Hi, this is Melanie Johnson, CEO and co-founder of Elite Online Publishing, and I have one of those behind-the-scenes publishing stories that still makes me smile.
Jenn Foster and I submitted our book, Be Recognized: The AI Authority Engine for Experts Who Want to Be Known, Be Profitable, and Be Published, to Literary Titan because we genuinely respect what they do. They do professional reviews, spotlight authors, and run their monthly book awards program.
And then we got the news that Literary Titan had reviewed our book with a five-star feature and published an author interview. That combo hit us right in the heart, because the entire message of our book is about becoming visible and getting recognized.
Why We Entered Literary Titan in the First Place
When you write a nonfiction book about visibility, authority, and building a brand that actually drives business growth, you want it to land with real readers.
Literary Titan’s awards program is built around books they have reviewed through their services, and they use Gold and Silver distinctions to recognize standout work. So we thought, why not put the book in a room where credibility matters?
Not because we needed permission to believe in our message, but because third-party validation is powerful.
The Review That Gave Me Chills
When we opened the review, we were not looking for fluff. We were looking for confirmation that the book truly delivers.
What I loved is that the review did not just summarize the book. It described the experience of reading it.
Literary Titan called the writing “direct and friendly,” and said it feels like we are “sitting across from you,” pushing you to stop hiding and start owning your voice.
That line got me, because that is exactly how Jenn and I coach. Not from a pedestal. From the table. With real talk and real steps.
They also highlighted one of the main ideas we repeat throughout the book: visibility is not a nice-to-have anymore. The review literally says that “visibility is now the real currency,” and that message resonated deeply.
The Part That Made Our Hearts Soar
Yes, the feature was exciting. Yes, the five-star review was incredible.
But what really made this emotional for us is this simple truth:
We have helped hundreds of authors become bestsellers, win awards, and get featured.
This time, it was our turn to feel what our clients feel.
That moment where you realize your book is not just published, it is being received. It is being recognized by someone outside your circle. It is being understood.
And as someone who has built a company around helping experts stop being overlooked, it felt beautifully full-circle.
Literary Titan Also Featured Our Author Interview
A week later, Literary Titan published an interview that went deeper into why we wrote Be Recognized, and why we believe AI is a tool that amplifies your voice, not replaces it. LITERARY TITAN
They asked smart questions about AI hesitation, authenticity, and what we want readers to walk away with. We shared our belief that you do not need to wait to be discovered. You need a system to shine.
How This Boosts a Book’s Visibility (and Why You Should Share Wins Like This)
Here is the marketing lesson I want every author to hear:
Awards, reviews, and credible features are not just feel-good moments. They are discoverability assets.
When you blog about them, post about them, and build content around them, you create searchable proof that helps Google connect your name, your book title, and your topic.
Literary Titan pages like our review and interview create new pathways for people to find the book, and for your authority to compound over time.
So yes, we are celebrating. And we are also teaching, because that is who we are.
Want This Kind of Visibility for Your Book?
If you are writing a book right now and wondering if any of this is worth it, it is.
You can absolutely build a book that positions you as the authority, attracts aligned clients, and opens doors to media, speaking, and partnerships.
