Mindbuck Media

Book Publicity Services

MindBuck Media is a full-service publicity and public relations company for authors, books, and publishers. We consider your book holistically, and then develop a targeted campaign to attract media, reviewers, and readers.

We have a high standard for the books and authors we choose to work with. For publicity campaigns, books must have a publisher with a distribution plan, they must be compelling, and they must be professionally edited and designed. We are happy to work with a diverse selection of publishing houses: small, medium, and large. 

We prefer to start a campaign with a five-to-six-month lead time before release. Our minimum publicity campaign starts at 60 hours and $6600, billed at $110/hour. On average, our authors select campaigns in the range of 80 to 150 hours. A cash advance against book sales can be a publishing company’s contribution toward the cost of a publicity campaign. 

MindBuck Media is happy to work with authors and publishers to get the best publicity bang for the buck for the target market and media.

Who Needs a Book Publicist?

Basically, everyone who releases a book needs a book publicist. Many large publishers have internal publicists, but they don’t have the time and resources to focus on more than one or two of their highest grossing authors. Due to many things including the changing economics of the publishing world, publishing companies expect authors to contribute to publicity. Authors from small, medium and large publishers are expected to promote and interact with their readers. It can be tough, but a good publicist is a buffer and cushion.

Cash advances can be a publishing company’s contribution to publicity. MindBuck Media is happy to work with authors and publishers to get the best publicity bang for the buck for the target market and project. We work with many publishing companies: small, medium and large. We rarely work on self published books with a few notable exceptions.
