“My experience with Smith Publicity was nothing but outstanding. My publicist understood my desire to “get the word out” about my book’s message – understanding how to manage food allergies in the school setting. She worked tirelessly on my campaign, her outreach was extensive, and the results were fantastic! She secured media coverage for me from the very beginning, including radio interviews across the country and Canada, placement of articles written by me in numerous magazines throughout the U.S., interviews as an expert with newspaper reporters, including for the Miami Herald, and book reviews in locations such as the Washington Post. My publicist was a true professional who was committed to my project. Her responsiveness to my questions and needs were both immediate and impressive. To say that I am thrilled with Smith Publicity and the exposure they garnered for my book would be an understatement!
