WHO WE ARE

Our dedicated team of publishing professionals is committed to helping authors realize their very best work and to finding innovative new ways of bringing stories and ideas to audiences worldwide. Find your story in our books!

Publicity professionals generate exposure and “buzz” for new books and are the biggest advocates of the titles to the media.

Some responsibilities may include:

• Researching media contacts
• Crafting pitches for publicity campaigns
• Tracking media coverage and mailing books to media contacts
• Assisting in select publicity book mailings (remotely)

• Attending team meetings to help brainstorm new outlets or contacts to pitch our books
