About Me

For over 15 years, I’ve helped nonfiction authors bring bold ideas into the public discourse —crafting campaigns that spark dialogue, shift perspectives, and make complex work accessible to broad audiences. From historians and legal scholars to scientists, journalists, and public thinkers, I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the most compelling voices of our time.

I’ve led national publicity campaigns for authors including Alexander Vindman, Kevin Kruse, Julian Zelizer, Stephen Vladeck, Tom Holland, Eugenia Cheng, Katja Hoyer, Nicole Hemmer, Yuval Levin, and Martha Jones. As Executive Director of Publicity at Basic Books, and previously at Penguin Random House (Crown) and HarperCollins, I’ve worked across every stage of the publishing process—from early messaging strategy to high-profile media launches.

I began my career in the arts, earning a degree in musical theater from NYU and spending several years as a working actor. But I eventually found my calling in nonfiction publishing, where I could channel my love of storytelling into elevating the voices of thinkers, change-makers, and first-time authors with something urgent to say.

Now, with Liz Wetzel PR, I am dedicated to serving nonfiction writers. My work is grounded in transparency, creativity, and a deep respect for the author’s vision. I believe important ideas deserve great support, and I take pride in offering high-impact publicity with a personal touch.

I live in Saratoga Springs, NY with my husband and our three young children—Auggie, Lillie, and Leo. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me reading, catching a show, lifting something heavy in the gym, or finishing the New York Times Games (yes, all of them if I can).
