“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. Kelsey has taken a lot of work off my plate so I can focus in my zone of genius.”

Throughout our relationship Kelsey has never failed to answer my questions or follow through with my requests both promptly and professionally. In short, I can recommend Kelsey and Book Publicity Services without reservations.”
— Ed Duncan, Author of Pigeon-Blood Red

I have been given opportunities to speak with so many people about my book that I otherwise would not have had.

“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. Not only does she find good podcasts for us to join, but she continually comes up with creative suggestions that inspire us. 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.”

Together we targeted the who’s who of the wine industry where my novel is set along with all of the relevant influencers and Kelsey quickly grasped my world and the book’s target audience. I received a lot of great reviews and Kelsey was fantastic at approaching, tracking, and chasing everyone we approached. I look forward to working with Kelsey again on my next wine thriller where we will hit the ground running with all the groundwork laid out in front of us.”

“Book Marketing is not easy and is often very time-consuming. Yes, you can write blogs and articles, share chapters, and send books out for reviews, but securing seasoned podcasts is now the name of the game for a new book.
I initially hesitated to spend the additional money, as I have hired help in this area with little results for my other books. Still, I knew this access and reach was instrumental for new books and often depends on your visibility, network, and message.
I am thrilled to share that Kelsey has tripled my exposure with my new book. With numerous opportunities, podcast invites, and book reviews, my book is now global!
Kelsey and I worked together every week. As she created and shared opportunities for my book, I was busy shipping out books, scheduling podcasts, and sharing content. We hustled and made an effective team.
I am so fortunate to have found Kelsey, as her experience, connections, network, personality, and work ethic are fantastic.
Thank you Kelsey for extending my reach and sharing a piece of my work that means so much to me.”
-JJ DiGeronimo, Award-Winning Author
