“Emily Lavelle was my project manager and Chief of Staff prior to and during the launch of my book. She is the smartest, most organized, well-connected, all-around incredible asset I know — whether you’re launching a book or for any project or endeavor.  She’s an absolute gem to work with and an all-around great human.  If you have the chance, work with her!!!”

Sally Kohn, author and TV personality, author of The Opposite of Hate

“Emily Lavelle has the perfect qualities for a top-rate publicist: she’s extremely strategic, knowledgeable, dedicated—and successful! She kept me engaged in her plans for the campaign and informed about her progress, and she was a pleasure to work with. It was also critical that Emily coordinated well with my publisher’s publicity team to avoid duplicated or confusing efforts.

I highly recommend her.”

“My experience of working with Emily Lavelle has been nothing short of brilliant. It takes a team effort, and a lot of hard work to ensure that books get into the hands of readers. Having Emily on your team is one way to make your chances of success a lot higher as she goes above and beyond for the authors she represents.”

“Working with Emily was an absolute pleasure! She was professional, dedicated, and creative in her work, and really understood our goals for our campaign. Emily exceeded our expectations and was able to secure a number of very high-profile media opportunities, and went above and beyond in our interactions. The media opportunities she secured made a real impact on our brand visibility, positioning as a thought leader, and most importantly, promoting The Burnout Epidemic to a global audience.

 

Emily made the promotion process easy with her clear communication, responsiveness, and genuine enthusiasm for the book. We would certainly work with Emily again for any project.”

and author of The Burnout Epidemic

"I could not have asked for a more attentive reader, a more enthusiastic and indefatigable champion, or a more savvy strategist for thinking about the best ways to connect my book with an audience. Emily went above and beyond. I also know I’ll find her media training advice useful for a lifetime."

Prudence Peiffer, Creative Director at MoMA, author of The Slip

"Emily Lavelle is a top-notch publicist who delivers big results. We worked with Emily under unusual circumstances -- launching a book on a difficult subject with 34 co-authors on a very short timeline. She was more than up for the challenge. Organized and knowledgeable, Emily worked seamlessly across our whole team. She also was a delight to work with."

Philip Zelikow, former Executive Director of the 9/11 Commission, director of the Miller Center of Public Affairs

"Working with Emily Lavelle as a publicist was a real blessing, particularly as a debut author. Emily was such a fierce advocate and champion for me and my book, while also ensuring I felt confident and prepared for any and all interviews and media I did. I'm incredibly grateful to have had her expertise guiding me during such an exciting, nerve-wracking time."

Alejandra Oliva, Whiting Nonfiction Grant Winner, author of Rivermouth 

 

“I don’t know how I got so lucky as to have Emily Lavelle as my publicist.  Not only did she have the most powerful connections, but she also had a deep knowledge and respect for the content of my book.  Because of it, she was able to deliver so many remarkable opportunities for me.  She is the real deal and then some!”
Donna Hicks, Associate at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs, Harvard University

“Emily helped me prepare for interviews, created smart press materials and pitches, and overall steeled my nerves to help me through every step of the publicity process.  Her media relationships and thoughtful pitching resulted in many impactful media placements for my book, which sparked additional media interest, and even better—thoughtful and fun conversations about the ideas I presented in the book. I highly recommend working with her."
