The battle for media attention for books and authors is more competitive than ever. Traditionally published, self published, or produced in e-book or audiobook format, thousands of new books are released each month. How can a new book and author stand out about the crowd? That’s where Smith Publicity comes in.

For over 13 years and experience gained from 950 promotional campaigns, we have perfected book publicity and book promotion to a veritable science. The Smith Publicity traditional and online PR services strategies have been honed and refined, adjusted and expanded, to the point where we know exactly what is needed to provide authors the absolute best opportunities for media coverage. We secure media opportunities that move books and create word-of-mouth awareness: radio and television interviews, newspaper and magazine feature stories and articles, and Internet outlets and blogs.

Proven Book Publicity Techniques Produce Powerful Results

While the core methodology developed by Dan Smith at the company’s inception have remained the same, Smith Publicity has evolved with a fluid and dynamic book publicity market, incorporating online PR services and Internet media outreach. We provide producers and editors with exactly the type of material they want and need, and our extensive list of personal contacts developed over the years, combined with a state-of-the-art media database, enables us to effectively pitch and persuade media to take interest in our clients and their books. This “Smith Publicity Way” — implemented by experienced book promoters and book publicists — has resulted in thousands and thousands of interviews and articles and coverage in virtually every major media outlet worldwide.
