Complimentary Marketing for Every JCP Author

Being a JCP author comes with more perks than just getting to hold your book in your hands. We make it our mission to ensure our authors are well taken care of and receive the exposure their books deserve!

Additionally, JCP sends press releases to any email addresses authors may supply to us, either on the PPC (Pre-Production Checklist) or after your book has been released.

These books are also featured individually through our social media and in an emailed “Book of the Week” newsletter.

As this process continues, every JCP book will be featured.
