Looking forward to an interesting 2020 for many reasons, not the least of which is that I have a new client, Paris-based footwear designer Louis D’Arienzo @louisdarienzo , for whom I am representing his eponymous line of gender-free shoes. They are not only spare, chic and beautiful, but made from materials that have low or no impact on the environment. More soon. 😎 if you get curious, no, they are not yet on his website. Anticipate!

From the cover of “LGBTQ-Inclusive Hospice And Palliative Care” by Kimberly D. Acquaviva and published by LGBTQ scholarly publisher, Harrington Park Press. It is the first ever handbook for end-of-life care-givers, organizations and institutions caring for LGBTQ patients and their families. To say the least, this was a very personal project and well received by the media that matters. PR efforts not only inspired a great story that ran both on Kaiser Health News and the NBC website, but also a panel discussion at the Kaiser Health News headquarters in Washington, D.C. which I attended. Kimberly’s wife, Kathy Brandt, founder of the KB Group, a palliative care consulting firm in Washington were revered for their work in the field. Kathy was terminally ill at the time of the panel discussion and died about a month later. Harrington Park Press publisher Bill Cohen died suddenly in December of 2019. Through my own experience with palliative care during my mother’s death, I was able to get the book adopted into the training program of Hospice of Dayton, the nation’s first, largest and most influential hospice organization. If you are unfamiliar with the good work of Harrington Park Press, which is distributed by Columbia University press, please tap the bio link for more about the book and the publisher.

Project History: Gay In America by Scott Pasfield I’d read about this book on Facebook, when photographer Scott Pasfield was seeking a publisher and expressed my interest in doing press for it. We met in Union Square, after which I walked him to a meeting with a potential publisher, Welcome Books (distributed at the time by Random House), which picked up the book. Scott got me hired freelance to do the press, after which Welcome hired me as their in-house VP Publicity. (Welcome closed a few years later and was sold to Rizolli.) 📸📸📸📸📸 From the press release: "In this first-ever photographic survey of gay men in America, stereotypes are laid to rest and an intimate, honest picture of contemporary gay life is revealed through stunning personal portraits and narratives. 📸📸📸📸📸 Photographer Scott Pasfield traveled 54,000 miles across all fifty states over a two-year span gathering stories and documenting the lives of 140 gay men from all walks of life. At turns joyful and somber, reflective and celebratory, each narrative and image is an enlightening look into the variety of gay life in the United States.” 📸📸📸📸📸 On the cover is Dan Choi, an American former infantry officer in the United States Army who served in combat in the Iraq War during 2006–2007 an LGBT rights activist who publicly challenged America's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy, which forbade lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) service members from serving openly.
