Scout Literary Media

Four to six months before your book's publication, we will get galleys made and sent to publications with a longer lead time, such as Publisher's Weekly, Library Journal, and Booklist. Shortly before the book's publication, we will prepare a review copy letter and media list to send review copies to and a press release and press release media list.  Upon the book's publication, we will work with your publisher to send the review copies or send them directly from our office. At the same time, we will distribute your press release and handle all resulting media inquiries. Over a period of time determined by you (usually 3 to 12 months), we will write and distribute two to six different press releases. Other options include posting press releases on the wires, like PRNewswire and BusinessWire, and monitoring Profnet for additional media opportunities for you.

Scout Literary Media can handle any publicity writing needs you have from a press release to a galley letter to a press kit and much more.

Have you or your publishing company already sent out review copies or a press release and you do not have time to follow-up with the media contacts who received them? Scout Literary Media can take on that timely duty for you.

Social media is integral to garnering attention for you and your book. We can create a social media campaign for an author or book or help with a single component of a social media campaign, such as helping set-up and write a blog and website, filming and distributing videos, writing and distributing a social media press release, preparing the tools necessary to get attention in this realm (videos, photos, articles, etc.), and pitching to bloggers. Social media is an exciting new world, and these are just a few examples of what we can do for you.
