If you’re an indie author, you already know the hardest part isn’t just writing the book.

It’s marketing the book in a way that’s viable, economical, and actually gives you a real shot at reaching readers — without breaking the bank.

Most authors don’t start writing thinking, “Let me also become a marketer.”

You start with the story. The message. The mission.

Then the book is done, and reality hits:

How do I get this book into the hands of people who truly want to read it?

That’s the problem TrustBridge™ was built to solve.

I’ve been building TrustBridge™ quietly for months, and I’m excited to finally open the doors.

Soft launch for authors: Saturday, January 24, 2026.

What TrustBridge™ is

TrustBridge™ is a paid, curated connection ecosystem created by Bright Headed Publishing to connect vetted indie authors with aligned:

• podcasts
• book clubs
• bookstores

This is not random blasting.
This is not spam.
This is not “post and pray.”

TrustBridge™ is about professional presentation + intentional outreach + aligned opportunities — so your marketing becomes strategic, not stressful.

What TrustBridge™ includes

TrustBridge™ Author Services is a paid service because it includes real support — not just a list.

Authors receive:

• a professional media kit (built for pitching)
• curated pitching to aligned podcasts, book clubs, and bookstores
• outreach rooted in integrity, clarity, and strategy

Why this matters

Indie authors deserve a path forward that doesn’t require:

• living on social media
• paying for expensive promo that doesn’t convert
• guessing who to contact and what to say
• wasting time chasing dead ends

TrustBridge™ is built to reduce the guessing and increase the quality of your access.

Soft launch bonus: special limited pricing

Because this is a soft launch, there will be special limited pricing through a coupon code.

That coupon code will only be shared through:
