A publicist for parenting books turns your advice into stories that reach parents through the media they already follow. At C.S. Lewis & Co. Publicists, that means a media kit, books sent to editors, producers, and bloggers, follow-up for interviews and reviews, and pitches timed to news about children, schools, and family life.
Parents look for advice they can trust, so the campaign also builds your standing as an expert. Bylined articles and recurring interviews give editors a reason to call you again the next time a parenting story breaks.
Definition
Parenting book publicity earns media coverage for books that help people raise children, from newborn care to the college years. For C.S. Lewis & Co. Publicists, it starts with a conversation about the author’s expertise and goals, then moves to a media kit, distribution to the contacts that matter, and a continual stream of timely pitches. Coverage can include radio and television interviews, print and online features, reviews, and bylined articles that position the author as a go-to voice for parents.

Advice for new parents, school-age families, parents of teens, and parents of college students reaches different audiences. Pitches go to the outlets and producers that serve the parents your book is written for.
Back-to-school season, holidays, and news about children’s health and safety create natural openings. Pitches connect the author’s advice to those moments as they happen, often the same day a story breaks.
Several of the firm’s parenting authors are physicians writing about serious subjects such as teen health and family violence. Campaigns present that expertise clearly, so editors trust the author with a sensitive story.

Yes. Parenting is one of the ten subject areas where C.S. Lewis & Co. Publicists lists an established track record. Past parenting titles include Baby 411 by Ari Brown, MD, and Denise Fields, Healthy Lunchbox by Rallie McAllister, MD, and Shouting at the Sky by Gary Ferguson.
A media kit is the background material producers, journalists, editors, and bloggers use when deciding to cover you. C.S. Lewis & Co. Publicists builds kits with reviews, story ideas, interview topics, and by-lined article options. Sample press kits from past campaigns, such as Carol Roth’s The Entrepreneur Equation, appear on the firm’s website.
Earlier is better, because media kits, review copies, and long-lead magazine pitches all take time, and many publicists suggest starting several months before publication. C.S. Lewis & Co. Publicists works with authors and publishers who have a book launching soon, so contact the firm with your publication date to hear what is realistic.
Campaigns can be shaped around your comfort level, and coaching is available. C.S. Lewis & Co. Publicists customizes each campaign to the author’s strengths and media experience, and its support services include media coaching that trains authors to look and feel confident on television, on radio, and before live audiences.
Costs vary widely with scope and length. Reedsy reports a median of $1,370 for a one-month campaign through its freelancer marketplace, and a publishing newsletter by Kathleen Schmidt estimates a full campaign at $15,000 to $25,000, both as cited by Everything PR. C.S. Lewis & Co. Publicists does not publish prices, so ask the firm for a quote.
Have your book’s title, publication date, publisher, and a short summary, plus a clear sense of your goals, such as sales, speaking, new clients, or a next book deal. Note any past media experience and upcoming travel. C.S. Lewis & Co. starts every campaign with a conversation about exactly these points.
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.
Tell C.S. Lewis & Co. Publicists your title, publication date, and goals. Every campaign starts with that conversation.
