We can do a brand audit, I can share resources, advise on self-publishing vs hybrid publishing vs. traditional publishing.

PRAISE FROM CLIENTS

Talent can easily go unseen without the right connections to the media. Beth and Carina know how to get your work noticed. I have been fortunate to work with both of them over the years. They have helped my work be seen in such media as The New York Times, CNN, Dr Oz and many other media outlets. While there are no guarantees for press results, if you have the opportunity, take a chance on them.

Carina is a consummate professional who stays the course until the job is done. I was really impressed with her commitment and tenacity in seeking out opportunities and relationships to ensure our campaign reached as many people as possible. I’d really recommend Carina to you as an effective and reliable PR expert!

I worked very closely with Carina for many years and came to rely on her in so many ways. She is a very loyal and hard-working person who goes far beyond any job description of publicist. She was instrumental in helping me to promote my books, and others that I endorsed as well.
