EDC Creations Publicity Services


Different authors publish for different reasons. For some, their goal is to be recognized as an expert in their field, using a book as a supplement. Others publish books to motivate people with their inspirational message, impacting lives. Others publish simply to entertain or to share their take on current affairs. But when all is said and done, in order to achieve their personal goals, authors need to generate book sales.

EDC Creations and its partners are proud to provide authors with the most comprehensive selection of Web 3.0 marketing and promotion services in the industry today. Below, you will find the various programs and services that we have put together to help you create a buzz and ultimately generate demand for your book.

What is Publicity? At its core, publicity is the simple act of making a suggestion to the media that leads to the inclusion of a company or product in a story. Newspapers, magazines, TV programs and radio shows have large amounts of space to fill and depend upon publicists to help provide story ideas, interview subjects, background information and other material. We help you create the mystical buzz that will get you noticed!

What is Public Relations? Public Relations is a broader field that encompasses publicity, but also includes such things as investor relations, crisis communications, special events and sponsorships, and other activities designed to mold opinion.

EDC Creations specializes in creating Internet Publicity and PR for authors, small business owners, and publishing houses. Our publicity team begins each publicity campaign with a strategic brainstorming session to discuss competitive titles, author positioning, campaign messaging, potential target markets, target media outlets, and tactical marketing and promotions timelines. With this input, the campaign manager formulates a comprehensive strategic plan and budget, that guides the course of the entire publicity campaign.

We look to our authors and publishing clients for suggestions and input, and our clients retain final approval of the strategic plan for their campaign. We use this information to chart the course of obtaining publicity for your book or business. Each client is provided a publicity plan and a marketing plan for their book or business. Our flat rate packages are listed below.
