Helping Good Books Find Readers
Publicity Services
Regional and national campaigns in print, broadcast and online media.
I work in all print and electronic mediums. I have worked with fiction, nonfiction and YA books with a specialty being nonfiction niche markets. My authors have been placed on some of the top shows in the country on both radio and television, and in some of the top national and regional print publications. In order to be most effective, I need to be involved in your book project as early as possible. It really can’t be too early. Six months or more before publication is best if you want pre-publication buzz and reviews.
I prefer to see a synopsis and three sample chapters before moving ahead with an author. Due to time constraints, please contact me before sending your materials. Please know that my current clients come first, so response times may vary (you'll appreciate this when you are a client!). Fees are based on each individual project, so I cannot list an a la carte menu of services. Whether it’s a time-sensitive topical radio interview blitz or a full-out book launch, we can arrive at a plan and a fee structure that will suit your needs.
Publicity Plans - Contact me to write a comprehensive, customized publicity plan for your book. We can also discuss a Publicity Potential manuscript analysis or platform development. Whether you hire me to execute or not, the plan is yours.
Publicity Consulting on an hourly basis. If you would like to have someone on retainer to simply help you with promotional materials, handle events or do media research, I can help you. If you don't feel that you want to hire out a full campaign, call me and we can discuss smaller chunks that I can help you with. Call now to enquire about this popular option.
Social Media Expertise
If you want a social media presence but don't know where you should be or what you should do once you get there, give me a call. I can manage your social media presence and advise you on what to do. I can manage your posts, with fresh, creative ways to capture your audience's attention, and increase your visibility so that you are actually talking to people who care. If you need someone to Tweet for you or just help you figure it out, give me a call. Blogs, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and more.
Event Coordination and Promotion
From a regional author tour to a local fundraising or arts event, I can help put together a complete event and promote it. Or I can handle the pieces that you don't have time for. I have coordinated everything from craft shows to golf outings to author tours, and promoted events such as award dinners, drama productions and multi-day festivals. I'll get it together and get it out there, so you can enjoy your event and mingle with your peeps!
Media training
I generally will do some media training as part of a complete campaign, but if you have an interview coming up and just need a refresher or a few tips, I can help you with that. I also have some fantastic contacts who can provide in-depth media training for long-term results.
