What clients are saying...
“I am so happy I followed my heart and joined Smith Publicity for the release of Boundless Creativity: A Spiritual Workbook for Overcoming Self-Doubt, Emotional Traps, and Other Creative Blocks. Michela and Lindsey opened so many doors for me, many of
which I had no idea existed. The depth and breadth of their outreach was truly astounding. I am beyond grateful for all they did for me and my workbook, and I recommend them without hesitation.”
