Helping Writers and Thinkers Build Influence in the 21st Century
Book Publicity, Platform Strategy, and Branding for Authors, Academics, and Public Thinkers
You’ve written something worth sharing—now let’s make sure it gets seen, heard, and remembered.
Punctuation PR is a strategic marketing and publicity agency for authors, scholars, journalists, and public intellectuals. We specialize in long-term visibility for nonfiction writers, literary authors, academics, and newsletter creators looking to expand their platform and reach new audiences.
Whether you’re publishing your debut novel, launching a Substack, or promoting your academic research, we help your work gain the visibility it deserves.
Not Just a Publicist—A Strategic Growth Partner for Your Creative Career
We don’t just promote your latest project—we help shape the path of your creative career. At Punctuation PR, we build lasting visibility through book launches, podcast placements, and thoughtful media outreach that gets your work in front of the right people.
For academics, we turn complex research into public-facing narratives—whether that means placing op-eds, booking interviews, or building a website that reflects your expertise. For authors, essayists, and thought leaders, we offer practical support to grow your platform: launching newsletters, refining your message, landing speaking opportunities, and building an online presence that aligns with your voice and vision.
But visibility is just the start. We offer editorial support to strengthen your story, strategic guidance to navigate your next steps, and opportunity sourcing—from fellowships and grants to awards and media features—that moves your work forward.
Whether you're self-published, traditionally published, or still querying, we help you define your voice, expand your reach, and build a platform—and career— that lasts.
