Published on June 17, 2026, the PaperTrue article evaluated leading book marketing companies based on their services, features, costs and ability to help authors reach readers in an increasingly competitive publishing marketplace.

PaperTrue highlighted MindStir Media’s integrated approach to book marketing, noting that the company treats promotion as part of a coordinated publishing and author-branding ecosystem rather than as an isolated, short-term service.

According to the ranking, MindStir Media’s campaigns are designed to help authors build momentum, credibility and sustained discoverability over time. PaperTrue identified the company as particularly valuable for entrepreneurs, executives and serious authors who view their books as long-term business, branding or career assets.

“Being ranked No. 1 by PaperTrue is another meaningful acknowledgment of the comprehensive work our team performs for authors every day,” said J.J. Hebert, founder and president of MindStir Media. “A successful book marketing campaign should do more than create a temporary increase in attention. It should strengthen the author’s brand, establish credibility, reach new readers and build momentum that can continue well beyond the initial launch.”

• Public relations placements and media outreach

“Authors face more competition for attention than ever before,” Hebert added. “Publishing a quality book is essential, but authors must also have a credible and consistent strategy for bringing that book to the marketplace. Our objective is to give authors access to professional marketing opportunities that would otherwise be difficult to coordinate on their own.”
