“Every book is unique and requires a different approach and I love dreaming up innovative ways to get extraordinary titles the attention they deserve, whether this be through features, interviews, articles by the author, or online and in person events. The process of publishing a book should be an exciting and collaborative process, with the author feeling supported and encouraged by their publicist. I believe in the personality behind PR - I like to strip back the PowerPoints and build a strong relationship with my authors”
