"The Book Guy" Brings Celebrities and Great Books Together

Jan. 30, 2011 - PRLog -- Until now, there has often been a disconnect between celebrities and publishers. As publishing budgets tighten, publishers are more cautious about the projects they accept. The more comprehensive and thought-out, the more likely the book will be given a green light. That's where "The Book Guy" comes in.

"I've been in writing and publishing for over 15 years," says Dave Smitherman. "I've worked with many celebrities on various projects, and I realized that most personalities need help navigating the publishing world."

Mr. Smitherman partnered with a literary agent and book promoter to create Quality Celebrity Books. This team works with dynamic celebrities to create exciting book projects. These works are then presented to all the major publishing houses to determine the best match.

Once the publishing deal is established, Mr. Smitherman works with the celebrity to write, format, and create an exciting publishing project that is destined to become a best seller. After the book is published, the experienced book promotion team goes to work getting exposure and media for the celebrity.

"It's a win for everyone," says Smitherman. "We guide the celebrity through the process, we provide the publisher with a professional, quality project, and we help promote it. It's full life cycle publishing at its best!"

This year, several new celebrity book projects are already in the works, with many more to come. Visit the website for details: http://www.QualityCelebrityBooks.com
