The final page of your book offers a great opportunity for a bit of marketing or self-promotion. This page can come after the about the author page, and faces the inside back cover. It can be a great place to ask for reviews, share links or hashtags, encourage readers to place another order (of a journal or similar product) or buy another book from the same author or publisher.
Below I have some simple text-based template samples to help you make the most of this prime piece of real estate. Copy and paste a sample from below and tweak it to suit your needs, replacing the text in brackets with your own details! I will update this page as I come across new ideas for how to use the final page of your book to further establish your brand or name.
