BOOK PUBLICIST
A book publicist is a public relations professional who promotes books and authors to the media and the public, aiming to generate publicity and boost book sales. They work to get books reviewed, featured in articles, and scheduled for interviews and events. Publicists use their media contacts and PR expertise to help authors reach their target audience and achieve their sales goals.

Getting publicity or perhaps radio, or telephone interviews can make a huge difference to the sales of your work as an author. The first step in the book promotion process being for a Publicist (like PRforBooks) to write creative Press Releases and get these in front of journalists and researches looking for newsworthy content, this is what PRforBooks does.
Our challenge being to create engaging press releases that spark interest in a target book and lead the reader on to seek further information by either getting a copy of the book, or simply to gather more information in order to make a decision about whether or not to proceed further. If recipients of our press releases are captivated by a story, or subject matter, they will be motivated to write an article in a manner that their own readers will appreciate and both they, and the book's author, benefit.
Our methods have worked for many of our clients with articles that have appeared in national newspapers and magazines and, in some cases where the subject matter is very topical, interviews on national or local rado stations. Such publicity generating substantial sales volumes for our authors.
Press Releases must be distributed across a wide network of media contacts to maximise follow up action. Sometimes, responses are fairly quick but due to the volume of content our network recipients have to sift through, initial emails or a press release can get missed. This is why we run our Book Promotion campaigns over a 3 month period with follow up PR that highlights different aspects of the target book so that the PR has more chance of being noticed. Our objective being to create ongoing publicity which gets a target book noticed by the public within a very crowded market.
