How To Write A Press Release For A Book
Annie Jennings[18]: This site has a wide range of media testimonials, although it is light on detail of exactly what you will get for your money, or even how much money you will be required to part with. The unique angle to this service seems to be a focus on connecting authors with media opportunities, such as TV and radio appearances.
Palamedes PR[19]: This is a UK agency with a very nicely designed site, which is a pleasure to navigate. One aspect of Palamedes PR that is cool is their “price match guarantee.” They state that if you find a lower price for the same type of service elsewhere, they will match it.
PR By The Book[20]: PR By The Book is a PR service based in Austin and Nashville. They state they are able to help authors with various aspects of their promotional efforts – from conventional press releases to advanced branding strategies.
Smith Publicity[21]: Smith Publicity is another specialist book promotion service with a long track record and extensive list of testimonials. In order to get a quote from Smith Publicity, you need to contact them with your goals and budget to work with.
If any of those are too expensive, you can always try Fiverr or Upwork..but do your due diligence.

But not the one you immediately think of…sneaky sneaky.
