Hello fellow MIDI enthusiasts and composers! I've just completed a comprehensive guide on "Advanced MIDI Orchestration Techniques" that combines both traditional orchestration principles with modern MIDI implementation strategies. After spending two years perfecting the content and including case studies from film scoring and game audio projects, I'm now facing the challenge of marketing this specialized book.

I'm looking for book marketing services that understand the music technology niche. Most general marketing companies I've contacted seem unfamiliar with our community's specific platforms, publications, and influencers. They don't understand the difference between marketing to hobbyists versus professional composers or audio engineers.

Has anyone here successfully worked with book marketing services for music production books, MIDI guides, or other technical audio publications? I'm particularly interested in services that have connections with music technology schools, professional audio forums, and industry publications like Sound On Sound or Computer Music.

My target audience includes film composers, game audio designers, and serious MIDI enthusiasts—exactly the kind of people in this community. What book marketing services would you recommend that understand our specialized field? Did they deliver meaningful results beyond generic social media posts? Any cautionary tales about services that claimed to understand the music tech market but clearly didn't?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences. I'd rather learn from this community than waste resources on book marketing services that don't understand our unique industry!
