PR For Books are efficient

PR For Books are efficient, proactive and, very professional. They were able to secure media exposure and press coverage for my book in The Sun, The Table Read Magazine, and other media outlets in a short period of time. I am very pleased with their services.

Exceptional PR Service – Professional, Effective, and Highly Recommended!

PR for Books provided outstanding support with the press releases for both of my books. Their service is truly excellent—highly professional, efficient, and of the highest quality.

With my very first press release, I received positive responses within the first week, which was absolutely amazing! The team’s expertise and dedication made a significant impact, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

I highly recommend PR for Books to any author looking for top-tier publicity and professional press release services. Thank you so much for your fantastic work!

I’m excited for my second press release to go out for my latest book and can’t wait to see the results!

Great service and quick response from Nicholas, who provided detailed information throughout the process. As a first-time author, I’ve felt very positive about their support and guidance. The experience so far has been smooth and professional, and I appreciate their efforts in promoting my book. I look forward to seeing more results at a later stage, but based on my experience so far, I would definitely recommend their services!

Great experience

I used several time PR for Books services and that was effective and very qualitative.
It creates many opportunities such as radio interviews, podcast and articles in different countries.
I could only recommend PR for Books.

Nicholas and his team were very easy to deal with from the outset. While I appreciate no PR is ever guaranteed this is a great way for unknown authors to get their name across the desks of people who might be able to help elevate their book. The price of this service is so competitive it is rude to ignore the opportunity!

Featured on BBC television, Radio and online news!

I reached out to PRforbooks to help spread the word about my book 'The Other Trench'. The initial press release was great and really made the unique aspects of my book stand out. After a few weeks of only a few emails, I contacted PRforbooks and decided to tweak the supporting email, which included the press release, to make it more personal and help catch the reader's attention.
After 2 days of sending it out again, I was contacted by the BBC in the UK, who ended up headlining one of the unique stories from my book on regional TV news! They also wrote an online article which featured my book, and I was invited for a radio interview. My book website received 2000 visitors in just a week. With my book being self-published, I sold a significant number of books just from this, and the sales are still 5x higher per day a few weeks later than they initially were before all this. People from military magazines and other groups have contacted me too as a result, so it has had a positive domino effect.

I do keep in mind that my book is not for everyone and that not all who received the press release will be interested. My book is now available in Germany, and I am certainly excited to see what may happen when they help me send the press release out there.

I wouldn't have been featured on BBC News and sold so many books if it wasn't for PRforbooks. I can therefore only give 5 stars! Thank you.

Dear Philipp,

Thank you very much for the kind review - much appreciated.

We are delighted to see that BBC News ran the story and of the radio interview.

Your book is both interesting and tells quite a unique story and I hope there will be further interest from the media both here and overseas.

Many thanks
Nicholas

My novel was gathering dust ...

My novel was gathering dust in the back alleys of Amazon Kindle, with a number of good reviews under its belt but no real traffic. I'd resigned myself to the marketing mechanisms within Kindle but these had severe limitations. It was obvious that I needed the help of a PR company. This is when I found PR for Books. (prforbooks.co.uk). This company has many connections in the literary world, newspapers, magazines etc and will write a compelling promotional script to send out to these bodies. They can also produce a short trailer (at a very modest price) to give a high octane kick to this publicity. I was blown over by their professionalism and extremely reasonable costs and am currently hoping that their strategies will reap the results that we authors all crave.

Dear Thomas,

Thank you very much for your kind review. It's always nice to work on a book that has an interesting and unusual plot such as your's does.

We will continue our efforts to garner interest from the media in the months to come.

Thanks and regards

Silence doesn't come cheap.

