They’ve only been working with me for a short while, but I’ve already had some very interesting contacts.
A special thank you to Nicholas and a big hug to the whole team.

Exceeded my expectations!

I appointed this PR Company to handle the publicity of my book, and the campaign launched on 1 June 2026. Already, I'm featured in two well known, far reaching publications.

The articles capture all the points that I wanted communicated, yet I can see how the team's strategic input has elevated the message far beyond what I could have achieved independently.

I'm confident that my book sales will increase as a direct result of their work, and I'm excited to see where they take the campaign next.

So, for those seeking PR support that delivers with such a great attention to detail, I highly recommend PRforbooks.

Thank you Nicholas and the team for a start that has exceeded my expectations! More please:}

EXCELLENT SERVICE AND GOOD VALUE

As a US author, I wanted to find a way to promote my books in the UK.

I was recommended PR For Books by another US-based author who had used them several times, and I'm really happy that I found them.

Nicholas and his team were excellent from start to finish and produced a powerful PR that garnered good media interest, which I could never have done on my own.

I've been impressed that they have always been very quick to respond in person, very helpful and easily accessible which is rare in this new 'AI' obsessed world we live in. The quality of their work has been fantastic and their fee is more than reasonable.

I highly recommend this company and will be using them again.

Scam Site , Avoid at all costs

This is a scam site which lures writers with all sorts of false promises but does not have any spine. They have fictitious connections and leads and frequently pretend to forget when they have no expertise and no intention of helping and its all a façade. They promise and peddle a 3 month media campaign, the only media presence they have is their own ads to lure paying clients. My advice, avoid at all costs

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately on this occasion the media did not show interest in your book book apart from one feature in a magazine. Whilst we have a great track record and have been successfully gaining coverage for our clients for over 20 years some books will, of course, be more challenging than others. Our many five-star reviews, repeat customers and regular publishing house clients who use us time and again speak for themselves.

Avoid at all costs

Avoid at all costs. As soon as you contact them, within minutes you receive very convincing spiel, along with some examples of their 'successes' and as soon as you agree you're asked for your bank details. But you're promised a three month campaign in the press and social media and that they work with you along the way. The first press release I received was pretty amateurish but I put it down to being a first draft. In the meantime I made a few changes to my blurb and sent it to them but received nothing. I emailed again and nothing. Then I emailed the day before publication (a bit late for reviews) and I received an email saying my other ones had gone in the spam. I then receive a still rather amateurish press release that they promised to send to all major publications. I have heard nothing and i'm not surprised. I have also since found out all they do is spam newspapers and magazines and it gets ignored. £195 isn't a huge amount of money but I would have been better printing off copies and sending out to ARC readers.

The start of a great journey.

I would just like to thank Nicholas and the rest of his team for the advise and the help they have given me so far. Everything was explained very clearly and every question answered without confusing answers. If you need to get your book noticed, then these are the people you need.

PR for Books Provides an Excellent Service

From initial enquiry to my liaison with Nicholas at PR for Books, my experience has been superb. Their production of the Press Release was efficient and effective allowing me to make additional inputs. The resulting publicity has been great. The Devil’s Magus was featured in The Table Reads, a couple of Newspapers and I was interviewed on Radio Cornwall. Highly recommended!

I’m so glad I found PR for Books

I’m so glad I found PR for Books. I had been searching for the right partner for a while, and I’ve finally found them. From my initial enquiry to the launch of my campaign, everything happened quickly and smoothly.
Before working with them, I felt hidden and struggled to get my book noticed. Within just one day, my book began appearing in web searches and on excellent platforms I would never have discovered on my own. Most importantly, the team at PR for Books truly understands their customers. They crafted a fantastic press release that captured exactly what I wanted to convey.
On top of that, their service offers excellent value for money compared to other companies. I am genuinely impressed and highly recommend them.

Nicholas Johann and PRforBooks! Wow - what an outfit!

I dealt with Nicholas Johann. He was brilliant. He explained what they provided at PRforBooks, including the fees, and how they worked. I decided to go ahead. Within a couple of emails they had provided an outline press release which was written excellently and portrayed my books superbly, proving they had been read and enjoyed. I told him to go ahead, and he did, quickly!

He was always quick to act, and within 24 hours I'd had three book companies interested! I'm replying to them now.

Super bloke, super company!

Targeted Book Advertising!

Targeted Book Advertising to Those that matter.
I must say that I was blown away with PR4books. In three short days, Nicholas and his team, together with a wonderful review on my book resulted in a super response most authors only dream of.
I think their method of being genre focused on informing Book clubs to news articles is key to this company's success.
This is the second and not the last time I will use their expertise.
Thanks guys for a brilliant job!

Press Release for historical novel The Nightingale of Bath

I am delighted to give prforbooks the 5-star review that the company fully deserves. Nicholas could not have been more helpful and imaginative in his highly professional, supportive and patient management of my press release campaign. A key element in the success of our project was his linking to the video yourbooktrailer. He covered a wide range of media outlets, which, within 4 hours of its release, has resulted in significant coverage. The written content of his release was accurate and excellently worded. Throughout this process, I was reliant upon his experience regarding content and timings. The press release that he has created is impressive and beautiful.

I am a writer

I am a writer, and I know absolutely nothing about promoting my finished book, so I looked on the Google listing, to see if a promotion service was available. I was impressed by the PR for books website, so I took a deep breath and phoned them. I was greeted, and put through to a guy named Nicholas, who explained their book launch service to me. It is just as I wanted, and the actual press release has been terrific. For what they have done for me, the cost has been very reasonable, and I will certainly be using them again. I would have no hesitation in recommending them for their PR service.

Great value. Brilliant experience so far

PR for books issued a very impressive and professional looking press release for me this morning for my book “The boy with the thorn in his side”. It’s too early to see if the campaign has been successful in terms of gaining people’s interest and sales but I must say that for the price, it’s worth a punt and worth every penny. My experience with this company has been fantastic so far. I can’t thank Nicolas and his team enough and his communication has been outstanding throughout!!

Five Brothers in India

Five Brothers in India
I needed to find help in publisising my book. I received this from PR for Books. Nicholas Johan and his team very quickly replied and got me to explain the three parts of the book and how they fit together. They organised a book trailer and put me in touch with website makers. An excellent experience and a successful one.

Dear John, Thank you very much for your review. It has been a pleasure to work with you on your book. The book is quite unique and deserves all the good attention it is receiving. Many thanks Nicholas.

A trusted partner

I highly recommend this PR firm for anyone looking to make an impact with their writing. They partnered with me on the launch of my first book, and I couldn't have asked for a better team to support me through the process. Their expertise and dedication made a significant difference in the success of my launch. I will definitely be working with them again for future book releases.

Early days, but very happy so far.

It’s early days in the PR campaign for my book The Lampmaker so it's too early to gauge effectiveness but there have already been a couple of very good articles online. I have been impressed by the company’s friendly, personal service, professionalism, responsiveness and value for money.
