Pinkston Books

Who We
Are

We’re a team of critically-acclaimed writers, designers, copyeditors and communications strategists. We’ve been helping clients build their brands through books for twenty years, and we have connections with top literary agents, publishing firms and distribution companies. We’ve worked with New York Times bestsellers, CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, founders of international nonprofits and the country’s top thought leaders.

Pinkston is a publicity machine! The quantity of quality bookings that they roll out during a campaign is astounding. Bringing their team on board a project is a clear no-brainer, for they have the power to create a best-seller.

Pinkston is a public relations juggernaut. Simply put, they are the industry gold standard.

I have relied on Christian Pinkston and Pinkston for more than a decade to help me find the right words at the right time. They have delivered again and again.

First and foremost, Pinkston delivers results. They played a critically important role helping Covad to develop and execute a communications strategy to respond to a series of jolting regulatory decisions that upended the established order in the industry. Their responsiveness and commitment to the client are unmatched. I would recommend Pinkston to other companies without reservation.
