Testimonials
Working with Julie has been a delight–and a smart career move. I will be working with her for all future books. She’s awesome. I’ve worked with some of the best publicists in the business, and she’s one of the best. Immediately I began to notice a difference, and by the time the paperback came out, a buzz had started. Mermaids and my entire backlist has shown a huge spike in sales–including a book that was published over 20 years ago. All 6 books have had a sort of revival. In this market, this is incredible.
She worked beautifully with my publicist, agent, and editor. More to the point, I’m really picky about whom I work with, and I absolutely adore her. When I was on the tour, I had a chance to see how other booksellers love her, too. Julie is very sincere, with a big heart, and this really comes through. Many times a publicist just goes through the motions, but Julie is thinking and working all the time. All the time!! When the new books come out, I’m giving Julie carte blanc. She went with me on the tour and made it so effortless that I relaxed for the first time ever and actually ENJOYED the book events.

I am working with Julie Schoerke on the launch of my book, “The Golden Rules for Managers”. Julie’s mastery of book publicity and promotion is a great asset — she has identified avenues for book promotion that I never would have uncovered. Her creativity is every-where-apparent in helping shape a book trailer that will “go viral.” She has chased publications to run my articles, assembled blurbs to promote the book and is helping me shape a website that will promote this and other books, as well as my speaking a consulting practice. I recommend her highly and hope you will use her for your next project.
