Kathy Daneman has been a publicist for more than two decades. So… what exactly does a publicist do?

“What I do is work with authors to get their books covered,” she explained. “To get book reviews, to get interviews, to place original essays, to get them on tv, to get radio interviews, to go on tour. And I help them come up with ideas for original pieces.”

She’ll even help authors with research and help them come up with interesting topics related to their books. Learn more about what she does, and how scholastic journalism helped her get there.
