HIGHLIGHTS

Our mission of amplifying authors’ voices, especially women, continued during this phenomenal year, where we added new and exciting partners, executed a record number of campaigns, and continued to publish award-winning books.

Top 100 Fastest-Growing, Most Innovative Companies: Founder Crystal Patriarche was awarded the Sun Devil 100 Award for the fourth year in a row.

Working with Leading Streaming Services

In 2021 BookSparks began working with Netflix and NBCUniversal’s Peacock, in addition to our great work with HBOMax in 2020, to help support book-to-screen adaptations of best-selling novels and memoirs.

Collaborating with Reese’s Book Club App

As part of our Summer Reading Challenge (#SRC2021) we collaborated with Reese’s Book Club App on our giveaway of her May pick, The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave, which kicked off our lineup and is being made into a show starring Jennifer Garner.

BOOKSPARKS

As we complete a dozen years in business, our innovative and industry-leading publicity division placed our clients’ books everywhere leading to hundreds of national media hits, extensive influencer coverage and several celebrity mentions.

2021 BRAND PARTNERSHIPS

GIVING BACK

In 2021, we continued to make charitable giving a top priority.

  • For our annual SparksGiving celebration, each staff member chose a charity or organization to support.

  • We continued our efforts to add more BIPOC and LGBTQIA representation to our influencer network, nearing our 50% goal.

  • For the first time, we awarded three STEP (She Writes Press Toward Equality in Publishing) contest recipients in one year:

Mona Alvarado Frazier, author of Strong Women Grow Here

Kat Bishop, author of Crocodile Tears

Fatima Henson, author of Love in the Age of Dragons

Thank you to our team, authors, clients and partners for another phenomenal year. We couldn’t do it without you!
