This site is published by C.S. Lewis & Co. Publicists, a small book publicity firm that creates customized media campaigns for authors and publishers.
It is one of a small number of websites the firm publishes. This one exists for authors and publishers with a book launching soon, and explains how an outside publicity campaign can complement a publisher's in-house work. The firm's main website is cslewispublicity.com.
Cathy Lewis, president, and David C. Lewis, vice president. Cathy spent seven years as an in-house publicist at publishing houses before founding the firm in 1994. David helps authors focus their messaging through podcasts, radio, television, and contributor roles.
Cathy's sharply focused, issue-oriented campaigns blend classic and new media. Her authors have reached the Wall Street Journal and New York Times bestseller lists, and she helps clients become regular bloggers at sites such as Huffington Post, Forbes.com, Inc.com, and PsychologyToday.com.
David helps authors establish their brand through interviews and appearances on podcasts, radio, and television, and by becoming contributors at sites such as Thrive Global, Forbes.com, Chief Executive, and PsychologyToday.com. He lives in Woodstock, New York.
The firm's longest-serving staff member does most of her best work lying down.
