About the agency
Kaye Publicity is a Chicago-headquartered literary public relations agency founded in 2009 by Dana Kaye. The company represents book authors and publishers, coordinating media coverage, book launches and online marketing to develop readership and recognition. Its About page notes that it has operated fully remotely since 2017, with staff working across the Midwest and several other U.S. regions.
Kaye’s biography describes early work as a freelance writer and book critic after a fiction-writing degree at Columbia College Chicago. Current team names include publicity director Kaitlyn Kennedy, whose earlier experience includes Penguin Random House, HarperCollins and Sourcebooks, along with publicists Katelynn Dreyer and Erica Tempesta. The firm also has marketing and events staff, supporting author communication and appearances beyond a one-off book announcement.
The site lists recent media for Geneva Lee, Sara Z. Carson and Cynthia Pelayo and has dedicated offerings for authors who want lower-touch DIY publicity resources. Those examples should be understood as dated coverage and promoted client highlights. Its verified 2009 origin, literary-only focus, remote-team structure and experienced in-house publishing specialists define its niche.
