"I celebrated my 10th business
anniversary with an Open House. The focus for our celebration
was a fundraiser for World's Window and the Women's
Empowerment Project, an international service campaign to
provide sewing machines for a village in Zimbabwe. Bartel
Communications secured feature-story coverage about me and the
project with the Times Union and the Clifton Park
Spotlight. This publicity resulted in a large attendance
at the Open House and considerable monies collected for this
worthy cause. Bartel Communications' strategy of using my
corporate anniversary as a means to promote my business turned
out to be right on target and generated significant interest
from people I would not have reached otherwise."

"Pauline's
goal is to make her clients successful while providing the
highest possible return on the investment. She is intuitive,
insightful, smart, creative, forthright, honest, kind, and a
straight shooter. Pauline's professionalism and talent
position the client for fast-track success, while she
graciously applauds from the sidelines. Pauline makes every
client feel special, giving 100% and more. Pauline gets 'it'
-- whatever the client's 'it' may be. I find it challenging to
describe a professional relationship/service that has had such
a dramatic, across-the-board impact on my business."

thought our session was very productive. Your ability to get
the creative juices flowing through brainstorming is a great
asset. Your questions about an idea develop the marketing
strategy into a plan that is workable. There are so many ways
to market a company that are not mundane and usual, and I
think you have the ability to find and develop those marketing
avenues."

I
believe that everybody has a book inside them. In fact, I had
written 25 pages of a book about the mechanics of prospecting,
but I didn't know what to do next. Then I heard a presentation
by Pauline Bartel of Bartel Communications, Inc., about her
writing and editing services, and I knew I had to talk to her
about my book. Pauline turned out to be a great resource, so I
hired her. Using my manuscript as a starting point, she
organized my rambling thoughts into a coherent outline;
presented what I wanted to say in a clear, concise style that
actually sounded like me; and turned into reality my book, Generate
New Business: A Practical Guide to Setting (and Getting!)
Appointments. Pauline was the perfect person for this
project!

"I can't thank
you enough for the outstanding job you did in publicizing the
news about my being named REALTOR of the Year" by the
Greater Capital Association of REALTORS.
I was pleased when The
Business Review picked up the story for their "Daily
Update" on-line edition and delighted when the story and
my photograph appeared in their print edition as well. The Sunday
Gazette, Spotlight, and Times Union ran the
story, too. The latest appearance of the news in the Albany
Chamber's magazine, Visions, was the icing on the cake!
(My colleagues noticed, too.) Thank you!
I remain one of
your biggest fans."

"Many, many
thanks for your excellent presentation! "Writing &
Selling Your Book" was everything faculty participants
had hoped for and more. Faculty were most appreciative of your
careful organization, purposeful use of time, and clear
handouts. They took special note of your ability to answer
their varied questions both directly and insightfully and to
tailor your comments to the needs of individual participants.
Your presentation
coincided with a busy phase in the college's academic year,
and attendees clearly felt that their time was well spent.
Faculty left with renewed energy and enthusiasm about the
possibilities for their writing -- what more could one ask of
a workshop?! Thank you!"

"As a result of flooding that occurred in New York State
between May and August 2000, a Presidential declaration of
disaster targeted 28 counties to receive federal assistance
to repair public facilities. At the Disaster Field Office
in Albany, New York, Ms. Pauline Bartel was employed by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in August 2000
to plan and prepare a brochure of 'Mitigation Success Stories'
in New York State. This project was part of a community outreach
program to motivate local communities to plan and implement
mitigation measures that would reduce flood damage in future
events. It was identified as a high-priority project by the
Federal Coordinating Officer.
Although the conceptual parameters of the Hazard Mitigation
Program were new to Ms. Bartel, she quickly absorbed the relevant
program information and led a team of mitigation specialists
in the preparation of a four-color brochure. The resulting
brochure was a high-quality professional product that was
highly appropriate for the targeted audience and has received
outstanding reviews from local, state and Federal officials.
Ms. Bartel's expertise and professionalism were key ingredients
in this very successful project, and FEMA is grateful for
the opportunity to have had Ms. Bartel as a member of the
Mitigation team."

"What a relief it was to be able to pick up the phone and
have you say 'yes' to taking on the daunting task of rewriting
a first draft manuscript almost from scratch, and for you
to complete the project on an impossible schedule of four
weeks. The rewritten manuscript reviewed not only well within
the marketplace, which is our main goal at Delmar to secure
the sale, but also pleased the author of the original first
draft on the first read."
Andrea Edwards Myers
Developmental Editor
Delmar Publishers
"Pauline Bartel has her finger on the pulse of the press.
Through only brief work with Pauline, I was able to secure
two full-page newspaper stories with photos about my work.
I expect that these stories will lead to increased business.
I look forward to using Pauline's services to continue bringing
my services to public awareness. She delivers."

"I
feel fortunate to have access to the book marketing services
of Bartel Communications. I particularly appreciate Pauline
Bartel's knowledge of the ways to market a book outside of the
traditional venues. Even more important for me has been
Pauline's guidance on how to approach potential buyers and
publicity personnel within the publishing industry so the
outcome is a win/win situation for all involved."

"I signed up for your beginning book course to add some diversity
to my life, have a little fun, and perhaps pick up a practical
point or two about the publishing industry. The fact that
ten months later Simon & Schuster offered me a contract and
cash advance on the basis of the proposal that I conceptualized
and developed during your course continues to astound me.
After years of toying with the idea of publishing a book,
and a couple more of writing and invariably being rejected
or more likely just being ignored, it was a joyous discovery
to recognize that the seemingly impenetrable world of publishing
can indeed be accessed. As I learned from your tutelage, success
in publishing comes down to an understanding of what is commercially
marketable, crystallizing what it is that you have to say,
and putting together a proposal that will impress.
Even though I now understand the process of putting together
a book proposal and query letter, I could not have managed
it the first time around without your solid professional advice
and enthusiastic support. I have great respect for your commitment
to your students and will always be grateful to you for helping
me come to believe in the plausibility of publishing success."
Alan Shapiro, Ph.D.

"I have been a writer and editor all my professional life,
but I knew nothing about developing and marketing a book proposal
until I took your course. Still, I was not prepared to strike
out on my own. Your unflagging optimism and support and your
technical knowledge about the publishing industry made the
difference. With you in my corner, how could I lose! I can
honestly say that I wouldn't have done it without you."

"Writing a book is a very challenging undertaking, as it
was for someone like me, having no professional experience.
I began writing my book, Baseball In Dutchess County -
When It Was A Game, in 1994. It was quite an ordeal and
a success story that would never have happened without the
assistance of Pauline Bartel. She was my mentor and inspiration
along that bumpy road. Her encouragement from the very beginning
gave me the confidence I needed to continue my long journey
to success. Pauline Bartel is a very professional, understanding,
and helpful person. Her class, "How To Write & Sell Your Book,"
is a must for every aspiring author."
Joseph V. Poillucci
Wappingers Falls, NY
"Working with Pauline is the best thing I've done to get
my writing going. I got my first article published four months
after taking Pauline's course. She taught me how to pitch
an article successfully and how to approach editors with confidence.
Thank you, Pauline!"
