Robert TimmonsGet your book on podcasts and in the paper, starting with the people most likely to say yes.
For authors ready to be heard and seen. I hand-pick 100 guest-friendly podcasts and 50 journalists, including reporters in your town and the town you grew up in, then send you the list with verified emails and the pitches to use.
A finished book with no audience is a well-kept secret
You did the hard part. You wrote the book. Now it needs listeners, readers, and a reason for people in your community to show up to a signing.
That happens in two places: podcasts, where people spend an hour getting to know you, and the press, where a single local story can fill a room.
Most authors never get either, because they don't know who to ask.
So I find the people to ask
You tell me about your book, where you live, and where you grew up. I search databases of more than 200,000 podcasts and 300,000 journalists, then go through the results by hand.
I keep only the people who fit your story:
- 100 podcasts that interview guests, match your topic, and are realistic to book
- 50 journalists across three groups:
- Topic reporters who write about your subject
- Local reporters who cover people and events where you live
- Hometown reporters who love a "local kid made good" story
What you get
A spreadsheet with all 150 contacts, each with:
- Name, show or outlet, and role
- Verified email (and contact form where available)
- A recent article or episode, so your first line can be specific
- A one-line note on why they fit your book
Plus two playbooks with ready-to-use pitches: one for podcasts, one for the press, including a book signing pitch for local media.
Who this is for
- Authors launching a book or relaunching one that never got its moment
- Speakers and coaches who want stages, interviews, and local visibility
- Anyone with a life story that their community would want to hear

About Robert Timmons
Robert Timmons
I'm Robert Timmons, an artist and the author of The Law of Dynamic Exchange. I help people in the second half of life turn their lived experience into a book and a lasting legacy. I built this list service after doing the same research for my own book launch.
Questions
Is this a list you sell to everyone?
No. Every list is built for one book. I research it after you answer the intake questions, so your contacts match your topic, your town, and your reader.
How fresh are the emails?
Every email comes from databases that validate contacts on a rolling basis. I only include people with a validated email or an active contact form.
Do you pitch for me?
Not in this package. You get the list and the pitches to send from your own email, in your own voice. Hosts and reporters respond better to the author than to an agent.
How long does it take?
Your list arrives by email within 5 business days of your intake answers.
I'm planning a book signing. Will this help?
Yes. The local reporters on your list cover community events, and the press playbook includes a book signing pitch and when to send it.
What if I want even more reach?
The Book Launch Media Kit doubles the press list to 200 journalists, adds three pitch emails written for you in your voice, and includes a pitch tracker.
Refunds
Because each list is researched by hand for your book, refunds are available until I start your research. Once your list is delivered, if any email bounces, reply and I'll replace that contact at no cost.
