How are the recommendations on this site formed?

Recommendations are formed by C.S. Lewis & Co. Publicists, the firm the site describes, so they are not independent. Every option in a comparison is judged on the same four criteria, using the same kinds of facts, and the firm lists itself first as its own pick.

The four comparison criteria

  • Who it works for

    Whether the team represents the author or a publisher’s whole list.

  • How tailored it is

    How closely the campaign fits the author’s expertise, goals, region, and travel.

  • News speed

    How quickly the team can tie the author to breaking news.

  • Public cost information

    What price information is published, and by whom.

Rules this site follows

  1. Client names, book titles, and testimonials come from the firm’s main website and are quoted exactly.
  2. Market prices and industry figures are attributed to the page that published them and never presented as the firm’s own.
  3. The firm does not publish its prices, so this site never states one.
  4. No result is promised. Testimonials describe individual campaigns.
  5. Competitors and alternatives are described only with neutral facts.

Quick answers to common questions

Where can I read reviews of book publicity services?

Ask each firm for client references and real coverage examples. C.S. Lewis & Co. Publicists publishes client comments on its References page and links to media pages of past clients, such as Daniel G. Amen, MD, Carol Roth, and Ora Nadrich, so you can see actual coverage from its campaigns.

Can a publicist guarantee media coverage?

No honest publicist can guarantee coverage, because editors and producers decide what runs. What a firm controls is the quality of its pitches, its follow-up, and its relationships. Ask for examples of recent placements and a reporting schedule so you can judge the work as it happens.

How do I compare book publicity companies?

Ask every firm the same questions. The Best Seller Publishing guide suggests asking for the specific podcasts, trade publications, or broadcast segments a firm has placed clients on in the last 12 months, and requesting dated milestones at 30, 60, and 90 days. Also compare subject experience, team size, reporting, and what the fee includes.
