The above are two terrific questions we hear from authors and potential authors all the time. We’re here to help guide you through the entire publishing experience. And what an experience it is!
Our Experience
We have been publicizing books since 1986, working with major publishers, independent presses and self-published authors. Over these 30 years, we’ve witnessed the changing world of publishing, from consolidation of the major New York publishing houses to the launch of Amazon; the proliferation and the decline of the local, independent bookstore.
When we started, the 20-city author tour was the norm. There were 2-3 local television talk shows, newspapers and radio shows in every market. Now we’re lucky if there is one of each. We pride ourselves in adapting quickly to changes. Now, with blogs and social media, we strategize author campaigns to reach a targeted demographic –even more likely to buy their book.
When you hire BrandStand, you are not just hiring a book publicist. You are hiring a National Public Relations firm with offices in multiple cities. See our SERVICES page on our main site for additional services we provide our corporate clients.
