Likecorporate public relations, but more so, books depend on buzz and wordof mouth to find success. Readers look to the book pages for reviews,interviews and recommendations. Lifestyle and news media can bring youreaders interested in the subject matter of your work.
Withso many books published every year, publicity is essential to get anyone of them to stand out. Book publicity requires strong relationshipswith the literary media, as well as a thorough knowledge of general media, to take advantage of any subject specific pitches.