I employed PR for Books to assist me with publicity and promotion of my novel 'Maria Novotna' A love story that mirrors the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. This was at the beginning of September this year. So far I have received Nil response from anyone despite its claimed global reach, Nil interest from reviewers, Nil interest from the media, Nil coverage in journals, and as far as I'm aware Nil interest from doctors waiting rooms. Worst still, absolutely no contact from PR for books themselves. In fact I had to check one day to make sure I wasn't dead. As they say 'Silence is Golden'

Naturally, we are sorry to hear your feedback but we do not feel this is a very fair review. You were informed on September 16th that, to arrange the October part of the campaign, you need to email us a day or so before you would like this scheduled. You did not email us at all and have not since?. In addition, we did secure a magazine article for you and we sent the link to the article on the same day (16th September at 11.50). So your comments are not correct. You informed me today that you either cannot remember or have not seen both of these emails so I have resent the link to the article as well as both of my original emails to you again today so that you can see these were sent as I have mentioned. Best regards Nicholas

A brilliant and speedy service

A brilliant and speedy service. I've been writing books for a few years now and Glenn and his team have always been my go to. They turn around releases and tweaks very quickly and I've managed to secure top tier media coverage of my books through their service in both the UK and US. Would definitely use again, and again.

Avoid PR for Books – A Waste of Time and Money As a first-time author

As a first-time author, I had high hopes for PR for Books, but I was thoroughly disappointed. The press release they provided needed a lot of work, and I found myself editing it multiple times to try and sell my own book – which was supposed to be their job. The release itself was a letdown. After it was sent out, I received a backlog of emails from people they claimed to be targeting. However, most of these contacts had nothing to do with books or the theme of my book. To make matters worse, many emails bounced back, saying the recipients no longer worked at the companies, which proves they have no real connections and are simply spamming.

I ended up doing a better job on my own, even getting a spot on BBC Kent radio without their help. It was a complete waste of £195, and I absolutely would not recommend their services to anyone. Save your money and do it yourself! AVOID.

Thank you for your feedback but you do not mention any details of yourself or the book so I am unable to respond fully which I would very much like to do. I have requested this information via Trustpilot so hopefully will be able to provide you with a proper response as soon as I am furnished with the information. I would point out that we have an excellent track record and are used by many of the UK's leading publishers, some of which have used us over 100 times. Some books will always be more challenging to promote than others but we will always try our very best for all authors.

We have been using PR for Books for… 4 years

We have been using PR for Books for many years, and they handle all our book press releases. Naturally, there are no guarantees that any press release will attract the attention and pick-up of media (and that can be for a whole host of reasons), but PR for Books does a top job in ensuring maximum reach, and their customer service is first class. Highly recommended.

A great company to deal with

A friendly and efficient operation which publicised my book, 'Anton Bruckner a genius emerges', worldwide. It is now selling well, thanks to PRforbooks, and several reviews are near to being published, also thanks to this great company! I'll use them for my next novel

Great service and international reach for 'There is no Second'

I published my book 'There is no Second' back in May 2024 and PRforbooks were the perfect partner, enabling me to reach a wide, international audience and yield some impossibly good PR in national newspapers (La Stampa in particular) and multiple trade publications in the nautical sector. My team were super professional, incredibly responsive and helpful. I could no have succeeded without PRfor Books assistance.

One star for effort

One star for effort. Should have taken notice of other one star reviews. Press Release was sent. That was all. With so many millions of books out there, newspapers must be getting fed up with press releases. I expected this company to promote my book ‘Dangerous Lovers’ on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, and similar online sites. Won’t use again.

I am sorry to hear that the media did not show interest in your memoir. With PR it is impossible to guarantee media coverage as I had previously informed you. A great deal will depend on what the media think about the book itself. As you will see we have an excellent track record with many repeat clients as well as many publishers who use us on a regular basis and our results are outstanding. That said, PR is never a 'one size fits all' situation.
You were informed from the first communication what we include in our package. At no time was social media included and it would be impossible to do so at the price you paid.

PR for Books is exceptional.

PR for Books is exceptional.
The service provided is complete value for money and Nicholas was always on the end of an email to answer any questions, keep me in the loop on progress and update me on successful bites for my book.
Nicholas's work in helping to recognise my book secured me my first ever American radio interview and there are other potential interviews lined up.
PR for Books has been a fantastic find. I highly recommend them and will not hesitate to work with them again
