Testimonials
“From the craziness of the initial launch to the longer market-by-market haul, the professionals at Shreve Williams are just that: consummate pros. They know how the media works; they understand its needs and skillfully navigate its demands; they are sharp, resourceful, energetic, and, best of all, totally devoted to the authors and books that they promote. Working with them was a perfect pleasure.”
John Heilemann
bestselling co-author of Game Change and Double Down
“I cannot imagine a better experience with book publicity—a notoriously dicey area of enterprise—than mine with Elizabeth and Suzanne. These are two terrific people who do a terrific job, nothing dicey, nothing troublesome, and they work very, very hard and effectively.”
Carl Bernstein
bestselling author of A Woman in Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton
“We’ve brought the Shreve Williams team on to work on some of our highest profile projects. I can always count on them to expertly navigate the tricky media landscape and deliver top notch schedules. They are deeply talented, collaborative, reliable, and a joy to work with.”

“Elizabeth’s experience in publishing, her knowledge of media contacts (both print and non-print), as well as her professionalism and enthusiasm, made working with her a great pleasure.”
Nancy Pearl
author of Book Lust, More Book Lust, Book Crush, and Book Lust to Go
“As a longtime publisher and publicity director, I know when a publicity campaign is well run. Shreve Williams runs a great campaign. They are reliable, responsive, and exceptionally well organized. Working with them is not only a pleasure, but completely free from worries.”
Janice Goldklang
Editorial Director, Other Press
“Suzanne brings great literary taste, graciousness, and sensitivity together with toughness and shrewdness in a rare combination. She became a passionate advocate for my book, and her ardent support of it was both gratifying and effective. She is also an absolutely lovely person and was a true pleasure to work with—utterly dedicated, responsive, patient but pushy when she needed to be, and fun to strategize with.”
Priscilla Gilman
author of The Anti-Romantic Child: A Story of Unexpected Joy
“In her former life, Elizabeth was Henry Holt’s director of publicity, and in my capacity as publisher I worked with her closely and very happily for seven years. She was unfailingly professional, wonderfully focused and well organized, and very creative about how to publicize and market our books. She also happens to be a delightful person, so any collaboration with Elizabeth is bound to be both fun and superbly productive.”
John Sterling
former President and Publisher, Henry Holt & Company
“Working with Suzanne has always been a joy: She gets you all the media you could plausibly get and makes sure the right people know about your book in good time. Her schedules are perfect and her organizational skills impeccable. An author couldn’t ask for more during those arduous times on the road.”
