Overview
"Dozens of authors and publishers have told me that Kelly Hughes is simply the very best publicist with whom they've ever worked. They're right. Kelly is wonderfully talented and amazingly hard-working: her carefully crafted plan for publicizing my latest book helped get the book noticed (and reviewed) in nationally known newspapers, magazines, television shows, radio programs and websites. She is unfailingly helpful, energetic and creative." —James Martin, S.J., author of My Life with the Saints and Jesus: A Pilgrimage
"Kelly Hughes brings the perfect skill set to the table. She knows and loves books. She knows and loves authors. She knows and loves journalists and media. Kelly can take complex ideas and see others their implications for culture. She can take popular ideas and help others see their deep moorings. She has single handedly put a face on our Press. Kelly’s boundless energy and imagination is only exceeded by her personal warmth. DeChant-Hughes is professional from first to last." —Carey C. Newman, Director, Baylor University Press
"I'd been on the receiving end of Kelly Hughes's excellent press releases and engaging phone calls for several years as a member of the media. I was impressed by her right away—how refreshing to find a publicist who genuinely loves to read! When the time came for me to find an outside publicist for my own book, there was no question in my mind about who I wanted. Kelly went far above and beyond the call of duty in getting the word out about my book. I would work with DeChant-Hughes again in a heartbeat. This agency is quite simply the best around." —Jana Riess, author of Flunking Sainthood; The Twible; and What Would Buffy Do? The Vampire Slayer as Spiritual Guide
