Victor Gulotta started his book publishing career in 1977, working as an editor and promotion specialist.  He went on to head publicity departments at trade and scholarly  publishing houses, working with such authors as Isaac Asimov, Joseph Fletcher, Jonathan Kozol, Elmer Gertz, Thomas Szasz, James Randi, and Martin Gardner. In 1987, he was the publicist for the American edition of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's first collection of speeches.

In 1993, Gulotta ventured out on his own as a literary publicist and founded Gulotta Communications, Inc., which represents publishers and authors.  One of his first clients was Microsoft Word creator Richard Brodie. Since then, he has represented such authors as Baxter Black, Nicholas Basbanes, Nancy Kricorian, and Mexican artist Leonardo Nierman.  Most recently, he has represented Henry David Abraham, Nobel Peace Prize laureate; Abbot Christopher Jamison, host of the BBC documentary series “The Monastery”; Michael Badnarik, Libertarian Party Presidential candidate; and Donald Jackson, calligrapher and senior scribe to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth.

Gulotta has successfully promoted hundreds of seasoned and first-time authors.  He has worked with clients from the U.S., Australia, Canada, Great Britain, India, Mexico, and South Africa.  In his thirty years of publicizing books, he has handled a broad range of subject areas, including: psychology, self-help, science, health, human sexuality, current events, music, parenting, relationships, women's issues, business, fiction, biography, art, entertainment, environment, education, history, and philosophy.

Among the publishers he has represented are: Crown, Ballantine, Holt, Simon & Schuster, Oxford University Press, Atlantic Monthly Press, Mosby, HarperCollins, St. Martin’s, Andrews McMeel, Temple University Press, William Morrow, Wiley, Billboard Books, Teachers College Press, M. E. Sharpe, University of Alabama Press, BBC Books, Ten Speed Press, Avon, Joseph Henry Press/National Academy of Sciences, Prima, Adams, Prometheus, Continuum, Putnam, Career Press, AMACOM, Dearborn Financial, Broadway Books, Penguin, McGraw-Hill, Liturgical Press, Citadel Press, and Little, Brown.

Gulotta is the coeditor of Banned: Classical Erotica (Adams Publishing), a book about literary censorship, and occasionally contributes articles to newspapers and national book trade magazines.  He has been quoted, or written about, in such major media as Associated Press, Reuters, MSNBC, United Press International, National Public Radio, C-SPAN, Fox News, USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, the Boston Globe, the Washington Times, the Chicago Tribune, the San Francisco Chronicle, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, and Harvard Magazine.  Twice he was profiled in Home Office Computing. He is cited in "Publicize or Perish" in Writer's Digest's Guide to Literary Agents.

When he is not publicizing books by living authors, Gulotta is collecting first editions and original letters penned by nineteenth-century authors, especially those of Charles Dickens. His focus for fourteen years was the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.  In 2001, Gulotta sold his collection of rare books, manuscripts, letters, photographs, and ephemera to Houghton Library at Harvard University. It was the largest known private collection of Longfellow material to have been sold in more than fifty years.  An account of Harvard’s acquisition and a profile of Gulotta appear in Among the Gently Mad (2002) by Nicholas A. Basbanes. The extensive archives of the Gulotta Collection served as source material for a recent biography, Longfellow: A Rediscovered Life (2004), by Charles C. Calhoun; and comprised a significant part of Harvard’s exhibit, “Public Poet, Private Man: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow at 200" (2007).

An archive of correspondence between Isaac Asimov and Victor Gulotta, which incorporates two original book manuscripts, is included in the Isaac Asimov Collection of Cushing Memorial Library at Texas A&M University.

A strong believer of mens sana in corpore sano, Gulotta complements his literary activities with a regimen of running, bicycling, weight-lifting, kayaking, and cross-country skiing.  Gulotta’s biography appears in Who's Who in America. He is a native of Brooklyn, New York, and a graduate of the State University of New York at Buffalo.   He lives with his wife and daughter in Newton, Massachusetts.
