Rebecca Simon is a public relations and marketing communications strategist with over 20 years of experience. She believes that self-published authors deserve the same professional publicity support as traditionally published authors.
She helps authors navigate the often confusing world of book promotion with clear strategies, compelling press materials, and targeted media outreach. She crafts press releases that tell your book's story, connects you with local bookstores and venues for signings and readings, and handles media outreach on your behalf so you can spend your time writing and engaging with readers instead of wondering what to do next.
Her background spans traditional PR, digital marketing, and strategic communications, providing her with a well-rounded perspective on what actually works. She makes publicity feel approachable, not intimidating, and treats each author's book launch with the strategic attention it deserves.

Local Outreach Campaign
I'll contact bookstores, libraries, and other relevant venues within 20 miles of your location to:

This personal outreach helps you connect with readers in your area and builds word-of-mouth momentum.

Complete Book Launch Package
For authors who want to reach media outlets and reviewers beyond their local community
This comprehensive package is designed to create visibility during those crucial first weeks when your book debuts. You'll get everything needed to present yourself professionally to media outlets and maximize your launch impact.
Everything in the Essential Package, PLUS:
Upgrade to 60-Minute Strategy Session:

These materials will be a professional toolkit that you can use long after your launch.
Targeted Media Outreach Campaign
I'll research and create a custom list of 20-30 relevant media outlets for your book—including blogs, online magazines, book reviewers, local newspapers, and TV/radio stations that reach your ideal readers. Then, as your publicist, I will:
Send your press release and media materials directly to editors, producers, and decision-makers
Include a professional pitch introducing you and your book
Facilitate any interview requests or follow-up conversations that result from the outreach
This personal outreach helps you connect with readers in your area and builds word-of-mouth momentum.
Post-Launch Results Report
You'll receive a detailed report showing all media contacts made, responses received, any coverage or interviews secured, and recommendations for next steps.
Why Authors Choose This Package
The first 30-60 days after publication are critical for building momentum. Without media outreach, even excellent books struggle to get
noticed. This package gives you professional representation with media outlets, saves you hours of research and outreach, and positions you as a credible, professional author.
