"Throughout our relationship Kelsey has never failed to answer my questions or follow through with my requests both promptly and professionally."
"I have had the pleasure of working with Kelsey and Book Publicity Services for years, and over that period she has consistently generated reviews for each of the novels in my Pigeon-Blood Red trilogy. Those reviews have appeared on Amazon, Goodreads, and Instagram. Moreover, the reviewers have haled not only from the U.S., but also from Canada and Great Britain and from as far away as Australia.

"Kelsey has taken a lot of work off my plate so I can focus in my zone of genius."
"When Kelsey initially reached out to help me with PR, I wasn't sure I needed her help. I already had two best sellers under my belt that I had self-marketed, but I was drowning in PR requests and didn't have time to follow up or seek out new opportunities. I receive a lot of pitch emails for these types of services, but Kelsey's stood out. She was professional, to the point, non-pushy. I thought "If I want anyone handling my PR, it's someone who writes non-annoying pitches!" and the rest is history.”
Lily Nichols, RDN, CDE Bestselling author, Real Food for Pregnancy; Real Food for Gestational Diabetes

"She really knows the ins and outs of promoting a book in this digital age. Plus she’s always receptive to new ideas."
"I can’t say enough about working with Kelsey Butts and Book Publicity. She delivers results! If you are an author publishing a book- call her immediately. She will get your book in front of readers. From the moment that she read my book in one weekend to her tireless devotion and dedication to supporting me in getting my book out there. She has endless contacts that are ideal for my readers. She researches them and delivers results soon thereafter. I’m thrilled with working with her and highly recommend her!"
Galia Gichon, Author of “The Accidental Suffragist”
-
"Not only does Kelsey find good podcasts for us to join, but she continually comes up with creative suggestions that inspire us."
"It’s been a long journey to publish our book. And finishing the book isn’t the end, in some ways it is the beginning—that’s when the marketing starts. And even though we worked with a very large publisher, the majority of the marketing was left up to us, which is typical. Kelsey is the person who has helped us more than anyone else. In addition, she is on top of things at all times and extremely good at communicating. She has been a delight and if I write another book, she’s the first person I’ll call upon for help."
Jake Eagle, Author of The Power of Awe

When my book launched, her name came to mind and I am so grateful for all of the efforts she has made in my launch! Kelsey is highly organized and I so appreciate how careful she tracked requests, follow ups etc. to stay on top of all aspects of the PR campaign."

I look forward to working with her on all of my books moving forward, and I give her the highest recommendation for any author, whether traditional, self-published, or hybrid.

"I am so glad that I hired Book Publicity Services to publicize my book, "Beyond The Tiger Mom: East-West Parenting for the Global Age."

"Kelsey is a workhorse. I never imagined I would have a publicist who puts so much time and dedication into promoting my work. Kelsey is a PR pro with a keen understanding of the modern book market.
