MEDIA & PR CADRE | MARKETING & PUBLICITY

Fourteen years experience in public and media relations, including acting as spokesperson for book and magazine publishers, soliciting media coverage for a non-profit social agency, and liaising with media for a university sports team.

Fourteen years experience in marketing, publicity, and promotions, including coordinating publicity and marketing campaigns to raise the profile of books and authors, and to raise the profile of a non-profit social housing agency.

I've also been invited, many times, to lecture on the topic of "Marketing on a Shoestring" based on my success in raising the profile of Arsenal Pulp Press – as well as its books and authors – on a limited budget.
