PUBLICIST
Do you need a publicist to handle your press release with targeted distribution and phone call follow-up? Do you want personal media leads sent directly to you? How about a clipping service that notifies you whenever your book is mentioned on the Internet?
The Outskirts Press PR Publicist service does all this for you, and more.
We will contact you for a copy of the press release you want distributed.* If you need assistance composing a press release, we offer a Custom Press Release service as well.
We will e-mail your release directly to the personal email in-boxes of book reviewers and editors in print, radio, television, trades, E-zines, syndicates, and wires locally, regionally and nationwide.
Our distribution circuit consists of over 21,000 national media contacts. Applicable trade publications selected for your subject are included free of charge. Editors have opted-in and given us appropriate addresses to e-mail the respective releases to.
The PR Publicist will send you a list of the confirmed recipients who opened/read your press release.**
We will place phone calls to follow-up on your single release with key editors, beat writers, and reviewers to push your press release. This increases the probability of coverage/interest. These are not cold calls. The editors and writers receiving your press release and our phone calls have agreed to receive applicable press releases and therefore value the information and the follow-up phone call, which we perform for you.
We will send you every single media lead that results from your publicist campaign. Usually they are in the form of a review copy request. The PR Publicist will also send you a recommended cover letter to use when following-up on each lead. You may use it exactly, or alter it as you see fit. The number of leads and the length of receiving leads varies by release and cannot be guaranteed. Most leads will result within the first two weeks after the release is distributed. The media's interest in the release will depend upon the content of the release, the topic of the book, the time of year, other news-related stories going on at the time, and other intangible variables.
FREE BONUS - We will register you with a clipping service, compliments of Google, under the title of the book to help you keep track of all the promotion you receive from the PR Publicist. Every time your book title is mentioned anywhere on the Internet, you will receive up-to-the minute email notification. This clipping service lasts for as long as you want.
CASE STUDY: 5 Major Interview Requests in 72 hours!
Thanks to the PR Publicist, retired NBA All-Star Ricky Pierce received 5 major interview leads and 56 review leads in the first 72 hours for his Outskirts Press book, Bouncing Billy.
Ricky Pierce, the former Rice University star, retired from the National Basketball Association (NBA) in 1998. He took with him 14,467 points, shooting 49.3 percent from the floor and 88.5 percent from the foul line during his 16-year NBA career. He was the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year in 1987 and 1990 and an All-Star in 1991. He is the creator and inventor of the AccUShot22 Basketball, which aids children through adults in the ball-handling and shooting skills. Pierce has always been fascinated with the way children learn. Having three children of his own, he quickly came to understand the importance of reading to children and the great impact that a book can have on a child. While playing in the NBA, Pierce had the opportunity to visit many schools and children's hospitals, where reading was a big part of the visit. Those experiences inspired him to write Bouncing Billy and make a positive difference in the lives of children. Pierce resides in Texas with his wife, Joyce, formerly of the multi-Grammy award-winning group, The 5th Dimension, along with their three children, Christian, Rachel, and Aron.
