Publicity Services
I have been successfully helping authors gain media attention for over two years now. Prior to that I accumulated over 15 years of sales and marketing experience working for mid-sized and fortune 500 companies. In addition, I bring to every client and their book(s) a passion for promoting individuals and helping them achieve their goals and dreams (check out the Testimonials page).
I charge an hourly fee and no retainer fee. You can hire me for ongoing work (minimum one hour per week) or on an as-needed basis (for example, if and when you need a press release or are launching a new book). The only minimum that I require is an initial four hour commitment. Very rarely, I offer specials which I announce on Twitter and on the website. I am also open to negotiating a package deal for a set number of hours.
What can you expect from me?
Most articles that you will read about what to expect from publicists tell you that it will take up to six months to see any impact from their work (and you are probably paying a retainer fee during all that time). Not many authors can afford to spend that much time and money before seeing results, and their books are no less valuable.
That said, I don't promise to get you onto the NY Times bestseller list, and thankfully the pressure is off on getting you onto Oprah, but I can promise interviews (radio and other media) and publicity very soon after signing on with me. Prior to a commitment from you, I send you a detailed proposal on what to expect along with a rate sheet.
My specialty and focus is getting people onto radio shows. I can also assist clients in set-up and/or maintenance of social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook; contact me for more information and rates. If you are interested in book trailer creation, I can help with that as well. Below is an example of one that I created:
