"A friend recommended Kelila Shapiro/ShapiroPR when I was ready to publish my next books, The Father Factor and The Mother Factor. Her PR campaign brought tremendous press for my book in the U.S. and International media. I appeared in national media, including Good Morning America, MSNBC, CNN, Headline News with Glenn Beck, NPR, and a host of other newspapers, magazines, TV programs, and live radio. My Amazon rankings were huge in the U.S., Canada, and Great Britain. The rights to my book were purchased by publishing houses in seven languages, including Chinese. Needless to say,
we worked together on my next book as well with tremendous success here, and around the globe."
