A Tour Guide Through the World of Book Publicity

Let's say you are a debut author. Let's also say you are excited and terrified about the publicity process and worry the publicity team at your publisher doesn't have time to exhaust all the options for your book. This is not a slam on publicists, who are wonderful, smart people, but an acknowledgement that their workloads are sizeable and alas, you are one of many authors they are shepherding. You need some handholding, but their arms are full.

 Why hire me instead of an outside publicist? Because we will brainstorm all the possible venues and angles to get people excited about your book. Print, web, blogs, podcasts, review outlets, writing or craft-oriented outlets, Substacks--there are many places to pitch you or to pitch the book for review. We will craft these pitches and track them. We will also work on guest posts or essays you can submit for publication; there is an art to these promotional pieces because you want to get people interested or excited about you and your subject without directly writing about your book. I've been doing these for years. Let me help.
