Frequently Asked Questions
1. Who is Out Of The Stack?
Out Of The Stack Book Promotions is a faith-friendly book marketing service built by Christian authors, for Christian authors. We understand the calling behind the message because we share it. Your book is more than ink on paper — it is testimony, truth, and purpose.
With over 20 years of experience discovering creative ways to promote Christian books that make a difference, we help authors rise above the noise. In a crowded marketplace, powerful stories can get buried. Our mission is to move your message out of the stack and into the light — placing it in front of readers seeking encouragement, truth, and hope.
We combine modern video marketing, social media strategy, and streaming television exposure to ensure your book is seen, remembered, and valued.
2. What will listing my book on Out of the Stack website do for me?
Out of the Stack Bookshop attracts thousands of independent book lovers every month. We'll feature your book on our homepage for a week and post it across our promoted social media channels. Out of the Stack runs paid ads daily for our website on Roku TV, YouTube, Google, and across promoted social media platforms. This makes listing on Out of the Stack an essential and low-cost promotional tool.
3. Is video promotion effective?
At Out Of The Stack, we understand something many promoters miss: people don’t consume media the same way everywhere.
When someone is scrolling on Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok, they’re leaning forward — actively searching, swiping, filtering. Your book has only seconds to capture attention. That’s why we create bold, eye-catching 15-second video ads designed to stop the scroll and spark immediate curiosity.
But when viewers are watching YouTube or streaming on Roku, they’re leaning back — relaxed, focused, and ready to receive. This is where the story breathes. This is where emotion connects. This is where your message can settle into the heart.
We strategically use both environments because your book deserves more than a quick glance — it deserves engagement. Social media captures attention. Streaming TV builds presence and credibility. Together, they move your book out of the stack and into the light — placing your message before readers who are ready not just to scroll, but to listen.
4. Will I be required to sell my book at a discount?
Most books today are promoted through simple one-day email blasts, typically costing $60 to $250 per feature. While those promotions can create a temporary spike, they often disappear just as quickly as they arrive. Many of these email promotion sites also require authors to discount their books to $0.99 in order to be featured, training readers to expect your hard work at the lowest possible price.
At Out Of The Stack, we believe your book should sell for the price you set. Your message has value. Your work has worth. Instead of pushing deep discounts for a single day, we combine strategic social media video ads with streaming television exposure across platforms like YouTube and Roku to give your book broader, sustained visibility. Rather than a brief inbox appearance, we position your book in front of engaged audiences multiple times, across multiple environments — building credibility, momentum, and long-term impact.
