 If
you’re wanted by the FBI, hiding out from your
in-laws, or just simply desire to remain anonymous …
DO NOT CALL ASCOT MEDIA GROUP! However, if you have
a book and want the world to know then Trish and her
merry band of publicists can put you on front pages
in major media markets and make you a familiar face
on the talk show circuit. I sensed there was
something special about Ascot Media the first time I
inquired about their services. Now I know what it
is. They don’t use some arbitrary check box to
satisfy themselves that they have earned their
modest fee. As long as they are on the job for you,
they don’t ease up, they don’t quit, and I doubt
they even sleep. So DO NOT CALL ASCOT MEDIA GROUP …
I want them all for myself!

I
can’t believe how much publicity I have gotten from
your program. I know you told me this would happen,
but I couldn’t believe it. I have heard so many
empty promises before, but this is AMAZING and full
of truth! In just a couple day I have had over 35
media people contact me requesting my book,
information, interviews, etc. I have even gotten us
booked as regulars on a major radio station. Thank
you so much!!!!!!!

Frank
McKinney, Author of "The Tap", "Burst This", and
"Dead Fred..." |
The
team at Ascot Media is the absolute best! I used
their services to promote my three new books; The
Tap, Burst This! Frank McKinney's Bubble-Proof Real
Estate Strategies, and Dead Fred, Flying Lunchboxes,
and the Good Luck Circle.

All represented entirely different genres, and Ascot
approached each one with the same energy - always
managing to reach top media outlets and getting more
leads than I have seen from all prior PR firms.
I also used them for assisting in the marketing of
my latest oceanfront property, Acqua Liana - a $22.9
million dollar home that has been billed as 'the
greenest mansion in America,' as well as helping
raise awareness for our non-profit organization
Caring House Project Foundation that builds homes
and a self-sustaining existence for poor and
homeless families around the world.
The versatility of Ascot's team is evident by the
diverse projects I have given them in our business
dealings and how they have successfully handled
them. They are never daunted by a project, but
instead welcome the challenge and strive to get the
best results possible. I would recommend Ascot Media
and its results-oriented team to anyone wanting to
promote their product, service or self.

Ascot Media has been the
first PR company that we have worked with. I never
expected to get the response to our book SOMETHING
YOU FORGOT…ALONG THE WAY that we did. In one month
we got over 80 media leads. These included requests
from the likes of CNN, NBC, CBS Early Show, Fox
News, Reader’s Digest, and Marie Claire, just to
name a few. This has lead to 7 radio interviews,
with more in the pipeline, and 17 printed reviews,
not including the mentions on many websites.

Ascot
Media is the second public relations company that I
have used, and the difference between them and my
first PR firm could not be more striking. In three
months with my first PR firm (which was more
expensive, by the way), I got two book reviews and
about half a dozen radio interviews. In seven weeks
with Ascot, I've had:
- a couple dozen
radio interviews
- half a dozen
television interviews - including my first
nationally syndicated TV spot
- front page
reviews on cnbc.com, foxbusiness.com, and
Business Week
- a review in the
largest newspaper in Canada
- multiple
requests to write magazine articles
- more leads and
requests for interviews than there are time to
do
And that's just seven
weeks! No telling what will happen in the next
several months. Ascot has been quick to respond,
always friendly, and infinitely more effective than
my previous publicist. If there's any problem at
all, it's that they've been so good at generating
leads it's impossible to keep up! I couldn't be
happier, and I have every expectation that you will
feel the same way.

Ascot Media Group - The Great Change in the Global
Book Business
When
I went looking for a publicity group to launch my
coming novel, She-Rain (debuting nationally
in March, 2007), I longed for what I thought an
impossibility: People as professional as they are
aggressive, confident, utterly tireless, devoted to
blasting a title into mainstream media and equally
committed to setting off a viral buzz that runs
through the internet sphere as a virtual pandemic of
the title/author brand. That’s an order as tall as
that sentence is long. Ascot Media
actually meet that standard, then go soaring over
it.
Ascot respects none of the usual boundaries of a
work day. When most of us sink into slumber, Ascot's
team is
up, on the phone, e-mailing, planning, expanding the
contact base and looking for just the topical pitch
that launches titles into the New York Times
bestseller zone. Too many publicity houses dwell on
composing and sending news releases around shot-gun
style at editors. Ascot, rising far above this
boilerplate approach, builds relationships on behalf
of a title and the writer. They garner the free
media absolutely necessary to building a magnetic
and credible brand that captures mindshare among
media and key book buying demographics. There’s no
substitute for a publicist who knows how to get you
and your book to make news. Ascot as a team are
the most tireless news generators – and buzz makers
– I’ve seen in the industry.
With
my publishing house, Morgan James, I get to work
with the legendary Rick Frishman and his terrific
publicity group. It’s a blessing. Rick, however,
completely blesses my added relationship with Ascot. Brilliantly connected throughout today’s
fragmented and change-laden media universe, Ascot
Media Group is a dedicated advocate, a creator of
inevitable success, and an avowed enemy of
complacency. In a firmament of book titles, they are a
beautiful force behind many a rising star! The
Ascot Media team are stars in their own right. Visit

LETTER OF
RECOMMENDATION
As
an author who has published nine novels, including
three NY Times best-sellers, my biggest challenge
with each new book is to generate publicity. What
many new authors fail to realize is that today’s
book sales affect tomorrow’s publishing deal, and if
you are not doing everything you can to generate
sales, then there may not be a next book deal. The
challenge in hiring an effective publicist is that
all of them talk the talk, but very few actually
walk the walk. Bigger firms usually delegate tasks,
sending out mass e-mailers, then following up by
e-mail, sending the author a tally sheet of
everything they have “done.” Publicists conveniently
confuse activity versus accomplishment, and the
results can be awful…and awfully expensive.
My experiences with Ascot Media
have been far different. The owner personally oversees
each campaign. They are cut above the rest of the
class, and having run my last three campaigns in the
last two years, has proven to be a very wise
investment. Ascot’s PR campaigns, simply put, are
less expensive yet much more effective than any
other plan I have known over the years.
The team members are extremely dedicated and always
available. I am glad to have found Ascot. They
reach out to hundreds of thousands of media outlets
weekly, and the amount of interviews that come in
from the press release distributions are very high.
I receive on average about 15-25 radio or TV
interview requests during the campaign. Never has
any PR firm been able to do that for me in all my
years of writing. I highly recommend Ascot Media Group.

 I'm
a first-time author. I have been published twice in
academic journals related to my profession, but just
recently had my first book published on a personal
topic that I'm very passionate about. I worked for
months to promote my book, but it wasn't until my
publisher suggested I work with Ascot Media that my
book finally grew wings and took off. Thanks to
Ascot Media, within three short months, I have been
on numerous radio interviews, including two
nationally syndicated shows. I have my first
television appearance next week on San Diego Living
and then KTLA television in LA. Next month I'll be
in NY doing another television show and a nationally
syndicated radio show. Thank you Ascot Media! I
couldn't be more thrilled with your results! I
highly recommend Ascot Media to anyone wishing to

“I was dubious about
paying for publicity, but since none of my previous
books had made much
of a splash, my co-author and I signed with Ascot
Media for “Travel Within: The 7 Steps to
Wisdom and Inner Peace.” Within weeks, we had
interview requests from affiliates of all three
major TV networks (ABC, CBS and NBC) plus Fox News.
In the last three weeks alone, we’ve done 14 radio,
TV and newspaper interviews, with our voices heard
coast to coast in the U.S. and throughout Europe.
We’ve also done 10 signings and lectures and had 31
requests for review copies. At one point last week,
“Travel Within” was selling faster than over 99% of
all titles available on Amazon.com. Ascot Media has exceeded our wildest dreams.”

