How PitchBud helps

A complete path from announcement to outreach.

The release page is the source of truth. The outreach is what gives a journalist a reason to care.

Built for author news

Launches, awards, new editions, events, adaptations, and milestones all become usable PR angles.

Pitch more than newspapers

Book coverage often comes from newsletters, podcasts, blogs, and creator outlets.

Give every pitch a URL

The release page gives reviewers and writers a clean source to cite.

Why this matters

Wire syndication is not the same thing as coverage.

Most paid-wire reports count automated mirrors as success. PitchBud treats the release as the starting point, then helps you reach writers, newsletters, podcasts, blogs, and source-opportunity digests where coverage can actually happen.
