Long Biography
I’m Beverly and I’ve been a book and comic publicist since 2012. I live in a very large Toronto suburb, but I am actually a Floridian who got transplanted “up north” after marrying my awesome Canadian husband.
How I got started with book publicity is that I was working on finishing my marketing degree before I turned 40 (which I totally accomplished!) and during this period I got a part-time internship with a local publisher.
Through 2012 when working with them I met amazing people and worked on amazing books. When we eventually parted ways I thought there was no way I was going to be lucky enough to stay in publishing.
But when the word got out I wasn’t with the publisher anymore, people started emailing me to ask if I could do for them what I did during the internship.
A business was born!
I worked part-time on the business through 2013 (while finishing my degree and working a demanding full-time job,) and then in early 2014 I quit my day job and I haven’t looked back.
So that’s where I’m at! Do you have any questions for me about what I do? Email me any time.
