Book Publicity Services
Book and Author Promotions

Introduction of books to the American public through
television , radio , newspaper, magazine, and online interviews

You can use our services even if we did not publish your book.

We have been providing national book publicity since 1994. 

Our dedicated publicists will promote your book directly to the general public and/or to a specific audience. We do national publicity only. We publicize within the United States (except for cases when interviews are disseminated worldwide).
 
For example, you can do live radio interviews that are broadcast throughout America by the use of your telephone in the comfort of your home that is located anywhere in the world. You and each radio host simply talk by telephone and your conversation is broadcast locally, nationally, or internationally. If you are experienced in granting interviews or if you have never done even one, we will help you.

SCROLL DOWN
for details about publicity services

We suggest that you use marketing services along with publicity, but you are not required to do so.
Reason: You want to have your book marketed to bookstores and other outlets
so that you can make more sales due to your publicity.


DETAILS ABOUT PUBLICITY SERVICES

These are extremely BRIEF overviews of the services:

Publicity Cards

Printed publicity cards and digital versions are created. We send these releases by mail and by requested email to significant contacts in the book industry.

Your publicity literature and complimentary copies of your book (if you desire) will be mailed to the contacts who request them for the purpose of deciding about interviewing you or writing articles about your book for audiences up to the millions.

Your main source of publicity will come from these sources and they're free. Book columnists write featured articles about books in newspapers and magazines. Producers need books that fit with television or radio segments that they want to broadcast. Book reviewers' jobs involve selecting books for in their summaries.


Publicity Literature

Our experienced staff will craft the text for your publicity literature. Then, our graphics department will design your literature. While each design is pleasing to the eye, our literature is valuable to you because it has been created by professionals who know exactly what to say, how to say it, and how to present it.


Services by Professional Publicists

Our publicists are among the best professionals in the book industry. Some are general publicists; others come from specialized backgrounds, such as the broadcast media (television and radio) and the print media (newspapers and magazines). Additionally, all of our experts have significant experience in the book industry.

We will publicize your book to media representatives. After contacting them, your assigned publicist will instruct our support staff to send publicity packages when requested by the contacts. The degree of follow-up is based upon the level that you choose. They can be very effective primarily because our staff already works with the right contacts, many of whom they've known for decades.

 

Media Promotions

Promotional literature that is designed for your book accompanies your packages. Its tried-and-true presentation has been fine-tuned throughout the years.


Publicity Newspapers, Magazines, and Television and Radio Stations

Addtional and targeted publicity is directed to the broadcast and print media that makes an even greater imact for your book by being precise in its focus on specific VIP contacts.
 



Your Publicity Website

(optional service)

This designed website is not a regular website.

It is a publicity website with invisible coding. Not only does it contain specially chosen publicity keywords and other types of meta tags, it also includes inline wording, image encoding, and a host of other technical "inventions" that we use. These codes are designed to assist in bringing people to your site.

Our publicity site, which is heavily promoted, will link to yours, which will raise your site even higher in the rankings. People throughout the world will have access to it and we will create a site that is unique enough to make your visitors stay and read about you and your book.

1. Doorway Site (a one-paged website)
2. Full Site
3. Custom Designed Full Site

One of our webmasters will create a professionally designed website for your book.  Included is three months of web hosting.  (After that, hosting is $6.95 per month. You may stop at any time.)  There is no charge for the lease of a domain name of your choice (such as yourname.com or yourbooktitle.com) as long as you use our monthly hosting.

 

  DEDICATED CAMPAIGNS

These are BRIEF overviews of the services:

 

Dedicated campaigns are publicity services that are designed for only one author's book. A senior publicist is the coordinator who supervises the publicists and staff members who work on your campaign.

Your one-of-a-kind designed media package will contain the exact information that the print media needs in the exact order that they want it. Certain journalists and producers want a concise summation of your book’s information because they want an immediate overview. A correctly presented summation on graphically designed literature will be provided. Also furnished will be extensive information for those who are interested in the details about your book.

 

Newspapers and Magazines

Many of our publicists have worked for the print media, so they know -- firsthand -- how to gain the attention of newspaper and magazine editors.

After the initial literature is mailed, your publicist contacts newspaper and magazine assignment desks, book columnists, special-feature writers, and/or editors. Then, your media packages are mailed to the correct contacts. At the appropriate times, your publicists do a series of follow-up contacts and suggest ideas for articles about your book.

Sometimes, newspapers and magazines express interest in a certain book or author, but are not ready immediately. If, after some time has passed, they have not written and published an article, your team will write a complete article for them. Small newspapers and magazines are happy to receive completed articles with photographs. Large newspapers and magazines may use these articles as ideas for other articles that they will publish. These give many different and excellent paths for publicity for your book.

 

Television and Radio Stations

Previously having been employed by the broadcast media, many of our publicists learned how to gain the interest of television and radio producers.

Your publicists will produce professional promotions about you and your book that is written by our experts with broadcast experience and designed by our talented graphics department. This literature will be sent to the media prior to the mailing of your broadcast media packages, which are unlike any others to catch the eye of producers and show hosts.

Radio interviews can take place in person or from anywhere in the world by telephone.

 

The Campaign

A team of top-level specialists and our highly experienced support staff will have meetings about your book. Each specialist will be assigned to research a different area.

When the research has been completed, a senior publicist will organize the campaign and submit a synopsis to you. It will contain choices so that you can make your decisions.

After you have approved your choices, your primary senior publicist will select your specialized team. Each will have their assignments and will implement the publicizing of your book to targeted audiences online and offline – some simultaneously and some in sequence.

Your options will include a general audience, a specific audience or audiences, or a combination. For example, let’s say that a book is entitled: How to Cook Like the Pennsylvania Pioneers. In addition to the general public, your targeted sub-groups would include American history buffs, culinary schools, "how-to" book clubs, and the tourist industry in Pennsylvania. There are about 42,000,000 "how-to" book club web links. Each book club has many members. Obviously, we could not send information to all of those book clubs, but we would do research to find those that are the most related to that book's topic.

After sending literature, your publicist will call television and radio assignment desks, producers, and program hosts. If your book is newsworthy, we will contact the newsrooms and news bureaus. Otherwise, we'll emphasize the the reasons that the subject of your book is important to the audiences of their regular programs and provide impetus for them to include segments about it.

We will do follow-up calls and make visits when they're appropriate. We will suggest ideas for articles about your book and ways for them to highlight it throughout the United States.

We will suggest and outline programs (such as public interest stories that relate to your book) that can be pre-recorded by the stations to use when needed. Public access television is an alternative solution.

There are so many ways to help you. These are only some. From the start, your desires will be our focus for your success.

 



We look forward to working for you!
