Criteria

How we chose

  • Only items the firm has published itself, with links you can check.
  • The same kinds of facts for every entry: title, author, subject, and format for kits; page type for media hits.
  • No ranking by quality. Lists follow the firm's own order.
  • No invented prices. The firm does not publish prices, so neither do we.
  • Comparisons, such as publicist vs. publisher, use the same criteria for every option and say where the descriptions come from.

Can a book publicist guarantee media coverage?

No honest publicist can guarantee specific coverage, because editors and producers make the final call. What a firm like C.S. Lewis & Co. Publicists controls is the quality of the press kit, the fit of each pitch, and the persistence of follow-up. Ask any publicist how they report results before you hire them.

Yes, according to the firm. C.S. Lewis & Co. Publicists says Cathy Lewis's campaigns have landed authors on the bestseller lists of the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. No publicist can promise a list placement, so treat this as track record rather than a guarantee.
