Top 10 Book Press Release Distribution Services for Authors



Here’s a harsh truth of the writing world: no matter how much effort you put into honing your craft and fine tuning your work, it won’t count for much if next to nobody lays their eyes on the finished product. Think about the last time you bought a book — did you see it on the shelves in a bookstore and buy it on impulse, or did you hear/read/learn about the title before you even considered making the purchase?



If the second option applies, you can thank someone’s marketing efforts for your decision.

Traditionally, publishing companies handled publicity for authors, running traditional advertising campaigns for new titles and using their connections with the media to get the word out. But the world is changing, with an increasing number of writers opting for the self-publishing route to have greater control over their work (and share less of the profits).

This can be a liberating choice, but it also means authors have to handle everything themselves — from cover art to formatting to publicity. Today, we’re here to discuss that last point. You don’t need to be a fancy publisher with existing links to journalists to get featured in the press; if you can attract their attention with a solid press release, everything else will be taken care of.

Here are the ten best book press release distribution services and sites for authors to ensure that your magnus opus gets the attention it deserves.
