About Me
Hi! I’m Mike Henton. I’m a book publicist and consultant with a dozen years of experience in publishing.
I specialize in providing publicity support for nonfiction books on self-help, mindfulness, mental health, Buddhism, and related topics.
Throughout my career, I’ve promoted the works of numerous renowned authors, including Joan Halifax and Pema Chödrön, and I’ve secured publicity coverage from media outlets including The Washington Post and CNN.
Before becoming a publicist, I was an Associate Editor acquiring books on investing and personal finance. While those subject areas are no longer my focus, my time as an acquisitions editor expanded my knowledge of the publishing industry.
I live in northern Colorado with my fiancée and our cat, Cordelia. I donate 2% of my annual earnings to Imagination Library of Colorado which provides free books to kids.
My current publicity projects include Losslessness by Michael Todd Fink and several upcoming books from Dharma Publishing.
