Melissa Orlov, promoting ADHD Effect on Marriage with Print and TV Book Publicity Tour

ADHD Effect on Marriage

Author: Melissa Orlov
Publisher: Specialty Press

The ADHD Effect On Marriage

The ADHD Effect On Marriage

Melissa Orlov wanted to get her message across to not just people with ADHD but to all involved in a relationship.  Bringing her message to us for a Print and TV Book Publicity Tour,  Newman was able to bring Melissa’s expertise to such national exposure as The Today Show , The New York Times , The Boston Globe, CNN’s American Morning and many more.

Most couples who have ADHD affecting their marriages have no idea why they are so unhappy.  They just know that they have tried hard to make things better, and are intensely frustrated that nothing seems to work.  Because they are unaware that ADHD is playing a role, couples in these relationships often pick exactly the wrong approaches to solving their marital problems – approaches that would make sense for most couples, but not when one or both partners has ADHD.  But here’s the good news.  Once couples understand the patterns that ADHD introduces into a relationship they can turn their marriage around.

The ADHD Effect on Marriage, Understand and Rebuild Your Relationship in Six Steps isn’t about a “miracle cure,” but about providing the knowledge and tools couples need to reshape their relationship into the loving, supportive, exciting partnership they once envisioned.

Author Melissa Orlov takes a personal interest in her topic as both her husband and her daughter were diagnosed with ADHD.  After 20 +  years, her marriage is intact and her daughter is doing great!

Our Book Publicity Campaign continues with Melissa with an additional  article placed  on sheknows.com just in time for summer romance.

About the Author:

Melissa Orlov is one of the top experts in how ADHD affects relationships and has been writing publicly about the topic since 2007.  She writes the “Your Marriage” column for ADDitude Magazine, is the lead writer on the blog “Thoughts on ADHD and Marriage” at www.adhdmarriage.com, and is a contributing author of the book, Married to Distraction, with Dr. Ned Hallowell and Sue George Hallowell, LICSW. When not writing, Ms. Orlov consults with ADHD-affected couples from around the world, helping them rebalance their relationships and learn to thrive.

Newman Communications and Melissa Orlov continue their  partnership with a book publicity campaign that alerts both the media and general consumer on the importance of treatment for ADHD and help with relationships in general.

Book publicity helps promote a rare glimpse into Scientology

INSIDE SCIENTOLOGY: The Story of America’s Most Secretive Religion

Author: Janet Reitman
Publisher: Houghton-Mifflin

Inside Scientology

Inside Scientology - Janet Reitman

If all you know about Scientology is that Tom Cruise and John Travolta are practitioners of the religion, then Janet Reitman has written the book for you.

Newman Communications helped educate and inform radio listeners nationwide with a radio focused book publicity tour for Janet Reitman’s controversial book INSIDE SCIENTOLOGY: The Story of America’s Most Secretive Religion.  Janet completed a 30-city radio book tour, which included KFI-AM/Los Angeles, Talk Radio Network,  Sirius/XM Radio America’s Radio News Network and more. Janet also recently hosted a live online Q&A about Inside Scientology with the Washington Post, discussing the  extensive research she did preparing for the book.

About the book

Inside Scientology is the defining work on the faith by the Rolling Stone journalist.  It confirms the astonishing truth about life within the controversial religion.

The book is based on confidential documents, over one hundred interviews with current and former Scientologists, and five years of research. Reitman reveals all, starting with how the singular L. Ron Hubbard transformed a self-help group into a worldwide spiritual corporation. After Hubbard’s death in 1986, a young acolyte named David Miscavige assumed control; since then, he has overseen some of the church’s greatest triumphs — among them a controversial billion-dollar IRS tax exemption and Tom Cruise’s emergence as a vocal advocate — while also creating a climate of fear and intimidation, according to ex-members whose stories of abuse Reitman shares. Reitman is the first to examine Miscavige’s twenty-five-year reign and what it might mean for the future of the church.

About Janet Reitman

Janet Reitman was a finalist for a National Magazine Award in 2007 for the Rolling Stone story “Inside Scientology,” from which this book grew. She is a contributing editor at Rolling Stone. Her work has appeared in GQ, Men’s Journal, the Los Angeles Times Sunday Magazine, and the Washington Post, among other publications. She holds a master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University.

Peter Baksa Continues Book Series Publicity Efforts with Newman

July 20th, 2011

It’s None of My Business What You Think of Me!

Author: Peter Baksa
Publisher: Intelegance

Peter Baksa : It's None of My Business What You Think of Me

Peter Baksa : It's None of My Business What You Think of Me

Newman Communication’s introduced Peter Baksa’s previous book title, Point of Power, to the world with a book tour that saw the author featured on national radio networks such as Lifestyle Talk Radio and the Cable Radio Network. He appeared on radio stations all over the country from East (WHUD, New York, NY) to West (KKNW, Seattle, WA). Now, Peter Baksa has returned for a new book publicity campaign for his latest book, It’s None of My Business What You Think of Me!. Already, Peter has appeared on multiple national radio networks, including Voice of America and Money Maters. Additionally, his work has been highlighted in Tony Robins’ “Breakthrough: The Power of Crisis” section of the Huffington Post and in an interview with the website GetInspired.

About the Book:

Throughout our lives, we are constantly influenced by factors that surround us. We unknowingly make “life contracts” with parents, friends, teachers, employers, and the media, amongst other influences. “Life is a series of contracts,” Peter Baksa writes in It’s None of My Business What You Think of Me, “…these contracts can make you poor, sad, and unhealthy, if they are kept.” They work against free will and are obstructions to fulfillment; thrown up by the ego. “Oftentimes, we’re our own worst enemy,” says Baksa.

In his interview with GetInspired, Baksa states “I believe we have two choices; one is to come from a place of ego, and oftentimes ego is fear, or we have a choice to come from inspiration…which means we’re going to approach a life situation from a point of love, trust, and faith.” It’s None of My Business What You Think of Me! teaches the reader how to approach life in this way. By noticing these contracts, one is able to cancel or rewrite them in order to free yourself, and live the life you have wanted for so long.

About the Author:

Peter Baksa recieved several advanced degrees from the University of Illinois, where he later worked as a visiting professor and lecturer. In addition to writing books and speaking to audiences around the country, Peter has worked with many charities and creates music and art. He is passionate about his writing, and feels that his work can lead to real change. Ultimately, Peter says, “I’m just excited to share through my books.”
