“Over a 50-year career in the entertainment business I’ve employed a number of Public Relations firms and have come in contact with firms working for others.I have never experienced one that equaled the combination of intelligence, imagination and work ethic, skills and joy for the process that I have relished in my work with Jill Siegel. The best!!“
—Leonard Nimoy

“Jill Siegel has been an indispensable asset to the Ali Team. I have found Ms. Siegel to be honest and straightforward in her approach to work and business. She has demonstrated a high degree of loyalty and trustworthiness and has performed her duties with vigor and resolve. It is without hesitation that I can heartily recommend Jill Siegel.”
—Muhammad Ali

“When I wrote my book, I never imagined that I would appear on national television (Today Show, Katie Couric, CNN), radio (Fresh Air, All Things Considered, WNYC), or print (The New York Times, Washington Post, People, USA Today, Elle, O, Marie Claire, the list goes on). The media attention was so extensive that people often commented: ‘You must have a killer publicist.’ I most certainly do. I can say that because of Jill Siegel’s incredible talent, out of the box thinking, and intense work ethic, my book received worldwide coverage. She is tireless, smart, well-connected, an all-around lovely person– and above all else, she really cares about her clients. You could not be in better hands.”

—Susannah Cahalan, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, BRAIN ON FIRE

“As we worked together on WORKING STIFF, I got to see first-hand that Jill is an absolute marvel—thoughtful, responsive, unbelievably well-connected and doggedly persistent.  I understand why producers and editors and assorted gate-keepers are so amenable to her well-crafted pitches; she’s a delight to work with, smart and strategic and an utter pro.”

—Jessica Papin, Dystel and Goderich Literary Management

“When our book WORKING STIFF hit the New York Times bestseller list in its release week, we realized just how valuable Jill Siegel had been as our publicist. Jill made sure we were reviewed in all manner of national, local, and Internet publications—working tirelessly at this task for months, both before and after the release. She booked us on national radio (including NPR’s All Things Considered and Science Friday) and television (including the Dr. Oz show) as well as in-person events. She helped plan our book tour, and arranged for local media appearances to coincide with events in the cities we visited. We know for a fact that we sold books as a result…Perhaps most crucially, Jill worked seamlessly with our publisher’s publicity team. Both our editor and our in-house publicist told us that Jill was the best publicity consultant they’d ever worked with on a book launch… We cannot recommend Jill Siegel highly enough, and we look forward to hiring her for our next project.”

—Judy Melinek, MD, and T.J. Mitchell, authors of the New York Times bestseller WORKING STIFF: Two Years, 262 Bodies, and the Making of a Medical Examiner

“I have had the pleasure of working with Jill Siegel on several high-profile, bestselling publicity campaigns for books by major authors including Mika Brzezinski and Kathy Freston. Jill’s focused, results-driven approach enabled us to secure major national media appearances for our authors, and her dedication and professionalism helped turn each of these books into a success. Bringing innovative ideas to every meeting, Jill was able to keep the entire media and book publicity team working efficiently and cohesively, while respecting the unique scheduling challenges and opportunities that come along with high-profile clients. Jill brings positivity, professionalism and creativity to every publicity campaign.”

 —Georgina Levitt, Director of Brand Development, Hachette Books

“You will not find a more outstanding publicist for your book than Jill. Through her tireless efforts, I appeared across TV and radio (MSNBC, CNN, NPR, etc.) as well as print (New York Times, Washington Post, etc.) More: You will not find a better person to work with. Jill is funny, engaging, insightful and determined. No matter what ups and downs you may experience, Jill will guide you through with wit, persistence and caring that I have never found elsewhere in this business.”

—Ken Ballen, Founder and President of Terror Free Tomorrow, author of TERRORISTS IN LOVE

“I’m happy to recommend Jill Siegel for any endeavor.  We’ve worked together on both sides of the microphone.  Ms. Siegel is a very imaginative and dedicated publicist.  As a host of All Things Considered, I’d always welcome her phone call.  And as a Delacorte author, I knew I was working with the best (I’ve been on three previous book tours—it’s a joy when it’s done right).”

—Noah Adams, National Public Radio, author of the New York Times bestseller PIANO LESSONS​

“REAL AGE was on the New York Times bestseller list for many weeks.  I wish that I could say that its popularity was due to great writing, but I know better.  IT WAS DUE TO GREAT PUBLICITY GARNERED BY JILL.  Jill contacted and promoted the book to key individuals, and when they wanted to do interviews at different times other that what Jill wanted, she cajoled and bargained to stage the publicity in the order she thought was best for the book.  So yes, she got the book on Oprah, and yes, it was on Good Morning America, and the Saturday Today Show, The Saturday CBS Morning Show, Hockenberry, the 700 Club, Extra, 47 other TV shows, and 50 other radio shows. Jill worked efficiently with others and me and brought out ‘the best in all with whom she worked’…The success that we have had is substantially due to the many people who helped with the book, but very, if not most importantly, to Jill — no ifs, ands or buts about it.“

—Michael F. Roizen, M.D., author of the #1 New York Times bestseller REAL AGE, and co-author of the #1 New York Times bestselling series YOU: The Owner’s Manual

“This should serve as a recommendation of the highest order for Jill Siegel, with whom I had the distinct pleasure and honor of working over the course of two years.  As Executive Editor of Delacorte Press, my focus was to publish nonfiction books at a house that traditionally published commercial fiction and thus had little experience companywide in the particular demands of marketing and publicizing nonfiction titles.  I shudder to think of how this might have turned out had it not been for the extraordinary skills and dedication that Jill applied ton her work.  She brought vision and creativity to each of the books she handled, custom-tailored to the book’s content and audience, and was a key faction in making two of these books (WHEN ELEPHANTS WEEP and PIANO LESSONS) national bestsellers.  The authors she worked with–who frequently traveled on complex national books tours that she’d overseen–always commented on both the alacrity and authority she demonstrated over all forms of media, and the sense of having a friend and ally looking out for their best interests.  In short, she was the best–most resourceful, creative and committed publicist I’ve worked with at any publishing company.”

—Steve Ross, Former Executive Editor, Delacorte Press

I am writing as an author with the singular good fortune to have had Jill Siegel as a publicist.  As the person at HarperCollins primarily responsible for introducing my book to the public, Ms. Siegel performed superbly in every respect.  As a long-time journalist, I fully appreciate how difficult it can be to get the attention of editors and producers.  Nonetheless, in every city that she handled (on my 12-city book tour), Ms. Siegel managed to generate major television and radio exposure, as well as newspaper profiles and articles.  I have authored five books published by major publishing companies over the past 8 years, and I have never seen a more competent professional in the publishing industry than Ms. Siegel. In fact, journalists in several of the cities I visited remarked on her diligence and professionalism.  A writer for the Los Angeles Times told me, ‘You are lucky to have her as a publicist.’  I found myself readily agreeing.  Not only did Ms. Siegel follow up all leads provided her, she generated countless leads and ideas on her own. She was also, in her dealings with me and others, unfailingly upbeat, tactful and gracious.  In short,I think Ms. Siegel is a very talented, highly motivated dynamo.  I am sure that, as you get to know here, you will agree.”
