Dynamic Media Release Services ~ Testimonial

I am pleased to share with you a testimonial from another satisfied client of Dynamimc Media Release Services:

September 3, 2010

"When my latest book came out, I was excited. I also knew it needed publicity; otherwise, it would fade away into that black hole with other books that no one ever heard of, forgotten, as though it never existed. I needed a Media Release to spread the word. But with all my other obligations when would I find the time to write one? What would I say if I did have a few hours to compose a release? I hadn’t a clue.

Reading my friend Donna McDine’s blog one day solved my problem. She has posted many releases she’s written for authors. Very creative releases. So I contacted Donna, sent her the information on my book and less than two weeks later the Media Release was in my mail.

She took the title of the book, Caves, Cannons, and Crinolines, and showed how each item worked with the other to tell the story. What a unique way to draw attention. So if you’re pulling your hair out over writing a Media Release, I recommend Donna. She’ll write one for you that you‘ll want to post all over the Internet."

Another Satisfied Client of Dynamic Media Release Services

I am pleased to share with my readers the latest testimonial for another satisfied client:

"If you're too busy to write and distribute a press release about your book, or simply aren't sure how to go about it, I can whole-heartedly recommend Donna McDine's publicity services. She writes excellent press releases. Best of all, she's fast!

Two days after Donna posted the press release my book went higher in ranks on Amazon from the 200,000s to the 14,000s!"
