Summary

I’m looking for an experienced media PR specialist who can help secure credible written online media coverage for Professor Shadow, an independent horror storytelling and audio fiction brand. This is not a podcast-booking job. I am not looking for guest appearances, social media management, fake followers, or generic press release distribution. I am looking for someone who can help secure real written articles, creator profiles, interviews, features, reviews, or editorial-style media coverage on credible online publications. Professor Shadow is an independent horror audio fiction brand built around original human-narrated stories, cinematic horror storytelling, audiobooks, video podcasts, books, and dark fantasy audio drama. The main project to pitch is A Man Among Monsters, a completed 12-part, human-narrated horror-fantasy audio fiction series. Season One is approximately 7.5 hours long and was independently written, narrated, edited, and produced under the Professor Shadow brand. I need help securing written media coverage that could include: Online magazine articles Entertainment media features Horror media articles Independent creator profiles Digital media / creator economy articles Audio fiction / audiobook industry articles Arts and culture features Local, national, or international online press Review articles Written interviews “Independent creator” or “rising horror storyteller” features The ideal person will be able to: Identify credible online publications suitable for this story Create strong article angles Pitch editors, writers, contributors, or media contacts Help shape the article positioning Secure written coverage where possible Track all outreach clearly Provide links and proof of any published coverage Important: I am looking for credible media placements, not low-quality paid press release syndication or obvious content-farm articles. If any placement is paid, sponsored, contributor-based, or guaranteed, please state that clearly in your proposal. Possible article angles include: Professor Shadow: the independent creator building a horror audio fiction universe One creator independently writes, narrates, edits, and produces a 7.5-hour horror audio drama The rise of human-narrated horror audio fiction in an AI-saturated creator landscape Building a cinematic horror storytelling brand across audiobooks, podcasts, video, books, and social media A Man Among Monsters: a completed 12-part dark fantasy horror audio series Why original horror audio fiction is finding new life across digital platforms Please include in your proposal: Examples of written media coverage you have helped secure The types of publications you can realistically target Whether you have direct media contacts Whether placements are earned, paid, sponsored, contributor-based, or a mixture Your suggested first-phase plan Your fee for an initial test campaign How many article opportunities or pitches you would attempt in the first phase How you will report progress and results This will begin as a small test project. I want to see whether you can identify realistic media opportunities and begin securing credible written coverage for the Professor Shadow brand.
