Kimberly Burns did a sensational job for me and The Enchantress of Florence, she's in the process of doing a fabulous job for PEN American Center, and, in my view, she is the best there is.

Kimberly Burns is a unique force in publishing. She's funny, smart, efficient, and above all devoted to the writers she cares about and to their books. At a time when publishing a book can seem like dropping a pebble down a well, Kimberly makes sure that the author always hears an echoing splash. She can make a book tour into a pleasure, a bookstore reading feel like a real event, and an early morning radio call feel like a summons from Zeus. Anyone who has her as the trailblazer on his book is lucky beyond what words -- even mine -- can describe.
-- Adam Gopnik


Kimberly Burns is a rarity among book publicists--she's driven to usher the books she works on into the world--she works tirelessly--and is beyond smart. She thinks about both the book and the author and comes up with events and interviews that capture the context and intentions that are best suited to the material. She should teach a course in How to Be the World's Best Publicist--and EVERYONE should be required to take it.

Kimberly Burns is an ace publicist, obviously. But what I liked most about her was we had so much fun. In the time we spent together I never felt like I was with my publicist. You know, there was none of that gushing, telling me how wonderful my books were type stuff. Nope, she never said a single complimentary thing about me or my books, either to me or anyone else. In fact, now that I think about it…

Kimberly Burns loves a good book. She is prepared to put her considerable energy, her fierce intelligence, her good humor and her truly astonishing rolodex to use in the service of the good book, and the lucky author who finds her.
--Amy Bloom


Kimberly Burns is one of the most capable people I've ever encountered. If only she could run my life as effectively as she's promoted my books. She loves and understands writers. Working with her is not only a huge advantage, it's downright fun.
