Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before checkout — no surprises, just results.

What happens after I place my order?

After placing your order, you’ll receive a confirmation email. At this stage, you can request any edits and you’re also welcome to send an author photo or book cover if you’d like it included at no additional cost.

Once you give final approval, we’ll immediately publish your press release across our news and media partner network, including book and publishing sites, genre and niche publications aligned with your book, and top national news outlets.

Within 48 hours, you’ll receive your complete media coverage report with live links to every outlet that features your press release.

Why do I need a press release?

A press release are essentially the same thing. Both are professionally written media articles designed to introduce your book and your name to trusted news outlets.

This type of coverage gives you instant credibility by placing your book on established media platforms that readers, event organizers, and industry professionals already recognize. Instead of relying only on social media or word of mouth, your book is supported by respected publications that signal legitimacy right away.

Beyond the initial exposure, your press release becomes a long-term asset for your author brand. When someone searches your name or book on Google, your media coverage helps you appear higher in results and look more established. This can influence buying decisions, interview requests, and invitations to events or speaking opportunities.

Your coverage links, including placements on major outlets like AP News and other recognized publications, can be used to secure book signings, podcasts, media features, and collaborations. You can also showcase these links on your website, Amazon page, social media, and even in your email signature to reinforce authority everywhere your audience encounters you.

It’s a one-time investment that continues working for you long after publication, providing a lasting credibility boost for your book and your author brand.

What is included in the media coverage report?

Your media coverage report includes live links to every outlet that published your press release, allowing you to personally click through and view each publication.