 Ascot
Media has been the best choice I have made for
promoting my book. I am very pleased with the amount
of contacts received with each press release
distribution. I have received countless leads from
National and Local TV, Radio, and Magazine outlets
which has truly benefited my book sales and
established my mark as a reputable author. This
really has been excellent exposure for me and my
book which has led to several great opportunities.
The staff at Ascot Media has exceeded my
expectations when it comes to being professional and
personable. They are always so quick to respond to
any questions I have and go above and beyond when
promoting my book and distributing my press release.
I have been very impressed by their frequent efforts
to keep in contact daily, if not weekly keeping me
up to date with current leads and contact inquiries.
Ascot Media has truly been outstanding and I
recommend them to anyone looking to promote their
business or product.

Sally
Srok Friedes - Author |
From
the moment I heard Trish Stevens' (Owner of Ascot) voice on the
phone, I knew I was in good hands. Any author can
hire a publicist, but finding a publicist who
manages to raise an already elevated level of
enthusiasm is precious. More importantly, Ascot
Media delivers. After the first press release for
The New Jew was sent, I received more than a
dozen
requests for advance copies from media outlets I
never would have reached on my own. I was thrilled.
I wrote to Ascot Media Group that I was happy with the response
and they immediately wrote back, "There will be
more!" They were right. I have half a dozen television
and radio interviews scheduled, including a one-hour
radio program in New York, and that is after just
two months of contracting with Ascot Media.
Ascot Media's intro plan is a perfect way to venture
into a relationship with a publicity company. They
make the initial contact with the media, and I
follow up with the responses. It is good to know
that, at any time, I can increase my level of
service to a full publicist plan. It is clear that
they are committed to making my book known to the
public. The icing on the cake is they make the
entire process fun. With their energy and spirit, I
am constantly reminded how lucky I am to be here.

Tom Williams - Author |
Recommendation for Kim McCall and the Ascot Media Group
From
Author, Tom Williams
When searching for representation
throughout the media world, diligence
and relentless effort are key, but
follow up with meticulous attention to
detail are the real secrets of success.
Kim McCall of the Ascot Media
group is the follow up queen. Kim, Trish
Stevens, and their associates have
broken all barriers to the carefully
guarded media world and have not only
hurdled the maze of traditional
safeguards but have made friends with
the media gatekeepers!
After communicating with several authors
regarding publicist firms, there can be
little doubt as to the fast-paced
results from Ascot Media, and how far
ahead of the norm, Kim McCall and Trish
Stevens are.
The following is a testament of a newly
published author and the publicity story
of Lost and Found.
After contacting every newspaper and
magazine nationwide, advanced reading
copies were dispersed and 18 rave
reviews were collected prior to
publication. Book cover-art was then the
focus and Ascot was relentless
until the cover art was perfect. After
publication, nationwide radio interviews
followed along side numerous press
releases. Television interviews were
next, local and network, with Fox and
Friends opening even more doors that
were quickly pursued by the clever
ladies at Ascot Media.
After 11 faced paced months with the Ascot Media Group, I find
that not only am I well represented by
the best in the business, but the
experience is as fun and exciting as if
I have my very own Jerry McGuire working
hard to, “Show me the money!”

