Disappointed

I paid around £300 to prforbooks to promote my children' book based on a character called Charlie Ant.
All I got was lots of 'away from office' emails from people that were very unlikely to be interested in the first instance.
Don't waste your money is my advice

Received your review Andy and naturally we are also disappointed that the media did not show more interest in your book. PR companies cannot force publications to feature or review a book. It is always down to the publications themselves to decide which books interest them or not. The feedback that we received was that your book did not offer anything different or unique to set it out from the crowd. As you are aware the children's book market is hugely competitive and somewhat crowded. Whilst family and friends may feel the book is great, the media can be a tougher crowd to impress.
I am sorry that we were not able to secure features on this but we did our very best and I wish you well for the future.

The service paid for itself many times over

I highly recommend Prforbooks. I am a first time author and from the first press release I had a lot of interest. I even had the offer of an exclusive, with payment (although I turned this down). I instead opted for several outlets, including Mailonline. The spike in sales from their article dwarfed the exclusive offer and paid for the press release many times over. I am so pleased I chose them.

Great PR helped launch my book!

Employing Glenn and his team has been a wise decision. His contacts have been invaluable and given up some great leads. The book (Cull 2031) is starting to build real profile and was hailed as one the Top Ten Environmental Books of 2021, again thanks to a contact that came through prforbooks.
Thoroughly recommend these guys. Nick

I am sorry to hear that the media did not show interest in your book 'The Other Side of Islam' so far. You have chosen to publish and promote the book in the peak of the Christmas book sales period where there are many thousands of extra books competing for attention. I did make this quite clear to you by email. You were delighted with the press release and thanked our staff for their work. It is possible that the media may have taken more interest outside of the Christmas book sales peak period and I did try to make this clear to you but you insisted on wanting the PR sent out ASAP which is what we did at your request,

Not worth it

I submitted my book to this company. I had to write a press release. What they do is circulate various email addresses and if you're lucky, one or two might respond. For nearly £300, I think the money could be better spent. I regret using these people.

We are sorry to hear that the media interest in your book was not as you had anticipated. However, every book is different and so will be the appeal and interest.

Your book 'Best Eaten Cold' is a WW2 novel and whilst it certainly has appeal, it's audience will be somewhat niche which will have some bearing on the take up by journalists and reviewers. I note from our emails that there was indeed some interest from some review sites via our service who requested review copies from you.

You mention that you wrote the release but this is not actually correct as one of our professional writers created the initial release. The writer has been responsible for many hundreds of press articles for books over the years. However, you decided to rewrite and supply your version of the release for us to use.

With all due respect the vast majority of authors are wonderful writers but are not marketeers and being so close to a project having written the book are not always the best placed to decide how best promote it. I believe using our initial press release would have been more beneficial.

We enjoy a very good track record and have done so for many years but of course in PR there is no magic wand. I wish you all the very best with the book and am sorry things did not work out as well as had been hoped.

For immediate results, use Prforbooks.

After achieving limited success in trying to promote our latest publication, 'Great English Tales - from history and legend', I contacted Prforbooks and in a short time there I was with co-author, Martyn Ford, appearing on ITV Meridian local news. Prforbooks worked with me to get the press release just right and to make an immediate impact. I'd thoroughly recommend them to authors and publishers as Prforbooks clearly have very good contacts in the media.

The best thing I did to publicise my book

I'm so happy that I approached PR for Books. I have had a good amount of media interest within a short time, including an interview in a US online magazine and a double page feature in the Irish Independent this week. PR for Books really know who to contact and are prompt, quick responders, efficient and always on the ball. They are also a real pleasure to work with.

A very worthwhile investment

Didn't know what to expect as my publisher had previously circulated a press release with negligible results. However was pleasantly surprised with PRforbooks' press release as it generated interest from about 5 BBC regional radio stations within 48 hours. I have now been interviewed for approximately 1hr 50 mins on BBC Radio and listened to by 10s of thousands and we can hopefully gain more airtime in the next month or so. A very worthwhile investment.

Worked wonders for me!

Very Happy. Used PRforbooks to promote my book helping people with insomnia (You Can Sleep Too!) I got an article in Authority magazine (which is pretty awesome! - that should open up quite a lot of doors for me as when I contact radio stations etc in the future that will give me instant credibility, it also helped me sell a load of books) Hipandhealthy, fit for joy podcast and a possible editorial review in Devonlife (still in the works) that was after the first submission so I hope to get a load more on the second. So yes, success, and super glad I went wide with Worldwide coverage as that got me my best result with Authority.Only slight niggle was that it took a little back and forth to get the press release right as the first one was reasonably good but not quite there, but they were happy to change it until it was fantastic.

The email elicited not one response

I used PR for Books in May 2021 ("Glenn Louis, Media Sales Manager") to send out a press release that I wrote and he tidied up. Unfortunately he didn't show me the email header which described me as a "former" scout leader which was incorrect. I only found out when one of the auto-acknowledge emails came to me with the original email press release attached.
The email elicited not one response and when I contacted Glenn after several weeks to inform him of this (I had heard nothing from him in the meantime) he replied, "Naturally, not [sic] PR company can force publications to feature or a [sic] review a book as it will always be up to the publications themselves to decide which books interest them or not. That said, I am surprised there has been so little interest." (Er, NO interest.) He said that I was entitled to a total of three emails although the original email exchange only mentioned two.
Repeat emails were sent out at the beginning of September and the beginning of October. From the three emails I had no response whatsoever. Not one.
The book that was being emailed about has received interest from several journalists that I have approached myself and it has sold well.
I conclude that PR for Books ("UK’s Number 1 Book PR Specialist") and the slightly anonymous Glenn Louis send out to blanket email addresses and cross their fingers. Some customers may get a response, I would contend that many don't.
In his original email Glenn Louis wrote, "Our service is professional, fast, very low cost and most importantly it works! If you would like to see our most recent testimonials please let me know as we receive many new ones every month. Recently we gained one client a huge spread in The Daily Mail within hours of sending out the PR. Click on the link below to hear her talk about her success with PR For Books in the first minute of a recent radio interview:
[link removed]"
Unsurprisingly "Recently" refers to a book, "A Man is not a Financial Plan" that was published in 2015 and the link doesn't work.
The company's website carries no postal address and has no social media links.

Sorry to hear that you did not have any interest from the media with your book but as I have mentioned to you throughout the process no PR company can, or will guarantee coverage. Expectations need to be realistic and must take into account the levels of the potential appeal of each book. Your book is extremely niche and so will be it's potential appeal which makes its promotion more challenging than the vast majority of books.

You say in your review that you had interest from journalists yourself but I cannot see any single article that have arisen from such 'apparent' interest. Very happy to re-edit my reply if you can provide evidence otherwise.

Your references to communications are also not accurate.

I am not sure of the issue with link of 2015 you refer to but there are many many links of articles available from this 2021 and before. Obviously if one particular link does not work that is totally beyond our control.

Having been in business for nearly twenty years our service has been invaluable to many authors and an ever-growing number of major publishing houses who know and understand the industry very well. Of course, we cannot wave a magic wand on every single book which seems to be something you are asking.

Again, I would be very interested to see evidence of the interest you have mentioned from journalists you have contacted yourself as nothing at all is coming up on my media article searches. This re-affirms that the interest in your particular book does not have the wide appeal that you assume.
