Allison McFadden, Creative Business Manager, Moroch Partners, LP
worked with nettie at Hartsock Communications
“Nettie’s presentation at the Northern California Book Marketing & Publicity Association in February was chock-full of practical, valuable information for anyone trying to navigate the world of online publicity. Nettie is knowledgable, friendly and inviting, she welcomed questions throughout her presentation which quickly turned the “presentation” into a friendly, interactive, no-question-is-too-basic group conversation. I have been an NCBMPA member for 2+ years and this was by far one of, if not the best presentation ever. This is why we happily pay our dues! I left with pages of notes, as did the half-dozen people at my table, and my colleague turned the info into a document we shared with the rest of our publicity department. If what you’re after is a knowledgeable, friendly consultant to help navigate the world of online publicity, I enthusiastically recommend Nettie Hartsock.” March 10, 2008

Helena Romaine Brantley
hired nettie as a Consultant in 2008
“Nettie was the lecturer for the Northern California Book Publicity and Marketing Association. She was the best lecturer we have had so far, not, like so many others, merely trying to pimp a product but offering countless tips on web promotion. She was quick to offer the free or inexpensive way of getting the same results, which is truly helpful for those of us at small companies with pint-sized budgets. Down to earth and enthusiastic, I recommend her for your next Web 2.0 speaking engagement.” February 15, 2008

Always professional, persistent without being annoying, and invariably she knows the kinds of people I would like on my show. All that and she is a heckuva nice person. Not that I have an opinion.” October 14, 2007

Michael (Mike) Stelzner
hired nettie as a Writer/Editor in 2003, and hired nettie more than once
“Nettie is extremely knowledgeable and an expert in the field of PR. Her insight has led me to understand the importance of connections in the web world. I took a three hour seminar from her at the Writer’s League of Texas and was thoroughly impressed by the wealth of knowledge I walked away with. I literally had a written list of over 40 resources, tips, and necessary tasks to complete in order to build promotions for my publishing company and children’s chapter book series. I talked to Nettie just at the start of my publication and have already seen the benefits of her advice. It was perfect timing to say the least! Thank you for all of your help. I had no idea how many opportunities are available to an author/publisher by becoming alive on line.” October 13, 2008
