Texas Writer’s Month began in 1994 as an effort to get Texas bookstores and media outlets to feature their local authors more prominently and a way for the community at large to celebrate the craft of writing and the work that goes into publishing books.
This year, Texas Writer’s Month is being brought to you by the Author to Influencer Accelerator, a DIY book publicity membership community. Texas Writer’s Month is being celebrated a little differently this year due to covid-19, but no less important.
PR by the Book, an Austin-based literary publicity firm, revitalized the celebration last year. Led by 23-year book publicity veteran and TV personality Marika Flatt, PR by the Book has always seen this celebration as being important for the state.
Please help us get the word out by promoting the Authors below by sharing there work:

About the Author to Influencer Accelerator: Doing their part to promote a digital learning platform and community during this time of sheltering-in-place, PR by the Book has launched a DIY membership community for authors who don’t have the budget to hire a professional to take them from preparation through promotion on their book journey.
The Author to Influencer Accelerator offers an ideal way for authors to tap into what they need during this time of quarantine. Due to folks being at home, able to spend more time online, learning and applying those skills, PR by the Book cut the price in half for the month of April.
April is also Drop Everything and Read (DEAR) Month, and is a great opportunity to share about Author to Influencer to help authors learn.
