Industrializing PR for Academic Books

The podcast episode discusses the challenges faced by academics in promoting their books and the lack of PR services tailored to academic publications. Marshall Poe, the podcast host, shares his experience working with a PR firm in New York that successfully publicized his academic book. Inspired by this collaboration, a new PR service targeting authors of academic books was developed in partnership with R.L.M. and the New Books Network. The aim is to offer authors value for money and to fill a gap in the market for promoting academic publications.
