About this Gig
Your book is ready. Does your press release actually make anyone care?
Most book launch press releases read like a form letter title, genre, "available now," done. I write ones that actually give a journalist or blogger a reason to cover it, built specifically for indie and self-published authors who don't have a publisher's PR team doing this thinking for them.
Here's what's included:
- Press release written around an actual angle, not just an announcement
- Author bio short, sharp, written to sit alongside the release, not bolted on after
- Pitch angle a reason someone would actually want to write about your book, not just list it
- Book publicity positioned for the outlets and readers your genre actually reaches
I focus on indie authors specifically because your launch doesn't come with a marketing department it comes down to whether this document actually gets read past the first line.
Message me before ordering tell me about your book and who it's for, and I'll tell you honestly what angle will actually land.

FAQ
What makes this different from a generic press release gig?
Most gigs write the announcement. I write the reason someone would actually cover it — genre, angle, why now. That's the part most $5 gigs skip entirely.
Do I need to have a publisher, or does this work for self-published books?
Built specifically for self-published and indie authors — that's the whole point. No publisher PR team required.
What's actually in the "pitch angle" part of Premium?
A short framing — why a blogger, podcaster, or journalist in your genre would want to talk about this book specifically, not just list it.
Can you write the author bio to match the tone of my book?
Yes — I write the bio to sit alongside the release as one voice, not a stiff corporate bio bolted onto a book announcement.
Will this guarantee media coverage?
No one can guarantee that honestly. What I can guarantee is a release that gives you an actual shot, instead of one that gets skimmed and ignored.
Do you also distribute the press release to media outlets?
Not in this gig — that's Gig 3 (Distribution). This one is the writing and positioning; pair it with distribution if you want both.
What genres do you write for?
Any — fiction, nonfiction, self-help, memoir. Tell me the genre and I'll shape the angle to fit where that audience actually pays attention.
How long is the press release?
Up to 5000 words, which is the standard length distribution sites and journalists expect — long enough to say something, short enough to get read.
Can I request changes if the angle doesn't feel right?
Yes — 1 revision on Basic, 2 on Standard, 3 on Premium.
What do you need from me to get started?
Basic info about your book, genre, who it's for, and anything you think is genuinely interesting about why you wrote it — I'll shape the angle from there.
