Our promotional efforts are strengthened through industry relationships, and we couldn’t do what we do without the power of booksellers, writing organizations, reading communities and literary groups with which we are proud to be affiliated.

Our team’s expertise and reputation earn us frequent invitations to lead publishing panels, “Ask a Publicist” book marketing webinars and media discussions, where we share valuable insights and guidance for authors.
