Press Shop PR helps authors and publishers get high-profile media coverage for their books.

We have an extensive list of journalist contacts, a deep understanding of today's media landscape, and expertise in writing effective book pitches. We use these elements—plus a lot of hard work and tenacity—to line up reviews, interviews, profiles, excerpts, op-eds, and other types of press attention for authors and their books.

We’re honored to have worked on MARCH by the late Representative John Lewis and on Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s final book JUSTICE, JUSTICE THOU SHALT PURSUE.

We specialize in books about democracy, progressive politics, history, science and technology, higher ed, workplace issues, feminism, social justice, food policy, environmental issues, parenting, Judaism, and more. We also work on select literary fiction, memoirs, and essay collections.

Over a dozen Press Shop clients have returned to work with us on subsequent books.
