Book PR & Author Marketing by the UK’s Oldest and Most Trusted Book PR Agency

At Palamedes PR, we don’t just promote stories—we help shape them.

Through our in-house NAPA news agency, Belters News, and as the exclusive editorial partner of The European magazine, we provide authors with direct access to influential media platforms that other UK book PR agencies simply cannot match.

This unique media reach allows us to secure guaranteed national press, TV, and radio coverage faster and more effectively than any other book marketing firm in the UK.

We work with both represented and independent authors of fiction and non-fiction, as well as small presses, major publishing houses, and literary agents. Since 2009, our award-winning team has delivered exceptional book publicity and marketing campaigns every working day of the year—placing books in the UK’s top media outlets and securing prime-time broadcast appearances.

Most campaigns deliver widespread coverage within just 14 days. Unlike other book PR firms, we offer a peace-of-mind guarantee with measurable, published results. Click here to contact us and arrange a free consultation.

We’re the only book PR agency that is run and staffed by author marketing experts with professional journalist backgrounds in the national press and broadcast media.

We have a proven track record for running successful fiction, non-fiction, author promotion and publisher PR and book publicity campaigns in the national media and on TV and radio since 2009.

And we generate more book publicity per campaign than any other UK book publicist, according to journalists and publishing houses.

Our author marketing experts believe the proof is in the pudding and publish the results of our book publicity campaigns and author marketing services almost every day of the year.

Given our journalistic pedigree, it’s no surprise that Palamedes is the go-to book publicity agency UK and author marketing company for some of Britain’s largest publishing houses and the established market leader in the field of book marketing services.

Palamedes PR is the only UK book publicist willing and able to guarantee its work in the national media and on radio (like our book marketing campaign for the celebrity chef and cookery book author Gurpareet Bains [Bloomsbury/Absolute Press], pictured left on BBC Radio 2 with Chris Evans).

We’re not fluffy, won’t dine out on your dollar, and won’t attempt to wow you with patronising buzzwords and industry jargon.

We deliver what we promise – often within as little as 14 days – or your money back.

Do I need a book publicist?
Amazon publishes a new book every five minutes. In this increasingly saturated market, getting today’s savvy consumers to notice your book will be hard enough. Encouraging them to buy a copy is something else entirely. That’s where a results-focused book PR and literary marketing agency comes in.

What publicity will I receive?
Every book is different, which is why we’ve developed a range of book PR and marketing services to give you the choice about what types of publicity you would like us to obtain. Our book PR services include national press coverage – the ‘holy grail’ of book publicity that other literary PR agencies rarely achieve and never guarantee.

How quickly will I obtain media coverage?
Our PR for books campaigns typically secure your media coverage within just 14 days.

Do you provide ongoing book PR support?
Absolutely. If you need ongoing book publicity – perhaps to raise a publisher’s profile or to publicise a range of books – simply let us know on the contact form.

Can you offer me free advice?
We offer free advice from the outset. Tell us a few details on the contact form and we’ll call you back to discuss your options with absolutely no obligation. It’s all part of the ongoing Palamedes PR service.
