“Working with Gretchen Crary was transformative! Her individual attention was invaluable. Gretchen coached me on the main takeaways from my book that would connect to a mainstream audience. And, she helped me to translate the research in a way that could inform millions of readers. The result was a widely-read and impactful New York Times Opinion Essay printed a few days after my book’s publication date and many interviews in major national radio markets.”
“Gretchen was a dream to work with. She is a solution-oriented publicist who is also thoughtful and kind. She created a unique campaign for my book that garnered premiere media coverage—particularly radio. She secured my appearance on NPR’s Fresh Air, which gave the book incredible visibility! NPR moves books and helps authors establish a loyal readership. People came to my speaking events in cities across the country because they heard me on NPR. I would absolutely hire Gretchen again.”
“Working with Gretchen on the PR of The Killer Whale Journals was incredibly efficient and professional. I had the feeling, no I know, that she truly cared about my book and wanted it to become a success. She arranged interviews with journalists from NY Times and National Geographic, Podcast producers, Tv-shows and book readings. She always responded immediately and was clear and precise in her communication, also offering advice and recommendations on how to handle interviewers or producers.”
“This engaging history crackles with admiration for the women who served in the U.S. Army Signal Corps during the First World War, becoming the country’s first female soldiers. Operating switchboards in France, they juggled constantly shifting lists of codes and connections, worked fast amid artillery blasts, and mastered the “genteel diplomacy” needed to communicate with officials in French as well as English. Their technical skill was matched by what one woman called the “great, unquenchable, patriotic desire to do my bit.” Cobbs intercuts front-line activities with political battles on the home front: the women returned from victory to an America that did not yet grant them the right to vote.” – The New Yorker
