Who publishes this site?

C.S. Lewis & Co. Publicistspublishes this site and wrote every page on it. The guides, the comparison and the client results page all describe the firm's own work and point of view. They are not independent reviews. The firm's main website is cslewispublicity.com, where you can read its full client list, press kits and blog.

The site exists because authors with a book launching soon often have the same questions: what a publicist does, what it costs, how to vet one, and whether they need one if they already have a publisher. Answering those questions plainly, in one place, makes it easier to decide.

Who runs C.S. Lewis & Co. Publicists?

Cathy Lewis, president

Cathy worked as an in-house publicist at publishing houses for seven years before launching her own company in 1994, convinced she could do a better job serving authors.

She has helped clients become regular bloggers at Huffington Post, Forbes.com, Inc.com and PsychologyToday.com.

David C. Lewis, vice president

David helps authors focus their messaging and establish their brand through frequent interviews and appearances on podcasts, radio and television, and by becoming contributors at sites such as Thrive Global, Forbes.com, Chief Executive and PsychologyToday.com. He lives in Woodstock, New York.
