We provide full-service PR and marketing services for works of new and already-published fiction. From BBC radio interviews and thought-leader articles in leading publications, to mass book reviews and international distribution, our exclusive fiction book launch package provides everything an author needs to promote a fiction book successfully in the British media.

Drawing on practical, earned experience, we develop powerful brand-building strategies that quickly raise authors’ profiles and establish their reputations as go-to experts in their fields.
We support those in the trade by driving consumer traffic to sales outlets, and by enhancing the media profile of publishing houses and agents and their key authors and titles.

Every book is different, which is why we’ve developed a range of literary PR packages to give you the choice about what types of publicity you would like us to obtain.

Do you provide ongoing book PR support?
