Remember is one of the launch titles for Agora, the new imprint from Polis Books focused on diverse voices in crime fiction.
To date, Agora has received fantastic publicity, including features in Publisher's Weekly, New York Post, BookRiot and Entertainment Weekly. Commensurate to this we expect Remember to receive review and publicity attention upon publication.
Given the extensive coverage for Agora, we expect endorsements from major authors in both crime fiction and YA.
The author is very active across all social media, and hosts an open community on Tumblr where people going through troubled times can discuss their issues in a non-judgmental space.
The novel's theme of mental health, particularly combined with the author's own outside involvements with mental health awareness, should lead to off-the-book-page coverage.
Patricia Shanae Smith has an extensive network in the Los Angeles area, where the book is also based.
The author will do local events and other appropriate markets.
We will be extensively promoting the Agora launch list in Fall 2019 and Remember will be promoted heavily as one of the launch titles for the list.
