Jill Maxick has nearly thirty years of experience in book publishing, having led the publicity and marketing departments of Prometheus Books as well as taking on freelance clients prior to joining PR by the Book in 2023.
She has managed book campaigns in a diverse array of nonfiction categories, including science, history, true crime, health, and current events, and for genre fiction titles in mystery, thriller, science fiction, and fantasy.
