PR for Authors
Authors are thought leaders by definition. They have expertise, opinions and creativity. These are the perfect building blocks to secure contributor articles in the media, profile pieces, interviews, soundbites, talks, and contributions to topical conversations on social media.
Our founder is a three-time published author, so we know very well how to turn storylines from books into ideas for articles that the media will love.
Our starting point is the same for all our clients. We first develop your media-worthy talking points, and optimise your online profiles to build your author brand. Then, we get to work finding profile-raising opportunities for you and your book.
