Distribute my launchfrom $74.99Readers Google your name before they buy your book.
“Is [author name] worth reading?” “What did [author] write before [book]?” “Has [author] been reviewed anywhere credible?” These are the questions readers Google before they hit “buy” on Amazon — and the answers come from indexed news coverage. Authors with a library of press hits show up. Authors without one don't.
A single release, distributed to our full 300+ network with a PDF pickup report listing every outlet that picked it up, is the cheapest piece of permanent credibility infrastructure an author can buy. It's not journalist pickup — it's a stamped, dated press hit with permalinks you can point anyone to.
Here's how authors use it.
Share your news
Book launch, podcast premiere, speaking engagement, milestone (bestseller list, 10K copies sold, foreign rights deal). 300–800 words, one cover image, 15 minutes to prepare.
We publish where readers research
Google News (official source), DigitalJournal, TV websites, 300+ trusted news sites. Your release becomes a permanent press hit indexed to your name — the kind that shows up when someone Googles you before buying.
You get the proof
Within 24 hours, a PDF pickup report listing every outlet that picked up your release, with permalinks. We can't promise journalist pickup or that Google indexes any specific release — but you get a full refund if we reject your release.

Author questions, answered.
In two ways. First, your release is distributed to Google News and 300+ news sites — the surface that appears when readers, hosts, or event organizers Google your name. Second, it lives permanently as a dated press hit your media kit can link to. We can't promise Google indexes any specific release, but a library of press coverage is what makes an author easy to find.
Also built for: Founders & startups · E-commerce brands · SEO agencies
Ready to show up when readers Google your name?
One release. Distributed across 300+ news sites in under 24 hours, with a PDF pickup report listing every outlet that picked it up.
P.S. Most authors don't realize their Google results are their credibility. A reader Googling you before buying gets a few seconds of impression — make sure that impression isn't a thin Amazon page and a Goodreads link.
