Ashley P.
Freelance Publicist | Writer/Editor | Media Strategist | Book PR
For over a decade, I’ve built a career at the intersection of publicity, storytelling, and strategic marketing. As a Freelance Publicist, I’ve represented actors, musicians, authors, influencers, and television personalities, with experience at a top-five PR agency working with talent ranging from A-listers to rising stars. Today, my work increasingly focuses on authors, books, and publishing. I’m the founder of The Readers Table, a book marketing and creator-focused initiative helping authors connect their books with readers, book creators, influencers, and media. I develop and manage creator campaigns, book launches, publicity initiatives, media and podcast outreach, and reader-focused marketing designed to build awareness and momentum. My PR background gives me a unique advantage in book marketing: I know how to find the story, build the right strategy, craft compelling pitches, and create campaigns that generate meaningful visibility. I’ve led campaigns surrounding the Emmys, Oscars, and Grammys, and worked on projects that helped launch New York Times bestsellers. I’m known for strong press relationships, proactive strategy, creative thinking, and a deep understanding of how to turn a great story into a compelling campaign. Whether you need book marketing, author publicity, creator campaigns, media outreach, or a strategic launch plan, I bring the experience and creativity to make it happen. I’m also writing my debut novel, so I understand the author experience from both sides of the table.
