Author Speakers
From Page to Stage
Integrating PR and speaking opportunities to proactively promote your book, grow your network and share your story.
Be more than just a name on a database.
We’re not a traditional speaker bureau – we’re your behind the scenes team, booking you on the events that atter most to your message. Whether its high-profile industry conference, a curated panel, or a virtual summit with your target audience, every opportunity we secure is designed to amplify your book, promote your business and build your reputation as a speaker. These appearances form an integrated part of your PR campaign, helping you get seen, head and remembered. And if your long-term goal is paid keynotes or speaker bureau representation, we’ll help you get the video assets, experience and exposure needed to get there.
Make your Words Count
In an AI-driven world, real human connection cuts through the noise – boosting your influence, raising your profile, and putting your book in the spotlight. We integrate speaking opportunities with your book PR campaign to build long-term authority and position you as a credible, influential voice in your field.
Turn Your Book into a Stage-Worthy Brand
A great book opens doors—but speaking gets you in the room. Speaking engagements amplify your voice, expand your audience, and position you as a living, breathing extension of your message. Whether you’re on a panel or headlining a festival, your book becomes a powerful calling card.
We Don’t Just Book You - We Build Buzz Around You
We go beyond pitching you to events. We help you show up as an exciting, high-impact speaker. That means PR around your appearance, media tie-ins, and making sure each talk fuels your long-term visibility and book success. Speaking becomes not just a platform – but a campaign.
Reach Readers, Clients, and Connectors All at Once
From literary festivals to business conferences, the stage is a unique space where you can inspire future readers, attract new clients, and meet influential contacts. Whether you’re selling books, building your brand, or both, speaking makes every appearance count
Every Organisation Wants a Story - You’ve Already Written One
Companies, events, and institutions are hungry for compelling stories that connect and inspire. As an author, you bring a ready-made narrative and credibility. Who better to speak to themes like leadership, change, resilience, or creativity than someone who’s written the book on it?
Amplify
From Page to Press—Building Your Authority Fast.
Haven’t written your book yet?
No Problem. When PR needs a book, we can help you create your very own Pitch Book – a focussed book built to help your PR.
This service isn’t about delivering PR for your book—it’s about creating a book for your PR. If you want major media coverage and speaking opportunities but don’t have a book, or need another on a timely, newsworthy topic to maximise PR opportunities and “own” the topic, we’ll work with you to create a short, powerful Pitch Book that opens doors and builds your authority.
Own your message, lead the conversation, and get booked—fast. Creating a short, focused book can help you publish timely ideas quickly, position yourself as the go-to expert, and create a powerful, shareable asset for journalists, clients, and speaker bookers. As a spin-off from an existing book, or something brand new, an ideal pitch book is:
Your Pitch Book is fully integrated into your PR campaign to build momentum before the book is published, to create a media buzz around launch and then provide you with a powerful ‘business card’ to share with journalists, speaker bookers, and potential clients, creating opportunities long after the book it published.
Talk to us about how to publish your Pitch Book – the ultimate PR tool for creating impactful PR and building maximum authority.

The Book Publicist team secured an opportunity with a journalist at the Daily Mail which directly led to 500+ book sales in 48 hours, 5 speaking invitations and 42 new client enquiries.

Publishers are great at getting books off the ground but much LESS good at shouting about them. If you want to give your book the oxygen of publicity it deserves, it’s worth investing in longevity. That’s why The Book Publicist exists! Thank you giving me a leg up to the big table.

A dream collaboration from the very start. What stood out immediately was their level of preparation: meticulous, thoughtful, and strategic. Throughout our work together, I felt genuinely supported, like I had a true partner in my corner. The results were beyond what I imagined and many of these placements were dream-come-true moments. They genuinely care about their clients and believe in the messages they help share with the world. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any author who wants to make a meaningful impact. In fact, I already have – and I will continue to do so!

I appointed The Book Publicist to support the launch of my Sunday Times bestselling book Now It All Makes Sense. The team did a brilliant job – securing nearly 50 opportunities, including interviews in The Times, The Sun, Metro, and across BBC radio stations. They secured features in publications such as HuffPost, Fast Company, Entrepreneur, Raconteur and Evening Standard. A highlight for me was the interview for BBC Radio 4’s Gap Finders – I had so many lovely messages in response and it was great to see my podcast and book shoot up the charts immediately.
