Summary Of Our Early Findings Relevant To The Goals

• In this first hour of research, we were able to find most of the information requested for 3 publishers, who focus on publicity for memoirs or novels.
• In some cases, we could not uncover the specific media channels they work with or have access to, so instead provided the general media channels they work with (e.g., social media, print). We were able to find the email addresses for all 3 publicists identified, but were not able to find the phone number for one publicist in this first hour of research.
• Additionally, one of the publicists recommended noted he worked with best-selling authors, and reviews of this publicist discussed the respect for this author among specific best-selling authors. However, despite reviewing numerous testimonials, and researching the specific works of authors noted on the website, we were unable to ascertain if any of the authors described were best-selling authors.
• Our recommended next steps reflect the available information, as discovered in this first hour of research and the format of the findings will be similar (but not necessarily identical) to that provided above.
