- Key services: Media outreach (TV, radio, newspapers, podcasts, magazines), book reviews coordination, social media influencer placement, speaking engagements, press releases, press kits
- Pricing: Not publicly disclosed; client testimonials report pricing is communicated upfront before engagement. 3-month minimum, with typical campaigns running 9–12 months
- Indie stance: Explicit — explicitly works with self-published authors across nearly every genre
- Notable placements: NPR, Huffington Post, Washington Post
- Limitations: Smaller boutique with less name recognition than Smith Publicity or Books Forward; limited team capacity may slow campaign launches
