We turn powerful ideas into lasting authority.

Through integrated publicity and marketing campaigns, Smith Publicity connects authors and experts with the audiences that matter most.

Our clients are leaders, entrepreneurs, academics, and subject-matter experts who use their nonfiction books as a catalyst to grow their influence, strengthen their thought leadership, and advance their work.

We partner at pivotal moments — book launches, platform expansion, and career inflection points — to drive immediate traction and lasting momentum.

Great book launches don’t begin on publication day. They don’t end there either.

Our approach connects your book, your voice, and the audiences you want to reach through an integrated strategy that brings together platform positioning, strategic network outreach, media visibility, and ongoing thought leadership.

The goal is not just attention, but recognition that builds credibility, trust, and long-term opportunity.

Positioned with purpose.

We work across nonfiction, focusing on authors who have particular expertise in three main areas:

  • Business, Leadership, Future of Work, Career Development
  • Lifestyle, Personal Development, Health & Wellness
  • Public Affairs, Policy, Social Impact
See Our Focus Areas
Five books spanning our focus areas: business titles 'Smarter Collaboration' and 'Thoughtload,' the lifestyle memoir 'I Bottled My Mother' by Monica Nassif, wellness title 'Finally Hopeful' by Dr. James Greenblatt, and public affairs title 'What Matters Next' by Kate O'Neill.

Strategic visibility, expertly executed.

Our services combine strategic publicity and expert positioning to build credibility, expand your reach, and sustain momentum well beyond launch.

We build customized campaigns using the following four services:

  • Book Publicity & Media Relations

    From national outlets to targeted niche coverage, we lead strategy, outreach, and placements across digital, print, broadcast, and podcasts, connecting your message with the audiences who matter most.

  • Thought Leadership & Expert Positioning

    Through interviews, contributed articles, expert commentary, and strategic outreach, we elevate your voice and position you within the conversations shaping your industry.

  • Author Platform & Brand Strategy

    From messaging refinement to platform audits and network engagement strategies, we ensure your brand is clear, consistent, and built to support both your book launch and long-term goals.

  • Speaking Engagement Support

    We position you for conferences, associations, and corporate audiences, turning visibility into speaking opportunities that strengthen your authority and extend your impact.
