Little Bites, would you mind sharing why you weren't happy with the publicist? I'm thinking of hiring one and would love to know your experience and see if there are aspects I might learn from! Thank you!
I felt like they constantly dropped the ball and every time I mentioned something they deflected blame rather than take responsibility. Silly mistakes like terrible grammar and spelling in press releases (including my name, not sending books to hot leads, generic outreach, I even had some journalists let me know that they were unimpressed with the way they were contacted
Loved reading this - as someone who did hire a publicist and wasn't happy with it, it's something top of mind for future books!
Thank you!!

Thank you, Sally! Whitney is truly amazing.
