TAYLOR McCRAYCREATIVE WRITER | PUBLICIST

Storytelling that builds credibility and earns visibility.

For entrepreneurs, creators, and organizations.

Taylor McCray, Houston creative writer and publicist

Hi, I'm Taylor.

I love meeting cool people with interesting stories and amplifying what matters to them. My background is in high-pressure communications, where I learned how to find the message that sticks and get it in front of the people who matter. Now I bring that to every client, and you work with me directly from the first conversation to the final placement. The right story, told well, opens doors. Let's find yours.

“I'm not interested in sending your name and story to hundreds of generic inboxes and calling it PR.”

FAQ

Do you guarantee media coverage?

No honest publicist can. Editors and producers decide what runs. What I can promise is a clear story, strong pitches, and media relationships I build and nurture over time.

How soon can we start?

Strategy sessions can usually be booked within a week or two. I take on a limited number of clients each month.

Where do you offer services?

Nationwide. I'm based in Houston, Texas, and work with clients across the country.
