Authors looking to get their books published, promoted and potentially adapted for the screen may soon have more services available under one roof. Ascot Media Group, Inc., a public relations firm with nearly 20 years of experience in book publicity, is expanding its operations to offer authors a broader range of publishing, media production and marketing services.
The Friendswood, Texas-based company announced the expansion on October 8, introducing an end-to-end service suite developed through strategic partnerships with established U.S. industry professionals. The goal is to give authors, publishers and literary partners access to specialized support throughout the publishing process, from preparing a manuscript to building an audience and pursuing opportunities beyond the book itself.
Ascot Media Group has built its reputation on public relations campaigns for debut authors and New York Times bestselling writers. The company also provides publicity services behind the scenes for other PR agencies, offering media distribution and campaign management at what it describes as accessible rates.
The expanded offerings cover several areas of the publishing and entertainment industries. Authors can now access manuscript editing, editorial consultations, and assistance securing early reader reviews and endorsements. Publishing services also include audiobook narration and production, giving writers additional ways to bring their work to audiences.
The company is also expanding its digital marketing capabilities. Services include author website design, platform development, search engine optimization and targeted email marketing strategies designed to strengthen an author’s online presence and connect with potential readers.
For writers interested in taking their stories beyond the printed page, Ascot is adding screenplay adaptation and Hollywood pitching. Eligible literary works can be developed into professional screenplays and presented to film producers, directors and studio executives.
Multimedia and podcast production are also part of the new service lineup, providing authors with additional opportunities to build visibility through audio and video content.
“For nearly 20 years, our core focus has been helping authors gain the recognition their work deserves,” said Trish Stevens, founder and president of Ascot Media Group, Inc. She said the partnerships bring together experienced providers across editorial, production, digital marketing and film adaptation, creating a single resource for authors navigating today’s media landscape.
The company will continue offering its traditional public relations campaigns and media distribution services alongside the new offerings.
