Successful collaborations

  • "Jessica Pellien is everything you could want in a publicist - responsible, responsive, well-connected, creative, and caring. Each project she works on is better for her involvement, and her clients learn valuable skills that are applicable in any future endeavors."

    Eric Schwartz, director, NYU Press

  • "Jessica and her team are savvy and dedicated professionals whose vision and verve helped breathe fresh life into my work. They found ways to engage audiences that I’d never anticipated, and the results of the campaign exceeded anything I’d imagined would be possible. Highly recommended!"

    Benjamin Shestakofsky, author of Behind the Startup

  • "The best decision I made regarding marketing my book was to hire Pellien Public Relations. Jessica did an outstanding job designing a highly effective promotional campaign. The digital marketing advertisements, podcast interviews, reviews, and articles that she created or enabled had a tremendous impact on increasing awareness of this new title among its target audience. I highly recommend Jessica and PPR to any author or publisher seeking to maximize sales of their work."

    Bill Mills, author of Agent of the Iron Cross

  • "Working with Jess and Kailey was a very productive and enjoyable experience. They are true professionals: creative, competent, and caring. They were able to promote my book in many excellent places I could never have landed on my own, including bookstores, podcasts, and radio shows."

    Gerald Epstein, author of Busting the Bankers' Club

  • "Jessica and Kailey did an outstanding job in the publicity of my book. In particular, they were very proactive in thinking about how to hook my book to current news events, and reaching audiences beyond my traditional strike zone of economics and business."

    Alex Edmans, author of May Contain Lies

  • "What's so good about working with Jessica on a book publicity campaign? Where do I start? First, she made the effort to truly understand the book and its audience. She GOT us -- and that was extremely important to us. Because of that, she didn't try to push us to do publicity that wouldn't really find our audience, but she was laser focused. She introduced us to a variety of opportunities and tools that we would never have thought of on our own and she has great relationships with high profile media. She was a true partner throughout -- and even after book launch. I know she was genuinely rooting for us the whole time. I can't say enough good things about working with Jessica. Highly recommend!"

    Karen Dillon, NY Times best-selling author, partner on Harvard Business Review Family Business Handbook

  • "Jessica and her team are true public relations pros who leave no stone unturned. They both dig into the subject matter of a book and an author's expertise as well as ALL the media possibilities and with the added benefit of their wonderful relationships with the media and superior knowledge of marketing, they have produced great campaigns for several of our UC Press books. We look forward to continuing to work together!"

    Emily Grandstaff, publicity director, University

    of California Press

  • "Jessica played such a key role in making my book a success. She brought an array of connections that resulted in podcast interviews, live show appearances, and blogs that drove word of mouth sales. Most importantly, she took the time to read my book, understand it, and really invest in it emotionally. She's such a dedicated hard worker, I'd highly recommend getting her on your team to promote your book!"

    Rob Chesnut, former General Counsel and Chief Ethics Officer at Airbnb and author of the Bestseller Intentional Integrity: How Smart Companies Can Lead An Ethical Revolution

  • "Jessica's wisdom helped me understand my agency as an author to proactively collaborate on the outward-facing narrative and get the most out of every PR engagement. I felt ready thanks to Jessica's counsel!"

    Kevin Bethune, author of Reimagining Design: Unlocking Strategic Innovation

  • "Working with Jessica was a real pleasure. A true professional with so many contacts and great ideas. Highly recommended!"

    Eric Cline, author of 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed

  • "What an adventure we had! Of all the book publicity professionals I’ve worked with, Jessica really went the extra mile. She took the time to get to know me and my book, and promoted us both with genuine belief and a passion bordering on obsessiveness. No potential reviewer was allowed to slip through her net! I’ll treasure the memory of the accolades stacking up and the reviews pouring in. No book could have a better debut, and no author could wish for a better advocate."

    Katrina Van Grouw, author of The Unfeathered Bird

  • “We had the privilege of working with Jessica on promoting our graphic novel, Power On! She was always a creative, wise cheerleader for our work and one who fully understood our larger mission: to spark important conversations among youth, educators, and their families about issues of equity and ethics in tech. She was sensitive to our mission and helped us forge and support partnerships that would help market our book to wider audiences. Jessica is also a great communicator, responsive, and wonderful to collaborate with. We highly endorse her PR work!”

    Jean Ryoo and Jane Margolis, authors of Power On!

  • "Jess worked tirelessly and brilliantly to promote two of my books, both of which sold more copies that I ever thought possible. I couldn't believe the number of media events she landed. She really understood the books, wrote great pitch materials, then brought them into the world as if they were her own. When I was just starting out a friend said 'nobody will work harder for your book than you will.' He hadn't met Jess."

    Lee McIntyre, author of Post-Truth, How to Talk to a Science Denier, The Scientific Attitude, and On DIsinformation

  • "There is serious power on the Pellien PR team! Jessica and Kailey have gone above and beyond at all stages of our campaign collaboration, from the relationships to the results. They are thoughtful, responsive, creative publicists with sharp instincts for all facets of book and author promotion. An in-house publicist's dream partner!"

    Katryce Leslie, senior publicist, University of California Press

  • "Jessica did a fantastic job helping raise awareness, obtain interviews and book reviews for my book. No doubt I would hire her again in a minute!"

    Howard Friedman, author of Ultimate Price: The Value We Place on Life
