Developing Authors'

Influence

For over 20 Years

PR by the Book breaks through the noise by building a fan base that goes well beyond your book.

CROSS THE THRESHOLD FROM UNKNOWN TO INFLUENCE

INTENSE

OVERWHELM

Congratulations!  You wrote a book.  Now what?  Where to begin?  That’s the million dollar question. Social media?  Guest blogging? Facebook lives? Please make it stop!  It all feels impossible.  Will anyone even know you exist?  Sigh.

CRIPPLING

INSECURITY

What if no one likes your book?  What if trolls say horrible things?  What if the reviewers eat you for lunch?  What if I’m a fraud?  Every writer goes through this gauntlet of self-doubt and anxiety.  Even the super successful ones!

PARALYZING

FEAR

It’s time to toot your own horn.  Which feels like finger nails on a chalkboard.  Is that something you can pull off without blowing it?  Television interviews.  Facebook Live events.  Public speaking.  Just the thought of it makes you cringe.

START AS AN AUTHOR. DEVELOP YOUR INFLUENCE. GO BEYOND THE BOOK.

It’s not just about getting your book in the limelight, although that’s part of it.  We take your book farther than its 15-minutes of fame working to build your digital platform as an influencer.  With digital relevancy as your foundation, you can continue building your brand much bigger than just words on a page.

“I am thrilled with my experience with PR By the Book. Marika and her team have helped me gain exposure in local and national media, in print, online, on TV, and on radio and podcasts…(They) were courteous, creative, and always enthusiastic as they helped me plan and execute my publicity campaign, worked diligently on logistics behind the scenes and was always quick to answer my administrative questions. I needed expertise and strong support in publicizing my first book, and PRBTB delivered. I am thankful to the entire team! Thanks again to you and your team for an incredible experience.”

“I am so pleased with the hard work you put into STAND’s launch. You were/are an absolute dream to work with. It’s every writer’s dream for their publicist to believe/connect with their book, and you all made that dream come true.”
