Why United Press
Built for authors who need real credibility
Media coverage sells books and books bookings. A genuine feature builds the third-party credibility that convinces event organisers and readers alike.
“United Press got our book covered in the right places before launch week.”

about author & speaker PR
Do you work with self-published authors?

Can you time coverage to my book launch?
Yes, we coordinate timing wherever the editorial calendar allows.
What if the placement doesn’t happen?
Our guarantee means you either get a genuine placement or receive a full refund.
Do you help with speaking bookings too?
