panel on PR for authors. Marika Flatt launched PR by the Book, LLC

producing for her college TV station, and working with NBC-TV in
Dallas, Marika spent seven years leading the publicity team of an
Austin-based book publicity firm. While there, she was the Director
of Publisher Services, handling the company’s key publicity
campaigns and serving as the company’s spokesperson. Marika
