Overview
I'm a book lover who has had the good fortune to work in publishing as a literary publicist for over a decade now. My career started in-house at HarperCollins and Hachette before moving into a contract/freelance role.
In my years of book publicity, I've worked with debut authors, high-profile authors and self-published authors, helping with media relations, content creation and social media.
I've been able to book authors on a wide-range of media, including FOX & Friends, TODAY, The 700 Club, 100 Huntley St., The New York Times, PEOPLE, Teen Vogue, Bustle, Elite Daily, NY Post, Christianity Today, and much more.
I'm available for monthly publicity campaigns that will include press kit creation and media outreach. Throughout the campaign, I provide bi-weekly written PR reports and am available for questions/guidance throughout the entire process.

Present
I'm a literary publicist with a decade of experience promoting authors and their books in both the secular and faith-based worlds. Throughout my work with both traditionally and self-published authors I have secured coverage in a wide range of mainstream and Christian media, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, FOX News, USA Today, Newsweek, Parade, Better Homes & Gardens, Yahoo! Lifestyle, The 700 Club, Life Today, 100 Huntley St., RELEVANT, Charisma, The Christian Post and much more.
In a publicity campaign, I create and execute on all aspects of a media relations strategy to secure targeted media opportunities. This includes drafting press materials, mailing advanced reader copies to book reviewers, conducting outreach to broadcast/print/online outlets, and consulting with authors on all promotional efforts.

Projects
Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?
Hachette hired me as the publicist for Paula Faris' children's book, Who Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up? We focused on mainly family-centric podcasts, booking her on numerous outlets like Livin' the Bream, The Christian Parenting Podcast, Mom Next Door, All Mom Does, and Bob Goff.
The Desecrators: Defeating the Cancel Culture Mob and Reclaiming One Nation Under God
TAN Books brought me on as the publicist for Matt Schlapp's book, The Desecrators. As the Chairman for CPAC, this book required a focus on political and news-driven media, as well as faith-based outlets. I secured interviews for Matt and his co-author, Deal Hudson, on media outlets including Newsmax, Glenn Beck, Dennis Prager, Mark Levin, Eric Metaxas, CBN's Faith Nation, EWTN, and dozens of others.
Whatever Happens: How to Stand Firm in Your Faith When the World Is Falling Apart
HarperCollins hired me to conduct the publicity campaign for Pastor Robert Morgan's book Whatever Happens, focusing on faith-based media. I secured coverage in top Christian media outlets across broadcast, print and online, including 100 Huntley St., Outreach Magazine, and Moody Radio.
