  • Find author, genre, topic, and local podcasts.
  • Detect guest forms and booking emails.
  • Draft a guest angle instead of a book advertisement.

Hi — I found your recent coverage and thought this would be useful for your readers...

Authors need the right shows, not just more shows

The best podcast pitch fits the host's format. AgentOutreach looks for shows where your book, expertise, story, or audience naturally belongs. That could mean author interview podcasts, genre shows, topic podcasts, local media, or business podcasts for nonfiction authors.

Guest booking paths are often hidden

Some shows have forms, some list emails, and some bury booking information on contact pages. AgentOutreach extracts those paths and gives you a form packet or email draft.

The pitch is about the episode

Hosts do not want a press release. They want a segment their audience will enjoy. AgentOutreach drafts around the audience benefit, suggested topic, brief credibility, and a simple ask.

Pair podcast outreach with reviewer outreach

Podcast interviews create attention; reviewer and blogger outreach can reinforce it. Authors can approve both categories and run a steady weekly rhythm.
