Thorough and especially useful to the publicity novice.

This book takes a casual approach to the subject of publicity. The book is thorough and especially useful to the publicity novice. In addition to a useful dose of Eastern philosophy and her own experience as a PR professional, author Raleigh Pinskey offers hundreds of tips from the editors, reporters and television booking agents who ultimately decide to cover, or not to cover, your story.
