Even the most beautifully written and designed book succeeds only when people hear about it. How do you get the word out there about your new book? You attract attention by approaching all forms of media and promoting your unique message. Five Star's goal is to design and implement a focused and far-reaching public relations plan tailored specifically to the potential audiences of your book.

Publicizing your new book is crucial for two reasons. First, visibility in respected media, such as television, radio, newspapers, magazines, or Internet, creates a sense of credibility for you as an author, and for your book. In other words, if your book's in XYZ Magazine, it must be good!

Second, in order for a book to succeed, it must be distributed nationally. National distributors want to represent books that have public relations support to create visibility and exposure, which in turn can help to boost sales. Five Star will place your book with a national distributor, and support it with a strong public relations campaign.

With so many voices clamoring to be heard, the media is continually inundated with requests for interviews from authors, experts, product representatives, and the like. Five Star will develop a creative and compelling "pitch" for your book that will catch the attention of prominent media. Unlike advertising, where you pay for ad space or time in the media, public relations efforts are requests for coverage, and the results are unpredictable. However, the credibility of public relations far outreaches the message of a paid advertisement.

While Five Star cannot guarantee specific public relations placements, our track record speaks for itself. Our skilled efforts have resulted in coverage in prominent media, including CNN.com, BBC London, CBC Marketplace (Canadian Broadcast System), "60 Minutes", FOX News, Ladies Home Journal, The Wall Street Journal, Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine, the Associated Press, US Air magazine, Publishers Weekly, Choice, Small Press, The Denver Post, The Arizona Republic, NEA Today, the Midwest Book Review, C-Span2 Book TV, the Howard Stern Show, the Dr. Toni Grant Show, and many more.
