"Annie just 'gets it' when it comes to PR. Having worked on several TV shows across the major national networks, she knows what producers and bookers are looking for and, most importantly, how to insert her clients into the news. She has an abundance of valuable public relations knowledge to offer, and while she already acts as a teacher and mentor to the students who take her course at NYU, it's only fitting that she would pen a book about the ins and outs of working in PR so that others can learn from her. I found this book to be insightful and chock full of PR morsels and tips for both established PR practitioners and those who are thinking of entering the field."-- "Monique Dinor, Vice President, Earned Media"
