Let’s get your book seen — and keep it seen.

Real Reviews. Real Cities. Approved by Editors.

The Press Circuit places your book in real outlets, in real cities, in features that don’t vanish after a click — the press readers find, and the press AI now reads and recommends.

Tell us about your book below. A real person on our team reviews every submission personally, so this is the start of a conversation, not a contract.

Real reviews 50+ cities Editor-approved Indexed & AI-readable
Starting at $250 · No obligation · We reply within 2–3 business days

Paid Placement. Editorial Approval.


​That's the difference between The Press Circuit and a pay-for-review service. We don't promise what the review says, and we don't promise outlets will run it without their approval. We promise the writing, the placement infrastructure, and the access to outlets that maintain real editorial standards.
​​
That's what makes it validation.
Every Tier Includes
​
  •  A ~550-word professional review by a qualified reviewer
  •  Editorial approval by each outlet before publication
  •  Tearsheet-ready coverage for your Amazon Author Central page and media kit
  •  A consolidated PDF press kit of all published reviews
  •  Permission to quote across your marketing and back-cover blurbs
  •  Delivery within 60 days of book submission

How It Works


​Step 1
• Apply. Tell us about your book — genre, audience, target cities, and any specific markets you want to prioritize. We review every application to ensure a strong fit.

Step 2
• We pair you with outlets. Based on your book's audience and your target reach, we select the right cities and outlets from our network of 50+.

Step 3
• Your review is written and submitted. A qualified reviewer produces a professionally written, ~550-word piece. We submit it to each selected outlet.

Step 4
• Each outlet reviews and approves. Outlets retain full editorial discretion. If a piece doesn't meet their standards, they decline — and we work with you to find an alternative.
​

Step 5
• You receive your press kit. Within 60 days, you receive a consolidated PDF of all published reviews, plus permission to quote across your marketing.

Questions Authors Ask


Q: Is this a pay-for-review service?
A: No. The Press Circuit is a paid placement program — you're paying for the writing, the placement, and access to vetted outlets. The reviews themselves are written independently by qualified reviewers, and each outlet retains full editorial approval before publication. We don't guarantee positive coverage; we guarantee real coverage.

Q: What if an outlet declines my review?
A: We work with you to place the piece with an alternative outlet from our network. Every tier promises a guaranteed number of published reviews — not just submitted ones.

Q: Can I choose my outlets?
A: You can name target cities and audiences. We select the right outlets to match. Our network of 50+ means we can almost always accommodate geographic preferences.

Q: How is this different from a press release service?
A: Press releases are distributed widely and picked up rarely. The Press Circuit produces one high-quality, ~550-word review and places it directly with outlets that have agreed to editorial review. You get coverage, not just distribution.

Q: Can I use the reviews after I receive them?
A: Yes. You have permission to quote any review across your Amazon Author Central page, website, media kit, back-cover blurbs, and ongoing marketing — for as long as you'd like.

Q: Do you also offer hotel placement?
A: Yes — Bedside Reading was founded on premium hotel placement, and we still consider it the heart of what we do. Hotel placement programs are separate from The Press Circuit. (Link “Learn about Bedside Reading's full author programs” to the Authors page.)
