Helping Authors & Publishers Succeed
To help authors and publishers grow book sales, build author brands, and earn meaningful media exposure through creative, persistent, results-focused book marketing.
For over two decades, Smith Publicity has been the trusted partner for authors seeking real visibility in a crowded marketplace. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all campaigns or hollow promises. Every book is unique, every author deserves a strategy tailored to their specific goals and audience—and every campaign is executed with the creativity and persistence required to cut through the noise.
With 4,500+ books promoted across 26 countries, we've worked with fiction authors, nonfiction writers, poets, children's book creators, and university presses. We understand the publishing landscape—from traditional houses to self-published independents—and we know what it takes to earn media coverage, build author platforms, and ultimately, drive book sales.
