The team
Cathy Lewis
President
Cathy Lewis worked as an in-house publicist at publishing houses for seven years before launching her own company in 1994, convinced she could serve authors better. Her focused, issue-oriented campaigns blend classic and new media and have landed authors on the Wall Street Journal and New York Times bestseller lists. Her authors have been featured in virtually every prestigious business publication, national newspaper, women’s magazine and online venue in North America, with frequent regional and national radio and television. She helps clients become regular bloggers at sites such as Huffington Post, Forbes.com, Inc.com and PsychologyToday.com.
David C. Lewis
Vice President
David helps authors focus their messaging and establish their brand through frequent interviews and appearances on podcasts, radio and television, and by becoming contributors at sites such as Thrive Global, Forbes.com, Chief Executive and PsychologyToday.com. David lives with his wife, Loida, and three children in Woodstock, New York.
Yetti
Stress Buster and Security Chief
Yetti got her start in public relations on the heels of Cathy Lewis and is the firm’s longest-serving and most loyal staff member. Her greatest PR coup is the personal brand she created, Lap Dog, though she often regrets the media’s negative spin on it. Yetti does most of her best work lying down.

Should I hire a big PR agency or a small book PR agency?
A small book PR agency suits authors who want close attention. C.S.

Book publicity is also its only focus, unlike general agencies that serve many industries.
Do you work with indie and self-published authors?
Yes. Independent authors are a priority for C.S. Lewis & Co. Without a publisher’s publicity department, an indie author needs someone whose whole workday is spent getting them into the news, and that is exactly what the firm does. Each campaign is customized to your expertise, goals, region and travel schedule.
