Custom Service

This is a special package where all outreach work services are handled personally by the executive director, who has a professional and academic background in journalism and has worked for years as a publicist with an independent publishing firm in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Services here can go beyond the scope of our normal packages and include items that you need and request. We will work with you and lend our professional expertise to devise a custom plan for your unique project.

For this level of service we will also work with whatever time frames you have for the project, setting out and completing certain deliverables and action steps within 30, 60 or 90 days.
