TrustBridge™ – Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is TrustBridge™?
TrustBridge™ is a structured visibility service that connects indie authors with vetted book clubs, podcasts, bookstores, and other reader-facing platforms through curated introductions. It is built to remove guesswork and create aligned opportunities for your book.

2. Who is TrustBridge™ for?
TrustBridge™ is designed for indie authors across all genres — fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and more — who want to increase their visibility through structured, aligned introductions. Whether you are just starting out or growing your platform, the service supports authors who want intentional connection-building.

3. What exactly am I paying for?
You are paying for a structured, managed visibility process. This includes a detailed intake, a professional and strategic media kit, curated introductions to vetted platforms inside the TrustBridge™ directory, and consistent follow-up until there is a clear response. TrustBridge™ is not a list. It is a guided introduction and follow-up system.

4. Do you guarantee placements or results?
No one can guarantee that a book club, podcast, or bookstore will say yes. What TrustBridge™ guarantees is the work: intentional positioning, professional materials, curated introductions, and structured follow-up so you are never left guessing.

5. How is this different from doing outreach myself?
You can absolutely do outreach on your own. The difference is structure, alignment, and access. TrustBridge™ connects you with vetted platforms inside a curated directory and manages introductions and follow-up in a professional, intentional way. It saves time and removes uncertainty.

6. What happens after I purchase a package?
After checkout, you receive a detailed intake form so your book, goals, and visibility preferences are fully understood. Your media kit is then built or refined. Once positioning is complete, curated introductions are made to vetted platforms inside the TrustBridge™ directory. Follow-up continues until there is a clear answer.

7. Is the media kit included, and do I own it?
Yes. A professional media kit is included with all curated introduction packages, and it is also available as a standalone service. Either way, you own your media kit. It is yours to keep and use anywhere — outside of TrustBridge™ and across any visibility opportunities you pursue.

8. How long does the process take?
The process begins immediately with intake and media kit development. Introductions are made once positioning is complete, and follow-up continues until responses are received. TrustBridge™ is built to keep communication active and transparent throughout the process.

9. What types of platforms are in the TrustBridge™ directory?
The TrustBridge™ directory currently includes vetted book clubs, podcasts, and bookstores that are open to working with indie authors. As the platform grows, additional categories such as literary blogs, publications, speaking opportunities, and other reader-facing spaces may be added. TrustBridge™ is built to expand thoughtfully while maintaining alignment and credibility.
