ENDORSEMENTS
"I can't recommend Kim-from-LA highly enough. Quite simply, I adore her.
She is enthusiastic, hard-working, innovative, and willing to pull out
all the stops to help her clients grow. Most importantly, when I hand my
publicity needs over to her, I don't have to think about them again. I
can just do what I do best--write books--and let her handle the media,
reviews, interviews, and tour events. I feel incredibly grateful that
she is part of my fabulous publishing team.”
“Kim Dower’s pre-media coaching is indispensable. She
effectively refines my message and polishes my technique in a way that
bolsters my confidence for the scores of print, radio, and television
interviews I do when I’m on tour. I’d hire Kim even if I weren’t going
on tour.”
"Let me put it simply: Kim from LA is a master. Incredibly
resourceful, amazingly well-connected, and most important, one of the
most caring and hardest-working people in the entire book industry.
Sure, every publicist knows the best shows and stores. Kim knows the
people behind them. Make no mistake, that's the difference. She never,
ever, ever gives up -- and that's why she gets books on the bestseller
list."
"Kim Dower is the hardest working freelance publicist I know. I can't
think of anyone better to hire for help on a campaign.”
"Kim is not only brilliant at nailing why your book is unique, she
executes a winning plan using panache, brainpower and unflagging
enthusiasm. I wouldn’t dare embark on a publicity campaign without Kim
in the lead."
"Kim-from-L.A. has made a remarkable difference in our authors' ability
to promote their books."
Kim-from-L.A. is the very best representative you could
have for your book. Her ideas are brilliant and creative; her follow
through magnificent: we can’t imagine launching a book without Kim-from-L.A.
She was always on our side, believing in us and in our work, getting us
the best interviews, the best media coverage, the best book events.
Everyone takes her calls, even Queen Elizabeth or, more importantly,
Costco. She is trusted, respected, honest, straightforward, funny and
wise. And her media training is superb. She and her partner turned two
slouchy, unfocused neophytes into Barbara Walters and Diane Sawyer.
"Kim-from-L.A. is superb as both a media trainer and
a publicist. She
“Kim-from-L.A. goes way beyond polish or spin. Kim’s coaching will help
you get straight to the essence of what you want to say and show you how
to say it best. She’s a powerful ally, whether you’re a first-time
novelist or a veteran bestseller. You can apply the principles she
teaches in hundreds of ways, every day. Very highly recommended.”
"No one in this business is more hardworking, imaginative,
straightforward, industrious and fun to work with. I (and my family)
have been with Kim for years. We wouldn't have anybody else!"
"I met Kim not long after I started my radio show "Writers on Writing"
when Kim contacted me about booking her authors. She had the right mix
of persistence and charm, without being pushy, and we hit it off. Later,
when my book, PEN ON FIRE, was published, she booked me on a TV book
show, and offered solid advice on promoting my book. Everyone I know who
has worked with Kim loves her."
"For those of you that think we don’t have hurricanes in L.A.—think
again! For this first time author, publicist Kim-from-L.A’s gale force
winds of communication, blew from Hollywood to Times Square. Her energy,
insight and media-savvy contributed greatly to paving the road to my
book’s success!"
"Given the emotional nature of my book, I needed a media
adviser who would spend time understanding the issues and formulating a
sensitive but powerful strategy. Kim-from-L.A. went above and beyond
with her personal touch to translate my voice to a broad audience with a
vision that I was comfortable with and one which was both truthful and
respectful of the book".
"After spending more than a decade interviewing people, I was skeptical
about media training. But Kim turned my head around. She pushed me,
challenged me, and forced me to figure out who I was, what I was about, and
how I came across. In one day, she quite literally changed my life and
saved me from embarrassing myself in the unforgiving reflection of the
television camera lens."
“Kim Dower is the best friend your book can have. She understands
publishing, the market, the book stores, and writers. She guides with
dignity and integrity. She did what she promised. I avoid endorsements,
but this one I make without hesitation.”
"I met Kim Dower four years ago when I was co-hosting a daily talk show
on CBS-2 called Women2Women, and she bugged me just about every single
day to get one of her authors on my show. When I needed to hire a
publicist for my own books, the choice was easy -- I have never seen
anyone work so hard for his or her clients!"
"Kim Dower gave me my Los Angeles launch, getting me publicity,
interviews, bookings and buzz I could never have achieved on my own. Not
only was she unflaggingly enthusiastic, dynamic and well-connected, but
she sat down with me before important interviews to hone my message in
ways to set me apart from the pack."
“Kim-from-L.A. Literary & Media Services does the job. Kim
helped me to focus and develop my ideas, and gave me the confidence and
technical advice I needed to be my best. I recommend her to anyone who
needs to address the media.” "Kim has done nothing less than elevate my career
to an entirely new level. Her wisdom, passion and insight has been a key
ingredient in helping me to achieve my dreams." "I had a lot at stake when my book was published. I
wanted the book to succeed. That the book was a great success is in no
small measure a product of the extraordinary guidance I received from
Kim. Kim is – to put it bluntly – a genius. She knows good material,
knows how to focus it for the markets, and is relentless in helping her
clients.”
“Kim can see the heart of an author’s story and knows how to bring it
out in an interview. She understands the kind of rapport that’s involved
in making an interview truly shine. Her professionalism and intelligence
are always reassuring in this high pressure business.”
"Kim-From-L.A. works magic with our authors."
“Kim’s coaching, insight, and encouragement made all the difference. I
feel confident, and get a ton of positive feedback all thanks to her!”
“I cannot thank Kim enough for her help and guidance in preparing me for
my future interviews and for creating a video clip that communicates my
message in a much more appealing manner than I could have ever come up
with on my
"I was more nervous about media training and going on television than
about anything else I've ever done. Kim-from-L.A. took me from
scattered, to focused and confident, all in one day -- amazing! I feel
like I could go on the air tomorrow with confidence and grace."
“Their media training is fantastic, fabulous, fun, invaluable! I wish
I’d done it a lot sooner. I dread thinking of how my interview on the
TODAY show would have gone had I not worked with Kim. It’s so
helpful to not only see yourself on tape but have someone point out what
you’re doing right and/or wrong. ALSO, GETTING SOUND BITES WAS SO
HELPFUL!”
“Kim is so gifted at what she does! Kim helped me share my book widely
with a range of different audiences—to get its promotion on track. Kim
taught me how to focus my message during interviews to really connect
with people from the heart. I can’t recommend her enough!"
