“Competing for publicity in the face
of a war in Iraq and a presidential
campaign, Victor Gulotta was
impressive as a publicist. He is
conscientious, hardworking, and
effective. He maximized the exposure
of my book to regional and national
television and radio audiences in a
way I could never have done alone.
C-SPAN, WGN-AM’s ‘Milt Rosenberg,’
‘Fox Morning News,’ and
Newsday were just some of the
bookings realized from his efforts.”

"I
highly recommend Victor Gulotta. In this
business, having your own publicist is a
must. Victor was able to get me on several
national radio and TV shows, and in three
large-circulation magazines, including
Better Investing. He also landed a full
review in USA Today, a syndicated
Sunday magazine piece for Tribune
Newspapers, a People Magazine review,
a New York Times article, and a
review in Booklist. I also did WBZ
radio, the Boston mega-station, and a host
of Florida and east-coast stations to begin
the campaign. There is definitely a media
ladder, and thousands are trying to get on
it. Increase your odds by having Victor as
your publicist."

“Connecting
with Victor Gulotta for the promotion of two
of my most recent books has to rank as one
of the most pleasant and rewarding
publishing experiences that have come my way
in recent memory. His knowledge of the
process is vast, his contacts admirable, and
his ability to arrange coverage in a
striking variety of outlets—radio,
television, industry web sites, to cite just
a few—is nothing short of miraculous. Given
the nature of what I write about—book
culture in all its glory—I know something
about this world, and I have to say Victor
is a real pro, one of the best I've seen.
Highly recommended."

“Thank
you so much for all your help. We had never
hired a publicist before and were not sure
what to expect, but after working with you
for just a short while, we realized we made
the right decision. Our book One
Shot-One Kill Trading deals with
educating online traders, and even though it
is laden with trader terminology, we were
able to talk about it in layman’s terms on
the air to listeners nationwide, and it was
well-received by both the hosts of the shows
and the audiences. Because of your efforts
and personal attention to detail, our
company has gained a larger following, and
that is what we are in business for.”

"I
would recommend Gulotta Communications to
any author who wants to be in the media
spotlight. National tours for my books
Getting Past OK and Virus of the Mind
included appearances on more than two dozen
television shows and nearly a hundred radio
shows. Many of these shows, both national
and local, were top-rated in their markets."

"Victor Gulotta and I go back many years. He
was my publicist first with Bob Adams, Inc.,
then with William Morrow Publishing. Victor
has been responsible for booking me on many
shows including ‘Good Morning America,’ ‘CBS
This Morning,’ and ‘Oprah.’ Most recently,
he worked on getting press for my latest
book, Think Thin, Be Thin. Victor is
good-natured, diligent, easy to work with,
and well-respected in the media. When I need
a publicist, I call Victor."

“Victor Gulotta may well be the FDR of
publicists. He amplified the potential
audience for my book, The Hidden Campaign,
FDR’s health, and the 1944 election many
times over. Pleasant, effective, and highly
selective, he was a catalyst in promoting a
book with a general audience. He created
numerous opportunities for me and I can
strongly recommend Gulotta Communications to
you.”

“I was quite flattered to have someone of
Victor’s stature interested in representing
my second novel, Fiend Angelical.
After all, I was still an 'unknown'—which
was precisely why I needed his experience
and expertise to help me get that
all-important air-time. Knowing Victor was
on the job, doing what he does best, gave me
confidence and freed up valuable time to do
what I do best—writing my next book—and he
was able to land me interviews I know I
would never have managed to secure on my
own. I highly recommend Gulotta
Communications.”

"An author doesn't expect to run into
someone as kind, intelligent, and intensely
knowledgeable as Victor Gulotta these
days. The solitary nature of the experience
of writing is immediately counterbalanced by
feelings of support and wise company when
Victor is on your side as a publicist. That
it is a jungle out there is a 'given.' The
surprise is that there is someone who knows
every inch of the path, knows what berries
to eat and which to avoid, and where the
poisonous snakes hide waiting. Victor is
the best guide an author could want. His
personal integrity marks him as a rare find
in any field. There may be many corners to
cut as an author attempts to conserve
precious personal resources; Victor
Gulotta's services should be on an author's
priority list directly under paper and ink."

"It's clear that Victor has great insight
into how to promote and sell books. His
instinct for how to pitch an idea is what
impresses me most. When my book got
extensive coverage in several popular
magazines, Victor was largely responsible
and continues to be today. In fact, I'm
STILL getting leads from him that are
helping me sell my book!"

"I
was so grateful to Victor for taking on a
book from an academic press. He got my voice
on over 200 radio stations, including two
appearances on National Public Radio. These
really increased sales. His work was always
efficient and professional. He helped
immensely in my interactions with my
publisher, too. I know I would have never
gotten as many review copies in as many good
hands without him."

"As a first-time self-published
author of a book about personal
finance, stock market investing and
retiring wealthy, I needed all the
help I could get. I searched all of
the available publications for a
publicist that would match my
requirements. I sure picked a winner
in Victor Gulotta. He pulled-off a
'small miracle' when he got me onto
the CNBC-TV morning show. That's
nirvana for reaching an audience of
stock market investors around the
globe. That 5-minute interview on TV
launched my book into a bestseller
by the next morning. Amazon.com
rated my book as a 'mover and
shaker,' and the following morning
rated it as a '5.' Victor will be my
number one choice for my second
book."

"Because of the immense focus on
Afghanistan due to the bombing of
the New York Trade Towers on 9/11,
we needed help getting a new book
ready for promotion. The media was
looking for experts on all matters
regarding Afghanistan. We were hot!
Victor jumped right in to help us
get Afghanistan: The End of
Illusion promoted in record
time. Victor had the marketing savvy
and a real appreciation for the
emerging story to get it going and
keep us on track. He has gotten us
interviews with CNN, MSNBC (three
times!), USA Today, and
plenty of national and local radio.
We have experienced the power of
promotion at its best."

"Mr. Gulotta arranged radio talk show
appearances for me that were heard across
the United States. One talk show was heard
in half a dozen foreign countries. Among the
interviews was a regional television news
appearance that aired in six states. A
review of my book by the Associated Press
resulted in positive reviews being printed
in major newspapers, as well as small town
publications. Mr. Gulotta is a giant in his
field."

his efforts and consider him a dynamic
publicist."

"My book was propelled to bestseller status
when Victor took over the publicity. It
didn't take him long to launch a blow-out
national tour--one that resulted in
appearances on 'Oprah,' ' Sally Jessy

short period of time we had sold more than
100,000 copies. Obviously, I recommend
Victor highly."

have been very pleased with Victor's work. .

a front-page article in USA Today."
