Start With a Conversation, Not a Contract

The first call costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Tell us about the book — published last week, published three years ago and gone quiet, or due out next spring — and we will tell you which of the three services it actually needs, what we would do first, and roughly what that costs. If press is not realistic yet, or your budget is better spent on audio than ads, we will say so. And if we are not the right people for the job, we will point you somewhere better.

However You Prefer to Get in Touch

You will reach a campaign manager rather than a call centre, and enquiries sent during the working week are answered the same day. Bring your questions about cost, timescales, ad budgets, narrator options, rights or anything else — nothing is too basic to ask.

Or fill in the form below and tell us which of the three services you are after. Links are welcome — your retail listing, or a sample chapter, lets us give you a far more useful answer.

Already Run a Campaign With Us?

We would rather hear about the awkward bits than the compliments. If a report left you none the wiser, if follow-up on a pitch went quiet, or if an explanation of your ad numbers made no sense, tell us — that is how the next author gets a better experience than you did. Send it to the same address; it reaches the people who can change it.

Reviewing campaign feedback

Titles We’ve Put in Front of Readers.

These are real campaigns, not mock-ups. Some came to us at launch and needed press, audio and advertising sequenced into one calendar; others had been out for years and selling quietly until we found a fresh angle for them. Each was handled by the same team you would be working with, and each is on sale today in print, ebook and audio.

What Our Authors Say Afterwards.

We would rather you heard it from the people who have already been through a campaign. These are authors who arrived with a finished book and no idea how to get it noticed — some at launch, some with a title that had been quietly sitting there for years. Read what they made of working with us, then decide whether we are the right fit.

Owen Welch

I had no idea where to begin with an audiobook. Cheryl sent me four narrator auditions, we picked one together, and six weeks later I had a finished file live on three stores. I listen to it more than I read my own paperback.

Charlie Owens

Frank kept the launch on schedule when I was the one causing the delays. Review copies went out on time, the press hit on publication day, and he never once made me feel like a nuisance for missing an approval.

Harvey Perkins

The ads were the part I was most sceptical about. Three months in, my cost per sale had halved and the book was holding a top-twenty spot in its category. The monthly report told me exactly where the money went.

David Davies

Two trade reviews and a local radio interview in the first month, on a book that had been out for two years and selling nothing. The hook they found was an angle I would never have thought of myself.

Marta Ellison

They talked me out of three awards I wanted to enter because my book could not win them, then got me shortlisted for one I had never heard of. That conversation told me everything about how they work.

Grant Whitmore

The podcast prep notes were worth the fee on their own. I went into eleven interviews knowing roughly what was coming and sounding like someone who had done this before. Audiobook sales doubled off the back of them.

Questions We Get Asked Most.

Coverage you can point at — reviews, interviews, features, podcast appearances and award listings. What we commit to is the work: a real angle, a media list built around your subject, pitches to named contacts and persistent follow-up. What no honest publicist commits to is a specific outlet, because the decision belongs to an editor we do not employ.

Yes, and it is more common than launch work. An older title needs a fresh hook rather than a publication date — an anniversary, a news story your subject touches, a new audiobook edition or an award listing. Backlist campaigns are often cheaper to run because there is no embargo to work around.

We shortlist voices that suit your genre and have them audition with a passage from your actual book, not a generic demo. You listen to the options side by side and choose. Nothing is recorded until you have signed off on the voice, and the narrator stays on the title for any later volumes in a series.

Six to ten weeks for a typical book, start to finish: about a week for casting, two to three for recording, then editing, mastering, proof listening and retailer delivery. Platform review adds a few days at the end. A long or heavily researched title with difficult pronunciation runs nearer twelve.

Audible and Amazon, Spotify, Apple, Kobo, Storytel, Chirp and the library networks, depending on whether you want exclusive or wide distribution. We will explain what each option does to your royalty rate before you choose, and you keep the master files either way.

Most authors start somewhere between $500 and $1,500 a month, which is enough to gather real data without burning money while we find what works. The budget sits in your own advertising account, not ours — we manage it, you can see every penny, and our fee is invoiced separately.

No, and be wary of anyone who does. Sales, chart position, review counts and editorial decisions depend on market conditions nobody controls. We guarantee the work is done to brief, reported honestly, and that you will hear early if a campaign is not paying for itself.

Of course. Plenty of authors come to us for an audiobook alone, or to get advertising under control on a title that is already selling. The three do reinforce each other — press coverage makes ads cheaper to convert, and an audiobook gives a stalled campaign something new to announce — but nothing is bundled.
