Overview
My clients get exposure on ITV daytime and in the mainstream press (the Times, Telegraph, Indendent, Daily Mail). I get clients onto top podcasts, paid bookings as a speaker and various promotional events. I don't just do the marketing that gets book sales, I also do the marketing that secures the publishing deal. After 40 years in television I have the contacts in tv and the press to open doors for a client that otherwise would not be accessible. Most PR strategies only achieve social metrics. My strategies achieve mainstream exposure, and that creates the social metrics. I've secured publishing deals for 4 books, a publishing deal for a 5th book end of the year, and have 3 other books currently with an agent, with two under consideration by a publisher.
I speak regularly to publishers and have the latest intel on what they are looking for.
I'm an award winning journalist, trained on Fleet Street (Daily Star) and have written for Authors Society, Yachting Monthly, Superyacht, Broadcast, Televisual, and Ringing World. PR for my own work can be seen on BBC, Times, Televisual, Telegraph and Independent.
High profile authors I have worked with include:-
Dr Bruce Fogle (world's best selling vet and author of 53 books). I took the manuscript to Northcote (agents) who sold the book to Harper Collins. Script rights initially taken by me and then by Hat Trick and later C5.
Andrew Morton. I worked on Morton's book Tom Cruise - an unauthorised biography, and his best selling book Diana, Her True Story.
The Worlds Most Evil Men sold by me to Michael O’Mara publishing. I sold a tv series based on the book to C5. Royalties from that kind of deal are of course huge.
Currently on television is Dr Alka Patel. As my client she was on ITV’s Good Morning Britain and This Morning, plus features in the Mail, Times etc. There is a book deal secured with a very high advance for an unpublished author.

I promoted this first-time author Miranda Twiss and secured the publishing deal. I sold the book the O'Mara publishing and got the author interviewed on BBC Radio 4 and local radio stations and regional BBC. The book rights were picked up by Channel 5 and Unicorn Tv produced two television series based on the book. The book went into several print runs and was very successful for Miranda and O'Mara.
Annie's Cancer Companion - Author Annie Matthews - Publisher Singing Dragon
I helped this new author, Annie Matthews by shaping her book and helping to achieve a publishing deal with Singing Dragon. . The book is an A-Z of Treatments, Therapies and Healing. I then promoted the book. Anni was interviewed on Lorraine Kelly, and got coverage in local press and regional magazines. She was on regional radio morning shows throughout the UK and at targetted speaker events. The book was partnered by the Penny Brohn Cancer Care.
Call The Vet - by Bruce Fogle - publisher - Harper Collins
I was shown the latest manuscript by best selling author and vet Bruce Fogle. A 1970's social history of London life as a vet. I helped the author get a publishing deal and to publicise the book. I took it to an agent who then sold the book to Harper and Collins. The book was released during Covid so author interviews were restricted - it was reviewed in the Telegraph and the script rights were taken up by Unicorn Tv, and then taken up by Hat Trick and Channel 5. A television series based on the book is in development.
