Author of Pity the Beast

Tom embodies so many attributes that are vital to the success of a book launching into the American publishing scene. He knows exactly where a book sits in the literary ecosystem. He also knows how to translate that understanding to his huge national network of literary people (book reviews, booksellers, book bloggers, book readers). He works tirelessly to reach those people. Tom has a realistic yet deeply optimist attitude toward his work. His drive to sell a book he loves is infectious. People trust him. They listen to him. They select the books he recommends from the stacks and stacks on their desks, and open to page one. That’s the chance all writers hope for.

Tom gave me faith that my books would be found and they were found: by the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, New York Review of Books, and many others. My books appeared on shelves of bookstores all across North America because of the relationships he was able to leverage.

Owner of Challengers Comics

Hailey is concise, thorough, and probably understood my industry better than I do. She made it easy to focus our outreach to the areas that best suited our needs while concurrently helping me understand why those were the areas to focus on. Hailey listened to all my concerns and came up with solutions for the things I thought were beyond my reach.

I've been doing this a long time, and at times feel burnt out, yet Hailey's energy and enthusiasm make me want to be better at my job. It was a true pleasure to work with her and I welcome any opportunity to do so again.

Author of The Exhibition of Persephone Q

Tom knows the independent book market and booksellers like no one else. He's a true connoisseur and literary evangelist, with the relationship network to get your book into exactly the right hands. I couldn't have asked for a better publicist.

Tom has it all---the network, the experience, the know-how--but what truly distinguishes him is his deep conviction in the value of quality literature. There's no better sales pitch than authentic enthusiasm from a true connoisseur.

Educator and Children’s Book Author

As an author and an educator, it is often difficult to find ways to get your work out far and wide to reach as many of your readers, supporters, and general audience members as possible. However, I can say wholeheartedly that working with Ms. Dezort helped me reach my audience in new and powerful ways!

Ms. Dezort supported me in tremendous ways, from creating promotional items that I could share, to attending some of my events. Her tenacity, creativity, kindness, and broad knowledge base made her an invaluable member of my publicity team. She is dependable, she is passionate, and she is an all-around wonderful person!
