Before you pitch us
What authors usually ask before we start working together.
your turn next!01What kinds of authors do you work with?
Authors of every genre, whether you're traditionally published, with a small press, or self-published. Debut or tenth book, we'd love to hear about it.
02When should I reach out?
The earlier, the better. Media and events book up months ahead, so a few months before your pub date is ideal. Already launched? We can still help your book find new readers.
03Can you guarantee press coverage?
No honest publicist can, and we won't pretend to. What we can promise is smart, personal pitching, real relationships, and a campaign that gives your book its best shot.
04Do you only work with Rhode Island authors?
Not at all. We're based in Rhode Island and know the New England book scene well, but we work with authors everywhere.
05Can you host my launch party?
We'd love to. Events are our favorite thing. See our author experiences for the kinds of nights we create.
06How much does it cost?
Every campaign is custom, so we'll send a proposal after our first chat. We can build something for almost any budget, from a single event to a full launch campaign.
