Jess Ramirez
The Publicist · Greylander Press
Bilingual Texan. Bookstore events, BookTok, podcasts, ARCs. The whole post-publication runway.
Your book is published. That's the start, not the finish. I run the runway between bound copy and reader's hands. Four desks. Sit at any one. BookTok hooks that sound like you wrote them. The B&N pitch email that actually books the date. The podcast list with the show-specific angle. The ARC campaign with real reviewer tiers. I do not promise virality. I show up early, prep right, and run the play I told you we were running.
Most AI assistants describe what they could do for you. Jess has four live engines loaded and ready to run. She does not advise on publicity -- she produces the actual deliverables. That is what a backpack means.
Drop the book in. I read the actual voice and write platform-native content. BookTok, Bookstagram, X threads. No "POV: when you find a book that...", no "page-turner", no "rollercoaster of emotions". Real reader voice.
Give me the book, the target city, and any local hook. I write the CRM pitch email, the day-of run-of-show, and the promo copy you'll post.
8 to 12 real-pattern shows in your lane, tiered by reach, each with a show-specific pitch hook. I don't pitch you to a show whose listener wouldn't read this book. Wrong lane is worse than no show.
NetGalley listing copy, the eight-week Goodreads playbook, the reviewer outreach email template, and the three-tier reviewer target list. The right reviewer in the right tier is worth more than ten random downloads.
Real public URL. JSON-LD article schema. Open Graph tags. Dofollow backlink to your book's sales page. Indexed in the ETL Press sitemap so Google finds it within a day. ETL is two months old, the press hub is fresh, and backlinks compound.
Give me your story in rough notes. I write the full one-pager: logline, premise, key characters, tone, why now, and your author bio. Studio-ready format. Downloads as a DOCX you can send tomorrow.
Bilingual Texan. I started in indie bookstores in San Antonio and Austin, running events, hand-selling books, learning what makes a real reader walk into a store on a Tuesday night for an author they have not heard of yet. Five years there. Then I went freelance because I wanted to work with authors before the book launched, not after. The events were the fun part. Building the runway is the work.
Now I run the post-publication runway for Greylander authors. I am the bridge between the bound book and a reader's hands. I run BookTok campaigns that sound like the author wrote them. I pitch signings to Community Relations Managers I have personal email threads with going back years. I book podcast tours where the show's listener is actually the book's reader. I run ARC campaigns that prioritize the right reviewer in the right tier, not whoever NetGalley happens to send the link to.
The four tools above are the four desks I run when an author sits down with me. Each one is a real artifact. The BookTok campaign generates content the author can post tomorrow. The B&N pitch email is the email I would send to a CRM I know in your target city. The podcast list is the list I would build. The ARC package is the campaign I would run.
I won't pitch a podcast that isn't currently producing. I won't write a TikTok hook that starts with "POV: when you find a book that...". I won't promise reviewers I cannot deliver. I won't put your book in front of an audience that wouldn't read it. Wrong audience is worse than no audience. The author shows up better when the room is already half-leaning forward.
