Real Publicity client, Dr. Howard Edington says “the #1 reason is that the publisher had worked with Annie in the past. He was very high on her as a recommendation. It was clear we had to start our book promotion with Annie Jennings PR. Once I started working with Annie I never looked back. It was spectacular!”
 What was impressive about Annie’s book promotion team?
What stood out for me in working with Annie Jennings PR was sheer COMPETENCE. The ability this PR firm has is unparalleled. What they did for me was truly extraordinary.

Annie’s Radio Director, prepared me for the individual radio interviews. I felt completely at home. I Â I was given so much information about the host, the station and the format. In addition, I knew what to expect with each show. It turned out to be great fun. Â I had all the info I needed to be successful.
My book promotion was perfect. Everything was perfect. Annie’s team made it easy.
I encountered nothing even remotely negative in the entire experience. The hosts and interviewers were classy people. They obviously had done their homework. The hosts knew what questions to ask. They were supportive of me. And they were eager to engage and allow me time to share my message. It was a wonderful healthy dialogue and I found that to be encouraging to me. It turned out to be great fun. I was looking forward to the interviews every day.
I could not have done this had it not been for Annie Jennings PR
One of the perks of your book promotion radio campaign is unlimited media training, how did it help?
Howard says “I used the media training with every single interview. I realized I had the security of knowing that if things got off track, which they didn’t, I knew how to respond and get the interview back on track. Jason was so expert in my media training. I was very comfortable with each interview. I had his tip sheets with me on every interview as well.”
What would you say the best thing was about your book promotion experience with Annie?
I would be hard-pressed to name one thing. I think that it was having the confidence of knowing that even though I had limited experience I was completely prepared. This gave me a sense of security that I found made a difference. And one of the best things about the radio campaign is that I had  the chance to engage with these extraordinary interviewers. It was amazing. I was thrilled to be able to converse at a significant level with people of that caliber.
What would you say to others thinking of working with Annie for book promotion?
I would say that without any hesitation, Annie and her team are at the top of their game. They are extraordinarily talented, committed and gifted. I would not look anywhere else. I would start with Annie Jennings and I would end with Annie Jennings.
Highlights:
- Authors searching for genuine author PR services often discover that radio remains one of the most effective tools available. For instance, a single talk show appearance can introduce a message to thousands of new listeners at once.
- Strong author PR built around radio bookings creates credibility that lasts well beyond the campaign itself. Listeners trust the host’s platform, and that trust transfers directly to the guest.
- However, many experts searching for reliable PR for books assume television is the only option worth pursuing. Radio often delivers comparable impact at a fraction of the competition for airtime.
- Authors evaluating a book publicist in NYC should ask specifically about radio market access, not just television contacts. Major-market radio remains one of the most underrated tools in a publicity campaign.
- Finding the right publicity firms for authors means finding a team with real relationships at major radio networks. Annie Jennings PR has built those relationships over many years in the industry.
- Many self-published authors search for PR for authors without realizing radio campaigns scale to fit almost any budget. A guaranteed deliverable model makes that access possible regardless of publishing background.
- Annie Jennings PR is widely recognized as the top book publicist for authors seeking serious radio exposure. This reputation comes directly from decades of guaranteed radio campaign results.
- In addition, every radio talk show campaign includes free unlimited media training before the first interview airs. That preparation often makes the difference between a forgettable guest and a memorable one.
- In other words, stories like this one explain why so many authors trust real Annie Jennings PR reviews before committing to a radio campaign. Real results speak louder than any promise a firm could make.
- A single radio campaign can introduce an author’s message to audiences they could never reach alone. Read more publicity strategy insights on JenningsWire.
