BreakThrough Promotions was established with the desire to help authors get what they pay for in the arena of promotional services. To achieve this goal, we attempt to customize a service plan that best meets the needs of each individual client. To meet the variety of needs we've encountered, we’ve established three basic representation plans:

A la carte services: a list of services available for a one time fee.

Limited representation/custom packages: a wide variety of carefully designed packages for the scheduling and management of a specific number and type of events.

Full service representation: Full representation includes:

• Basic mailing and faxing promotion, targeted to the client's preferred markets, with the intent of keeping the author's name and book title(s) visible while the author is between new releases.
• Acquiring print reviews and interviews.
• Scheduling and managing signing events and speaking engagements.
• Scheduling and managing media interviews and events.
• Solicitation of blurbs/celebrity endorsements.
• Scheduling panels/speaking engagements for corporations and conferences.
• Additional services as requested and available.

Limited/custom representation plans are established on a package/flat fee basis, but monthly payments may be arranged for larger packages.

Full service representation is billed monthly against a retainer on the basis of expenses and commissions for events scheduled and work completed. Retainers begin at $500. Contact our offices at 469-245-6202 or email BTPromo1@aol.com for more information.

What don't we know about you that we should?

Understand that it may take several weeks or even months to confirm some media events. Knowing that, we work several at a time and may then have several confirmations come in all at once. The first month of representation is usually the slowest and we do require approximately two weeks after enrollment to get promo pages completed and website updates made.
