ENDORSEMENTS

“Dee Dee DeBartlo is simply the best in the business. We’ve worked together for ten years and I’ve been ever more impressed with her diligence, her persistence and her professionalism. She has helped move three of my books onto the Best Sellers list as she carefully chooses appearances that will be worth my time. In the swirl of a frantic national book tour, she never drops the ball—plane tickets, cars, hotels, phone numbers, all are painstakingly provided and always accurate. And Dee Dee is a delight to work with. It’s because she’s so much fun, while being a thorough-going professional, that she has so many contacts in the media and event world. Those contacts are worth gold when promoting a book.”

— Cokie Roberts

author and news analyst

“It’s true that Dee Dee is creative, connected, and hard-working, but she also possesses something unique, something I can’t quite put my finger on, that makes her so successful at what she does.”

— Stephen Dubner

author of Freakonomics

“Dee Dee’s passion, creativity and savvy have helped put many of our books on the Best Sellers list. She has deep relationships across the media and publishing worlds and those who’ve worked with her respect her judgment and ideas. She knows how to bring out the best in every one of her projects whether it’s fiction or non-fiction. She’s collaborative and engaged and that’s why people love working with her.”

— Michael Morrison

President of HarperCollins
