Overview
((PLEASE NOTE. As of November 2024 I am considering submissions with a publication date of April 2025 or later. Exceptions include ongoing work with authors/publishers I have worked with prior to this time.))
I am a New York-based publicist/marketer specializing in the online promotion of books. Since 1996 I have been helping writers, publishers, agents and publicists spread the word about their books and projects.
My goal is to work in tandem with the publisher and author to ensure no stone is unturned. I strive to build awareness of my clients' books/projects by securing coverage in publications and on blogs, websites, podcasts, social media channels, and other outlets, and by exploring partnerships.
If you are preparing to launch a 2025 release and need publicity support, I would love to hear from you.
Throughout my tenure spearheading online marketing and publicity campaigns for AuthorsOnTheWeb/The Book Report Network (2002-2013), and as an independent publicist (1996-present), I have had the opportunity to promote books by a variety of wonderful writers.

N/A
I began experimenting with online publicity in 1996 while I was still a student. After seeing how I could use the Internet to connect readers and writers, my career goals shifted from journalism to the book industry. Novelist Chelsea Quinn Yarbro was my first client; I still work with her on select projects. I continued taking on select freelance projects after joining The Book Report Network (1998-2002 volunteer; 2002-2013 freelancer-turned-staffer) and interning at Tor/Forge Books (June 2000). In August 2013 I left my staff position at TBRN to freelance full-time.
