Robert TimmonsAnnounce your book to the news, then put it in front of 300 people who can make it known.
For authors who want a real launch, not a quiet one. I write your press release and send it on our top distribution tier, with guaranteed placements on outlets like Business Insider, Yahoo Finance, and AP News. Then I build your full media list and pitches, so you're in front of the right people the moment your book is announced.
Most books launch in silence
You spent months, maybe years, writing your book. Then launch day comes, you post about it, your friends congratulate you, and that's it.
It isn't because the book isn't good. It's because nobody outside your circle was told.
A real launch does two things at once: it announces the book publicly, and it puts the author in front of the people who share stories for a living.
What I do for you
1. Your press release, written and sent on our top tier
- I write a professional press release about your book from your intake answers
- You approve every word before anything goes out
- It's distributed to 400+ news and media sites on the date you choose
- Guaranteed placements include Business Insider, Yahoo Finance, AP News, and Apple News, plus financial news terminals from Bloomberg, Dow Jones, and Thomson Reuters
- You get a placement report showing every site that published it, branded with your name
2. Found by AI, not just Google
More readers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini for book recommendations. Your release goes out on a tier built to get it indexed by AI assistants, so your book has a chance to show up when people ask about your topic.
Your release is also turned into an audio version on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
3. Your own press page
You get a public media room: one page with your press release, bio, book cover, photo, and contact details. When a journalist or podcast host says "send me your press kit," you send one link.
4. Your full media list
- 100 podcasts that interview guests, fit your topic, and are realistic to book
- 200 journalists: national reporters on your subject, local reporters where you live, and hometown reporters where you grew up
- Every contact with a verified email and a recent article or episode, so your first line is personal
5. Your pitches, written in your voice
- Three pitch emails: one for podcasts, one for topic reporters, one for local and hometown press about your launch or book signing
- A pitch tracker so no reply or follow-up slips through
- Podcast and press playbooks with sending schedules and follow-up scripts
Who this is for
- Authors launching a book in the next 2 to 3 months
- Authors with a published book that never got its launch moment
- Speakers, coaches, and business owners using a book to build authority
How it works
- Buy the package and answer the intake questions
- Get your draft press release within 7 business days and approve it
- Get your 300 contacts and 3 custom pitches within 10 business days
- Your release goes out on the date you choose, and you start pitching the same week
What's included
- A professional press release about your book, written for you and approved by you before it's sent.
- Distribution to 400+ news sites, with guaranteed placements on Business Insider, Yahoo Finance, AP News, and Apple News.
- AI search indexing and an audio version of your release on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
- A placement report branded with your name, plus your own public media room page.
- 100 hand-picked podcasts and 200 journalists: national, local, and hometown.
- 3 pitch emails written in your voice, plus a pitch tracker and two playbooks.

About 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 package after running the same launch for my own book.
Questions
How is this different from the Book Launch Media Kit?
The Media Kit gives you the list and the pitches. This package adds the launch itself: a press release I write and distribute on our top tier, guaranteed placements on major outlets, AI search indexing, an audio version, a placement report, and your own media room page.
Where will my press release be published?
It goes to 400+ news and media sites. Guaranteed placements include Business Insider, Yahoo Finance, AP News, and Apple News, plus Bloomberg, Dow Jones, and Thomson Reuters financial terminals. Your placement report lists every site that published it.
Is this the same as being written about by a journalist?
No, and it's worth being clear. A distributed press release appears on news sites as an official announcement. Earned coverage, where a reporter writes a story about you, comes from pitching, which is why the package also includes your 200 journalists and pitch emails. The two work best together.
Can my release mention famous people I've worked with?
Only with their written permission. News distribution networks require a signed authorization for any person or company named in a release. If you can get it, I'll include the form. If not, those stories are perfect for your pitches and interviews instead.
Are there any topics that can't be distributed?
Releases must be in English and written as news, not ads. A few outlets don't accept certain topics (for example, Yahoo Finance excludes crypto and law-firm releases). I'll flag anything like that before we start.
Do you send the pitch emails for me?
No. You send them from your own email. Hosts and reporters respond better to the author than to an agent, and you keep every relationship you build.
What do you need from me?
A short intake, your book cover, a headshot, and one or two things you've written so everything sounds like you. The prep guide in your Resources lists it all.
When should I buy this?
Ideally 6 to 8 weeks before your launch or book signing. That leaves time to approve your release and get your podcast pitches out first.
Refunds
Because each package is researched and written by hand for your book, refunds are available until I start your research. Once your press release has been distributed, the distribution fee can't be refunded. If any email on your list bounces, reply and I'll replace that contact at no cost.
