Review:

I received a free ecopy of this book for an honest review.

I thought that this book was going to be a resource for authors who want to publicize their book on their own. It actually explains what to expect from a publicist and what the author can do to help the publicist promote their book. 

This is a great resource for any author who is using, or is planning to hire, a publicist.
