How A Science Fiction-Fantasy Author Overcame Media Gatekeepers and Took His Book Publicity To The Next Level

Meet Raymond

Raymond Bolton is a multi-award-winning science fiction and fantasy author whose imaginative novels blend compelling human stories with extraordinary worlds and thought-provoking ideas.

The author of six novels, Raymond has been published both traditionally through WordFire Press and independently. His work has earned recognition from the International Latino Book Awards, International Book Awards and Book Excellence Awards, as well as praise from Kirkus Reviews, Readers’ Favorite and The Book Commentary.

His science fiction novel, Folder, takes readers on an exhilarating journey through alternate dimensions after college freshman Eric Folder discovers an unexpected ability to move between realities.

As Eric travels further from the world he knows, he encounters increasingly unfamiliar versions of the people and places around him. At its heart, however, the story isn’t about extraordinary powers. It’s about an ordinary person discovering what he’s capable of when circumstances force him to rise to the occasion.

Challenges as an Author

Despite Raymond’s accomplishments as an author, attracting media attention proved to be a persistent challenge.

He sought advice, approached different media professionals and tried repeatedly to promote his work himself.

Yet getting past the people controlling access to media opportunities remained frustratingly difficult.

“No matter which media professionals I approached, no matter what advice I’d been given, I always found that the people in charge of the websites, newspapers, magazines, or online outlets either gave me pushback or ignored my approach outright.”

After spending significant time trying to navigate publicity independently, Raymond wanted something different: experienced professionals working alongside him.

That’s what stood out about the Book Excellence Done For You PR Program.

Instead of facing the publicity process alone, Raymond would finally have a team helping him navigate it.

Using Media Coverage to Increase Exposure 

After repeatedly encountering resistance and unanswered outreach, having experienced professionals behind his publicity efforts gave Raymond a new sense of confidence about moving forward.

“If you’ve spent months, or even years, trying to promote yourself on your own, for the first time in your writing career, you have a team of experts going to bat for you.”
For an author who had spent months and years trying different approaches on his own, that support represented a significant shift: publicity was no longer something he had to pursue entirely by himself.

“With Done For You PR Program, I was suddenly no longer on my own, flailing about with no success no matter what I tried.”

Through the Done For You PR Program, Raymond gained valuable media coverage, including features in affiliates of NBC, FOX, CBS.

Raymond’s Success

Raymond has built an accomplished writing career spanning science fiction, fantasy and poetry.

His writing has attracted endorsements and recognition from respected voices throughout speculative fiction, including authors Michael R. Collings, Paul Kane, Mike Resnick and D. J. Butler.

Yet Raymond’s work is ultimately driven by more than awards and accolades.

Through Folder, he explores the idea that courage isn’t reserved for people with extraordinary abilities. It emerges when ordinary people choose to keep going despite circumstances that seem impossible.

As Raymond continued building upon an already accomplished writing career, the Done For You PR Program gave him something that had been missing from his previous promotional efforts: a professional team in his corner to help him pursue greater exposure.
