At Cynthia Hughes Literary Management, our mission is to put great books in front of as many readers as possible. With our unique combination of editorial expertise and extensive contacts in the media, bookstores, and the publishing industry, authors and publishers will succeed in making their books stand out.

THE CHLM DIFFERENCE

Besides the typical publicity services, Cynthia Hughes Literary Management offers additional services that authors and publishers will appreciate:

• Contacts: Extensive contacts in both publishing and the media can open doors that are usually closed to the average author or small publisher.
• Special events: We like to think outside the box when it comes to book promotion. We specialize in creating newsworthy special events for promoting your books and generating increased publicity.
• Book-store services: We provide enhanced services for you in book stores by arranging for book signings and hand-selling your book to booksellers to help generate word of mouth.
• Festival appearances: One of the biggest bangs for the author’s buck is appearing at book festivals. CHLM has relationships with the leading book festivals across the country and can pitch authors to those events.
• Book clubs: We’re in the process of developing a list of Texas book clubs, and if your book is book-club material, we will pitch it to various clubs.
• Consultations: CHLM offers consultations on everything from book concepts and proposals to event production and publicity.
• An agent’s perspective: CHLM president Cyndi Hughes also works as a literary agent through Hornfischer Literary Management, and her experience in that capacity brings added perspective and extra value to your publishing projects.
