Gaby was an absolute DREAM to work with on THE Z WORD and THIS IS MY BODY. If you're looking for a freelance publicist I can't imagine a better option!

gaby iori @gabyiori.bsky.social · 1d

...anyway! I am looking for work (and have been for months actually!!) and also soft-launching that I'm doing freelance marketing and publicity. if you have a book coming out that you think would benefit from a thoughtful publicist/marketer, I'd love to help you get it into the world!

and to my former authors, please please don't hesitate to reach out--I don't know much, but I'll share what I do and I'm always here to listen, commiserate, and offer any advice/assistance that I'm able to

Quirk authors, if you’re finding out about this news on social media and are feeling distressed about where this leaves you, I wouldn’t hesitate to email Dave since it sounds like he‘s the only person he saved in the sale of the company.
