I am a book publicist with experience working both at a traditional book publisher and as a freelancer. I support my author clients through every step of the book promotion process, from book blurbs and Amazon reviews to media interviews and book signings.

Services I offer include:

• Media kit creation

• Strategic counsel

The best book PR plan starts months before a book’s publication date, so please feel free to reach out to me even if you are just finishing up your first draft. The earlier I start, the more buzz I can build for you!
