Services for Publicists & Agents
With over 35 years in the industry, we know that different books have different needs and act to bridge the gap between publisher, author, and outside agent to meet those needs.
With over 35 years in the industry, we know that different books have different needs and act to bridge the gap between publisher, author, and outside agent to meet those needs.
As publicists and agents know well, publishing a book is just one step of a book’s lifecycle, and it involves a community of people working on different aspects of it. We put our extensive experience and network of relationships within the industry to work to build the connective tissue and set a strategy to make each step of a book’s lifecycle a success.
We offer easy and effective advertising options for publishers and authors to get their books in front of, and literally in the hands of, avid readers.
We report all book sales run through Porchlight Book Company to The New York Times and NPD BookScan.
Whether it’s part of training someone for a job, an add-on at a conference, or a holiday gift, we can customize books to make a lasting impression.
We offer competitive discounts on bulk book orders, and an array of options for how to process them.
Our one-page order platform provides a quick and easy way to execute your pre-order campaign, book promotion, book club, or corporate gifting program.
We excel at managing high-touch, large quantity orders on tight, specific timelines—including international shipments.
We not only move books, we immerse ourselves in them, attempting to understand the ideas and intent of the authors, and help spread those we believe in.
We excel at moving a lot of books at once, even if that means sending them individually to many hundreds or even thousands of different addresses.
We understand that every order is unique, and often needs the flexibility that only a dedicated personal representative can provide.
We offer a wide variety of services to help authors and publishers capture preorders, and accurately report the sales when they ship.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHT
Porchlight provided a preorder page for individual and bulk copies of The Rebellious CEO: 12 Leaders Who Did It Right by Ralph Nader. The first 1,000 people to place their order received a signed bookplate copy. To further promote the book, Porchlight hosted and moderated a livestreamed interview with the author that was available to watch on YouTube, LinkedIn, and Facebook.
