HWPR specializes in literary publicity and individually tailors each book campaign for maximum impact.  Holly has over two decades of experience working for major book publishing houses, including Viking Penguin, Basic Books and W.W. Norton & Co., both in New York and then in Los Angeles. HWPR was founded in 2015 and since then we have done publicity for large and small publishers alike, including many academic and independent presses. Book tours are not one size fits all, and determining a PR strategy in advance of a book's launch is a key component to its success.