Bill Forstchen
- Author of over 40 books |
My name is Bill Forstchen and I’m
the author of over forty books. I
will admit up front that I can be
considered insane for at least two
reasons. First, that I would actually
sit down and write forty books. Second,
for the longest time I believed nearly
everything my publishers told me. .
.especially when it came to marketing.
Whether
you are just getting into the business,
or an old hand, we’ve all shared that
incredible thrill of opening a letter
after months, perhaps years of waiting
and read. . . “Dear author, we love your
book and want to publish it!”
Those first months are like a honeymoon.
. .all those wonderful promises of life
long love and devotion. “We are going to
put you at the top.” Or, “You’re our A
list author and wait until you see how
we sell your book.” “We’re building your
future and we’ll be partners for life!”
Some honeymoons actually do work, but
for most of us in this business, you
quickly discover that. . well, the day
after publication your beloved “spouse
and life long partner” no longer
respects you. . .in fact can not even
remember your name. . .and something
seems to be wrong with the joint bank
account! And hey, where did she go. . .
all the furniture in the house is
missing and even the house is gone!
So consider this next paragraph to be a
little “infomercial” for
Ascot Media Group:
“Having problems with your publisher.
Tired of walking into your local book
store and you can’t find a single copy
of your work? Have you been sitting by
the phone for months waiting for
someone, anyone to call for an interview
and all you hear is a dial tone? Did
your publisher promise “on the souls of
his grandchildren” that they’d turn you
into a best seller and you find out he
has no grandchildren! Then call Ascot
Media Group today.”
Seriously though. Publishing is one
helluva brutal business. We, the authors
get into it for a lot of reasons, but I
think one common denominator above all
else is that we love books, we love
writing, and there is the streak of the
idealist in us. Publishers? “It’s not
personal, it’s business.” And that
business rarely considers you the
individual. You are just one book of a
hundred or more they might market this
year. Sure they will have the one or two
fair haired favorites that some
attention is lavished on, but for most
of us, enough copies are run off to turn
a profit for them, and that is it. Could
your book have been a best seller?
Maybe. . . but if the publisher didn’t
plan for you to be a best seller, then
dream on because it just ain’t gonna
happen. I learned these hard truths
across twenty five years of slowly
crawling up the ladder. My success did
come thanks to half a dozen books with a
very famous co author and friend, but
when it came to titles I still wrote on
my own. . . zero effort even though my
co authored books won near universal
praise for story and style, my co author
lavish in his praise of my ability.
A
good buddy in the business, a consistent
NY Times best seller had been hammering
me for years about the main step to
success. To hell with what your
publishers promise. Most of it is hot
air, (he also references what can be
found in pastures as well). If you study
how the top players made it. . . they
had their own publicist. That is the
key. Someone who works for you and with
you. Someone who has a stake in your
success, someone who is a pro who knows
marketing, which frankly very few of us
authors have a real grasp of.
My friend is right. Long before
publication of my latest book “One
Second After” early reviewers were
telling me that my book was absolutely
my best ever, and that beyond that it
was an important book with an important
message. But yet again, all those early
honeymoon promises from the publisher. .
.yeah right. I could see the book was
heading for oblivion.
Well this time I decided to fight back
and fight to win.
My best seller friend pointed out Ascot
Media to me and I gave them a call.
A few emails, a half hour on the phone
and we had a contract.
Why? Well let me say something about her
contract first. I’ve heard a lot of
horror stories about alleged publicists
that lock you into a six month or year
long deal for a lot of bucks and then
you never hear from them again.
Successful or bomb, you still must pay
them every month. Ascot Media is more than
happy to start for just a month or two
and openly says “try my team out and if
you are not happy you are not tied in.”
That was refreshing, it put the
performance demand on her right up
front. Second, Ascot offers several
different packages and there is no “hard
sell,” on their part. Ascot Media is frank and
open, laying out the benefits versus
cost of each. Ascot is more than happy to
provide referrals from other people in
your particular line that have worked
with their team and urges you to feel free to
call them for an evaluation and advice.
And finally, well there is just
something about Ascot Media that won me over
within a few minutes. I figured if they
could do that, then this is a
professional group who understands selling and
the market.
I am writing this after only a few weeks
of our working together. I am deeply
impressed. I find emails from the Ascot
staff time stamped at 3:00 AM setting up
a potential interview. Their press
releases are hot and they know how to
peg the right spot in the market.
I think
Ascot Media Group is a winner and they can make
you a winner too.
In closing. If you had to chose between
trusting a publicist in your publisher's
office who works for the corporation, or
a publicist who works directly for you.
. .who would you believe first?
Feel free to call me at any time if you
wish to talk it over. If you want to
hear some horror stories about being an
author or feel like sharing a few of
your own, I’ll get out the scotch or
whatever you prefer while we talk.
And then sign on with Ascot Media.
Sincerely,
William R. Forstchen

