Coriolis Company

Coriolis Company is the leading book publicity and media training firm for scholars, thought leaders, and public intellectuals. We specialize in academic book publicity, ensuring that research-driven works receive the attention they deserve. We work with Pulitzer Prize-winning historians, MacArthur “Genius” Fellows, National Book Award finalists, Guggenheim Fellows, Poet Laureates, and professors whose research shapes policy and public thought. Our expertise is particularly sought after by BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and historically marginalized scholars, whose work challenges dominant narratives and deserves to be at the forefront of public conversations. We are not a traditional PR firm that runs “book-only” campaigns. None of our campaigns focus solely on the book. We position our clients as experts in their fields, promoting their speaker series, curatorial projects, fellowships, podcasts, and the other ways they shape public discourse. Our campaigns have secured: 1. Media placements in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, NPR, BBC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, The Guardian, The New Yorker, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Times Literary Supplement, Bookforum, and thousands more. Speaking invitations at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, UCLA, Oxford, the LA Times Festival of Books, the Brooklyn Book Festival, hundreds of bookstores, and major international conferences. Features on leading intellectual platforms including Vox, Slate, FiveThirtyEight, The Ezra Klein Show, and many more. We also provide: 1. Digital strategy & social media consulting, helping authors build an effective online presence that fits their workload and audience. Website design for authors, crafting media-ready, professional websites tailored to their professional personas. Ongoing graphic design to support authors’ various projects. Our clients are busy, and they need a team that handles everything—and does it exceptionally well. That’s Coriolis.
