Today we’d like to introduce you to Brittany Bearden.
Hi Brittany, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
In 2010, I started working for a book publicist, writing an average of 70 press releases per week. He gave me a lot of opportunities, including ghostwriting and editing books. I became interested in learning how to do more with the press releases and media pitches than just write them, so I learned the publicist role.
Today, I have a team of ghostwriters who ghostwrite books for my clients and a team of publicists who help my clients secure media. On the ghostwriting side, we can take a book from concept to reality, including ghostwriting, editing, cover design, book interior layout, ePub file, and audiobook creation. On the PR side, we help clients secure coverage in online outlets, newspapers, magazines, television, radio, blogs, and podcasts.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
I enjoy my job a great deal, so that makes the struggles easy, but I would say one of the biggest struggles was when I had a new business and had to do everything myself because I didn’t have a budget for a team, so I found myself doing things like building my website.
Today, I have a professional design my website, and we design websites for clients, but it’s not a task I would ever want to do myself again, without the help of a professional.
As you know, we’re big fans of I have two businesses– At Large PR and Clarens Ghostwriting and Publishing– if you only want to talk about one, we can just talk about At Large PR because we have ghostwritten books for clients through At Large before. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
In terms of PR, we help clients secure coverage in online outlets, newspapers, magazines, television, radio, blogs, and podcasts. One thing that sets us apart is that we guarantee that if you don’t get in at least six outlets in three months, we’ll work for free until you do.
We’re very confident making that promise because most of our clients see those results in a much shorter timeframe, and have even seen those results in their first week. One client secured 50 stories from their first pitch. We’re proud that we’re able to offer clients that kind of security, and we’re proud of the work our team has done to get our clients into outlets that have included The Ellen DeGeneres Show, USA Today, MTV, ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Forbes, Entrepreneur, and many others.
In terms of ghostwriting, our team has varied specialties and can take any idea for a book from concept to reality. We’re proud of the quality of writing we offer, and we’re proud of how much that work has enriched the lives of the authors we work with. I would say that what sets us apart from others is our process, which makes things as easy as possible for the author and ensures that they get a product they are proud to put their name on.
Have you learned any interesting or important lessons due to the COVID-19 crisis?
No… my business flourished during the COVID crisis of 2020 and grew during that time.
