Punctuation PR (PPR) is the premier marketing and PR firm for writers and thinkers.

We turn your research, ideas, and expertise into a public conversation. From media coverage to podcast tours to personal branding, we help you grow your influence, expand your audience, and Make Your Mark.

Publishing houses don’t do enough for their writers. Neither does the academy for their thinkers.

We don’t just pitch publications—we craft visibility across podcasts, social media, and digital platforms where ideas thrive. PPR offers full-service publicity tailored to your voice, your goals, and your field. Every strategy is custom-built—because your work isn’t ordinary, and your public presence shouldn’t be either.

“Ellen Yang (founder of PPR) is better at publicity and marketing than any other entity I’ve ever encountered.”

Laura Goode, award-winning author and Stanford lecturer

“I love working with Ellen on marrying the art and the business of my work.”

Sophia Laurenzi, multi-publication writer and journalist