To Authors
and Publishers
We want to take the opportunity to
recommend Ascot Media Group to both publishers and
writers who are looking for a marketing
team to help promote a book. The Cults
of Relativity is a book geared toward
unique audiences. Ascot Media Group and their
viral marketing took the extra effort to
find the audiences interested in the
technical side of Dark Energy and
Relativity. The fact that the book also
deals with how Dark Energy is tied to
biotechnology made their job that much
more difficult. Their effort to work on
press releases until they found the one
that caught the public's attention was
noteworthy.
Ascot Media has a natural talent for lining up
interviews. We both have worked with
several other ad agencies in the past,
and none have equaled Ascot Media's
performance. We highly recommend them.

how I was imprisoned by a group of

Ascot Media Group are a very
efficient and loyal team. I was
surprised that by the end of the first
month of working as my publicists, they
hadn't wasted any time in setting up 5
TV appearances (including one radio
interview), across the US, of which
three were broadcast live, including 2
Fox News interviews. I'm looking forward
to my next TV tour that is presently
being arranged by this team. I highly

Anderson, Author of The Santa Letters,

|
As
a brand new author, I was admittedly
quite overwhelmed not only by the
nuances of the publishing world but even
more so by the marketing required for a
new book title by a previously
unpublished, although known, writer.
And then ASCOT Media came into the
picture.
The ASCOT Media team has embraced
my project and made it as important as
if it were their own. And my scheduler,
Monica Foster, has dedicated her self to
the success of the message of The Santa
Letters with a passion equal to my own.
Their offices are out of southern,
Texas and it was interesting for me to
note that not even a natural disaster
like hurricane Ike could deter their
efforts as they got back to work as soon
as they could and rallied behind me. It
was humbling to hear their cheerful
voices void of complaints as they rose
above the chaos that surrounded them and
got to work not wanting to disappoint
me.
I have not
only been blessed with a super publicity
group but with friends who embrace my
passion and do everything they can to
help me share my vision. If you want a
publicity company that will not only put
their best foot forward but will stand
behind you 150%, go to ASCOT Media.

Steve Alten, N.Y. Times best-selling
author |
|
To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Steve Alten and I am the N.Y.
Times best-selling author of seven
novels. I have worked with no less than
a dozen publicists since my first novel,
MEG, hit best-seller lists in 1997 and
have been frustrated by the mixed
results and wasted dollars spent. For my
eight novel, THE SHELL GAME, I hired
Ascot Media Group to do a viral internet
blitz. The results have been incredible.
Ascot targeted websites, blogs, and
organizations that believe in the
message of The SHELL GAME. They received
requests for advanced reading copies
from over 300 groups representing tens
of thousands of supporters. A month
prior to the book’s release, the
publisher presold 37,000 of the 40,000
first prints. During the first month of
its release, The SHELL GAME hit numbers
33 and 31 on the NY Times best seller
list.
In addition to the viral campaign, Ascot
targeted the media in the thousands,
resulting in radio and television
interviews that also helped push me on
to the NY Times best seller list.
I highly recommend Ascot Media to anyone
looking for a big return on their
advertising buck.

Letter of
recommendation for the
Ascot Media Group
Dealing with
media is not unlike walking through a
large and very old house with darkened
hallways and many locked doors. There
are obviously actions occurring behind
the closed doors but to the outsider
these sacred doors can be impenetrable
as bank vaults.
With Ascot Media, the
old scary house suddenly becomes an open
house with everyone that was so
untouchable and locked behind blocked
barriers suddenly becoming accessible
and approachable.
There can be
no doubt that the Ascot Media Group
are true shinning stars in the publicist
field and relentlessly rely on
techniques that most other firms
consider too much work. The Ascot Media
Group is unstoppable in their conquests
for their client’s goals and show kind
attention and patience when guiding
newcomers through the mysteries of the
media world.
I cannot
recommend strongly enough the Ascot Media team.

columnist, feature article writer, and
author of “Lost and Found”
