Review of Newman Communications

I agree with the "horrible" reviews with the caveat that Elise Bogdan, who handles radio spots for Bob Newman does reasonably good work, though a few of the spots she got me were pathetic (a podcaster who had 4 views!)--others were reasonable and had good reach However, Newman promised a major media campaign including print reviews, TV, and radio targeted in New York, Washington DC and Chicago--all things that were do-able for my book given that I had a piece in the Atlantic and in other local and national media and arranged 9 book talks myself with zero support from him. I fired him after I realized he was not delivering anything to help me with my own self-arranged book talks, despite multiple promises, and he had misrepresented contacts he had made on my behalf. As a first time author, I was the victim of a slick sales pitch from someone who does know the industry but doesn't do the work he promises.
