Independent book publicist Kathleen Schmidt, who lives and works in storm weary New Jersey has made a wonderful offer.
"Publishing friends/authors: I will match any author's monetary donation for Hurricane Sandy Relief with minutes of free PR consultation(with me, via phone). Example: If they give $20, they get a 20 minute consultation. Spread the word."
If you have a book which will be published in the next year, this is an excellently affordable way to pick a publicist's brain. You can also find Kathleen on Twitter as @BookGirl96.
