"This is the book I wanted when I was twenty- two years old and jumping into the world of publicity, wide - eyed and unaware of what was ahead. After many years of first- hand experiences, ground breaking campaigns, and my fair share of horror stories, looking back I realized that the process did not have to be so long and tedious. I then vowed that someday I would gather everything that I learned along the way, compile my findings in a book and share with those who have this unexplainable adoration for the profession of publicity" states Nicole Garner  - Author of "Are You In?
