership gives your book an opportunity to reach that creator’s audience.
Should I choose the influencer with the most followers?
Look for an audience that could want your book. Consider the creator’s reading interests, recent book content, and the conversation their posts generate, alongside audience size. The useful question is how well your book fits the people they reach.
How do I start working with an influencer?
Choose a potential partner whose work fits your book, then use their public business contact or inquiry form to discuss a campaign. For a paid promotion, agree on what they will create, when it will appear, and the fee. The creator confirms current rates and availability.
Can I use it to find reviewers for advance copies?
Yes. Find people who cover books like yours, then check their review-copy policy before offering your book. Sending a copy invites an independent review. A sponsored promotion has its own agreed terms.
Can I use it before publication or when I change genres?
You can research potential partners while preparing a release, even before the manuscript is finished. Search around the readers of the book you are promoting. A different genre may open up a different group of creators and reading communities.
Does the tool contact influencers or run the campaign?
You stay in charge of the relationship and the campaign. Influencer Finder helps you discover potential partners and reasons your book may fit their audience. You contact them, arrange the promotion, and evaluate the results.
Can fiction, nonfiction, and traditionally published authors use it?
Yes. Explore book creators who serve the readers of your novel or nonfiction topic. Traditionally published authors can bring potential partners to their publisher or publicist and coordinate the campaign together.
What if I am still figuring out who my readers are?
Give your promotion a clearer direction with Timothy Finder, which helps you define your target reader. Comp Finder can help you identify similar books and authors. That preparation makes it easier to look for creators whose reading interests connect with your book.
Is my work private?
Yes. Author Media does not store, track, or view anything you post to this tool. The tools reach each AI through its business API with privacy set to the maximum, so the AI companies do not train on your words.
How much does it cost?
Influencer Finder is included with any Novel Marketing Patreon membership of $10 per month or more. That membership also unlocks more than 80 other author tools in the Patron Toolbox. AI tool use draws from your membership’s credit balance, and the amount used varies with the request.
