Born Slippy by Tom Lutz
This book publicity case study outlines the work Coriolis Company performed for Professor Tom Lutz’s new novel, Born Slippy, published by Repeater Books/ Penguin Random House on January 14, 2020. We worked in sync with Professor Lutz’s in-house publicist Jonathan Maunder and Professor Lutz himself to secure maximum coverage for the novel.
”Nanda Dyssou and Coriolis went above and beyond. A wonderful experience.
