Testimonials

"Kelila Shapiro is a consummate professional whose PR skills are impeccable. I would heartily recommend
her as someone who is indefatigable and highly effective in promoting books."

~ Linda Greenspan Regan, Executive Editor, Prometheus Books. East Coast. 

"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 on 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."
