Here's what some of our clients have to say about us...

---

"Stephen Crane is the best damned publicist west of the Pecos."

Kinky Friedman, author of Roadkill, The Lovesong of J. Edgar Hoover, God Bless John Wayne, Armadillos & Old Lace, Elvis, Jesus & Coca Cola (Simon & Schuster)

"Stephen Crane is an author's dream come true--a publicist who is caring, knowledgeable, efficient, good-humored, relentless, and indefatigable. Unless you're J.D. Salinger or Thomas Pynchon, and don't enjoy talking about your book with interviews day and night for weeks and weeks, sign him up!"

Joseph McBride, author of Steven Spielberg: A Biography (Simon & Schuster)

"When it comes to tightly packed days of non-stop interviews, dozens of things can go wrong. But we knew that Stephen was on top of everything, and knowing that helped calm us enormously in a situation tailor-made for stress."

Katie Hafner, author of Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins of the Internet (Simon & Schuster) and Technology Correspondent, Newsweek Magazine

"Working with you was a pleasure--coordinating everyone's schedule, pitching new ideas, follow-up on all the contacts made--your endless creativity and attention to detail made it all possible. I have stacks of clippings that you generated, from local papers to national magazines, even upscale food magazines. My favorite show was pairing my cooking with Mrs. Fields. You really got my message out to my target audience."

Mani Niall, author of Sweet & Natural Baking (Chronicle Books)

"I know that Rama Dev Jager and Rafael Ortiz were very happy with the quality and quantity of interviews you secured in print, television, radio and cyberspace, and I can assure you that everyone here at McGraw-Hill was equally, if not more, impressed."

Evan S. Boorstyn, Associate Director of Publicity, McGraw-Hill (In The Company Of Giants: Candid Conversations With The Visionaries Of The Digital World, McGraw-Hill)

"I work with many business partners, vendors and customers on a day-to-day basis. I can certainly say that my interaction with you was always productive and stimulating--a gratifying exception."

Rafael Ortiz, author of In the Company Of Giants: Candid Conversations With The Visionaries Of The Digital World (McGraw-Hill)

"Stephen Crane is efficient, aggressive and imaginative. He knew who to talk to in the media and how to persuade them to get me on their show or in their newspaper. I would be very happy to work with him again."

Miles Corwin, author of The Killing Season: A Season Inside An LAPD Homicide Division (Simon & Schuster)

"I highly recommend Stephen for any authors who are serious about getting their books noticed. He was terrific at his own work and he made me feel that he respected mine as well."

Nina Revoyr, author of The Necessary Hunger (Simon & Schuster)

"Stephen Crane is fabulous--he did a superb job!!!"

Jewell Parker Rhodes, author of Voodoo Dreams (St. Martins Press, 1993) and Magic City (HarperCollins)

"In all of our dealings with Stephen, Dr. Kanter and I were consistently impressed by the high level of excellence he delivered in his work. Not only was Stephen very effective--getting Dr. Kanter plum publicity bookings for print and electronic media--he was fast, focused, flexible and absolutely a sheer delight to work with. In addition, he proved himself detail oriented and responsive to our every need."

Wendy D'Ambrose, vice president Goodmeasure, Inc.

"Stephen is a true professional and is world class in his work."

Dr. Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School, author of World Class (Simon & Schuster)

"Through his contacts, personality, and just plain hard work, I had more media access for this book than I had for any of my earlier books. I recommend him highly."

Fred Alan Wolf, author of The Spiritual Universe (Simon & Schuster)

        -National Book Award Winning Author

"Stephen is thorough, efficient, and has the rare ability to continue booking interviews until the job is done and done well. He is sensitive to the book's subject and occasionally difficult demands of each author. His publicity schedules were punctual, well-organized and accomplished their ultimate goals--to sell the book and enhance the image of the author."

Julie King, Senior Publicist, Simon & Schuster

"You have been exceptionally professional, considerate and easy to work with. I recommend you highly."

Dr. Carol Kinsey Goman, author of This Isn't The Company I Joined (Van Nostrand Reinhold)
