“Literary fiction is a hard sell, and setting your novel in a place that’s not in the news—Guatemala—doesn’t make it any easier. Sarah came to the project with passion, professionalism, and a warmth that made it a pleasure. She got me mainstream reviews, blog coverage, readings and events from coast to coast, and exposure in places I never would have dreamed of, including a New York Times article. Moreover, she believed in my book, and her unflagging support as well as her attention to detail made working with her a joy. I can’t wait to work with her on my next book.”

“Working with Sarah Burningham was a dream. I was so pleased with the results of her press strategy for my book and enjoyed getting to work with her in person even more. Working with Sarah is like having a good friend who also happens to be your biggest cheerleader and defender. I was so impressed with her ability to juggle so many different requests at once and to make sure they all went smoothly and according to plan. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with public relations or press strategy.”

“Sarah Burningham is a breath of fresh air in the world of publicity. She actually does what she says she is going to do…and more! We worked with Sarah during the launch of our book, Patina Style, and we couldn't be more thrilled with her services. Through her connections, she was able to get us featured in numerous local and national publications in print and online, including Good Housekeeping, Redbook, Lonny, the Los Angeles Times, and the Washington Post. Sarah also expertly handled all of the details for our book events around the country. We never worried about anything when Sarah was in charge. The best part? Sarah is down to earth, funny, and a pleasure to work with. Our search for the perfect publicist is over! We'll never use anyone else.”

“Little Bird Publicity worked diligently and professionally to help promote the launch of the last books in my Secret Agent Jack Stalwart children's book series. Not only did they secure appearances for the series at Children's Book Festivals but also at bookstores, bookseller trade shows, and on popular writer's blogs. I was very impressed with the amount of work they did in such a short amount of time and would recommend them to anyone seeking publicists that get the job done right.”

“Sarah Burningham is creative, consistent and, best of all, effective! She put together a massive yet completely manageable blog tour, booked interviews with international venues and got me featured in major publications, including USA Today. I was delighted with the innovative ways she presented my books and followed up with reviewers and journalists to ensure the book was featured. More than anything, she was able to see into the heart of my novels and promote them accordingly, making them stand out in a crowded marketplace. Sarah is consistent, upbeat, dynamic and an absolute blast to work with, but best of all are her results. Each time we've worked together, my books have landed on the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists.”

“I worked with Sarah on my debut novel Where I Belong. Even for an author, it's hard to properly articulate how Sarah helped me navigate the launch of my novel (and hopefully career). As for empirical evidence, she booked me at least a baker's dozen of appearances at libraries, festivals, writing organizations, schools, and bookstores. She also handled national press such as USA Today and other large online and print publications. However, what I admire most about Sarah is that she handles each PR opportunity, be it a small blog or major publication, with the same professionalism, passion, and attention to detail. She's incredibly attentive and supportive, and I hope to work with her on any future projects. I truly believe she's the main reason my book is being reprinted after only two months on the shelves. ”

“Working with Sarah was a complete joy. Her proactive initiative allowed me to focus while on a book tour because I knew she would take care of each and every detail. She envisions brilliant strategy then executes with tender care. From the vision to the implementation, Sarah has built her career on results. She put my book, My Maasai Life, on the international circuit. If you want your work to soar, I would recommend working with Sarah. She not only gets the job done, but ensures you have fun doing it!”

“There’s nothing typical about Sarah’s work. She has a talent for digging into a book and finding kernels within which set it apart and make it memorable - and then she explodes them into creative pitches, smart packaging, and lots of lively ideas, infused with both purpose and fun. She’s a clever and energetic matchmaker of subject and audience for her projects.”
