Strategic, visually polished presentations designed to present your book to the right decision-makers with the information that matters most to them.
A bookstore buyer, journalist, event organizer, librarian, sponsor, and film producer aren't evaluating your book through the same lens. Each is looking for different information and a different kind of opportunity. That's why Outskirts Press offers custom pitch decks designed around specific book marketing goals rather than relying on one generic presentation for every audience.
Select the pitch deck that matches the audience or opportunity you want to pursue. When ordering, simply indicate which type of pitch deck you wish to receive.
