People you should know, free stuff you should have

At gal-friday publicity we are proud to connect with book marketers, publicists, literary agents, publishers, business owners and coaches to collaborate and share our knowledge. We listen to free webinars and attend conferences to make sure we keep up with the very latest in changing technology and publicity opportunities.

On this page we have placed some very cool downloads to help give you some direction for your business or book goals. The people who authored some of these files are awesome, and we are happy to promote their work- because it helps us do ours, so please do visit their sites!
In exchange for our cool resources, please consider hiring our company for your publicity needs. You may be able to do all of this on your own, but it’s our specialty and we would love to help you!
And check back here often for updates and our own upcoming PDF downloads!

Enjoy!!
