Founder | VS Publicity

I’m an independent book publicist with over 10 years’ experience delivering publicity campaigns with visibility and impact across non-fiction and fiction through thoughtful publicity, media relations, author positioning, book launches, events and content. I've led campaigns for hundreds of authors and worked with leading publishers including: Watkins Media, Angry Robot Books, Red Wheel/ Weiser, Duncan Baird Publishers, Hay House and Trigger Publishing (Welbeck) to bring books to market with visibility and impact.

Alongside my media career, I'm a UKCP and BACP accredited integrative psychotherapist and writer. I have written for Therapy Today, Resurgence, and Happiful.

Before specialising in publishing, I spent 20 years in the creative industries, producing campaign films for organisations including Mind, Kick It Out and Peace One Day, as well as events for the Directors Guild of Great Britain and Ravensbourne College. Earlier in my career, I was a published songwriter and wrote the title track to Dina Carroll’s platinum-selling album, Only Human.

Why work with VS Publicity?

Every campaign is personally managed by me. I work with a small number of authors and publishers at any one time, allowing me to create thoughtful, strategic publicity tailored to each book's audience and needs. With hundreds of successful campaigns across fiction and non-fiction, I combine industry experience with genuine commitment and care in every campaign I take on. My focus is on raising an author's profile, strengthening their credibility and ensuring their work reaches the audiences that matter most.

Whether you're an independent author or publisher, my approach is collaborative, strategic and focused on securing coverage that makes a lasting impact.

The fourth photo shows a bookstore window display with books and a sign that reads 'ENGLAND OUT OF FIRE.' The fifth photo shows a woman with a bouquet of flowers standing in a bookstore, smiling. The sixth photo shows two women sitting at a table inside a bookstore, smiling and talking.
