Black Chateau

It was an absolute pleasure working with Desiree, Dave, and Jei at Black Château. We were very careful and deliberate when choosing our PR firm, and we knew from the beginning that they were a great match. Before we even worked together, they took the time to thoughtfully answer our questions, demonstrated depth and attention to detail in the way they researched and marketed our book, and approached every interaction with kindness and professionalism. Once we made it official, we knew we made the right choice, and they showed up for us throughout the entire process. They consistently went above and beyond to answer our questions, assist with unexpected priorities, and keep us organized and on task. They were communicative, professional, flexible, and always kind and warm, the type of people you genuinely want to build a working relationship with. This was our first time promoting a book, and they made us feel comfortable and confident every step of the way, not only through their patient explanations and guidance, but also through the results they delivered. They brought our book a level of visibility that we would not have been able to achieve on our own and helped us navigate the publishing and publicity process with greater clarity and confidence. We were not always the easiest clients, and priorities occasionally shifted, but they were always willing to jump in, help, and pivot wherever needed. They treated our book and its mission with genuine care, and it always felt as though they were personally invested in helping it succeed. We are extremely happy with the progress and recognition our book received, and a huge part of that success was due to the expertise, diligence, creativity, and hard work of the Black Château team. I would absolutely recommend them to any author or organization looking for a thoughtful, strategic, and dedicated PR partner, and I look forward to working together again in the future. "

With an ever-changing media landscape, it is overwhelming to keep up with trends and be mindful of all the opportunities available for different budgets. Black Château not only provides valuable guidance on effective marketing strategies but actually helps save clients time and money by avoiding ineffective paths. Im also grateful for their ability and willingness to cater their advice and services to each projects specific needs. "

As a publisher and editor, I'm constantly exposed to the challenges authors face to market their books. I recommend Black Château above all other firms I've worked with, based on their stellar combination of industry knowledge, cutting-edge technical expertise, and their care and commitment to the individual needs and nuances of each project and client. Their insights are invaluable. "

Black Chateau did a great job with my book tour: sourcing wonderful opportunities and providing sage advice. Grateful for their support and expertise! "

Black Chateau has been my go to Publicist and PR firm for over 5 years now. The entire team is professional, responsive, and most importantly ... KIND. You can never underestimate how kindness opens doors for authors who want to share their work with radio, TV, podcasts, and public appearances. I strongly suggest that if you want the world to read your work, you want to start with Black Chateau. - Scott Ryan, Author of Last Decade of Cinema, Moonlighting: An Oral History and the co-president of Fayetteville Mafia Press and Tucker DS Press. "

Working with Black Chateau Enterprises is one of the most productive - and enjoyable -experiences we have ever had in the world of book promotion. The principals, Desiree Duffy and Dave Napox, are consummate pros. And their whole team is responsive and highly capable as well. We are about to work with Black Chateau on the second book in this series, and look forward to more success, and more fun, with sequels and other books. I wholeheartedly recommend Black Chateau for those wanting the ability to choose from a full complement of key marketing and publicity help. They will create social marketing pages and jump start posts to build a following, get you media interviews, press coverage, and can help boost sales as well. Great people doing great work. "

From the moment the team at Black Chateau came aboard helping the Horror Writers Association promoting our annual Bram Stoker Awards and other special events, they've been exemplary in communication and deliverables. We've seen our online engagement and recruitment rise noticeably. We've also found pickups and press in areas we'd never reached before, time and again. A real world example would be the press releases that announce the Bram Stoker Awards finalists and winners. Previously, we'd been limited to seeing them carried in the small circle of genre literary sites. Great, but limited. Black Chateau opened them up far beyond what we'd seen and we were delighted in their being added worldwide. To piggyback off of that, these pickups were acted upon and we were and are contacted by media we'd never heard from previously. Now, many of them have established relationships with the HWA. There is excellent communication in regards to developing and making professional promotional materials. The team really took the time to get to know and promote us. "

They have been watching my back for five books. They have become my family and that is how I feel I have been treated. Got much press/media because of their help!!!! "
