• PublicAffairs — Whitney Peeling, Director of Publicity
  A day planned by Hooks Books is the equivalent of a national media hit. One day in their hands often means hundreds and hundreds (or many more) books sold, and always means a well-planned and well-promoted visit to Washington, DC. Every author should be so lucky as to be awarded a date in their calendar.

• Bob Deans, co-author of Clean Energy Common Sense: An American Call to Action on Global Climate Change
  Hooks Book Events is terrific. They did the sales for our launch at the National Press Club and struck just the right tone – businesslike and purposeful, fun and engaged. They took care of the stock, the sales and the break down afterwards. All I did was show up – Hooks Book Events did the rest. When it comes to running a first-rate Washington book event, the folks at Hooks Books are the pros.

• Armstrong Frankin — Shira Harrington, Managing Director
  I have been absolutely thrilled with the speakers provided by Hooks Book Events! As the program chair for the HR Leadership Forum (HRLF), a membership organization serving HR executives, I have purposed to present a slate of presenters who would inspire and engage these senior level strategists. Both of the authors provided by Perry and Loretta have done just that. In fact, I have received outstanding comments from our members after both recent events including the following:

“Thank you for devoting time to the “L” in HRLF. Bravo!”
“What a program!!! I was very impressed. I dropped out of the HRLF because the programs were not at a level that were beneficial to me. You have definitely made a difference to the organization…”

I would highly recommend Hooks Book Events to any organization seeking top flight speakers on topics that are timely, strategic and engaging. Your audience will thank you!

• Diane MacEachern, author of Big Green Purse: Use Your Spending Power to Create a Cleaner, Greener World
  Perry Hooks can’t be beat when you need someone to organize an author event. She’s a real pro at building a crowd, generating publicity, and selling books. I’ve been the beneficiary of her expertise as an author myself. I’ve also seen her prowess at work at SRO events for Nobel Prize winner Muhammed Yunus and mega author Malcolm Gladwell. If you want book sales as well as buzz, look no further than Perry Hooks.

• Greater Washington Board of Trade — Jim Dinegar, President and CEO
  We are VERY excited to host the event with Bill Gates Sr. at the end of April. Hooks Book Events is making April a wonderful month because you are bringing us the fabulous Cokie Roberts, too! I still hear good things about our night with the Animal Spirits authors, Nobel Prize Winner George Akerlof and Yale Professor Dr. Bob Shiller. That is the right caliber speaker and, as word spreads, we will drive more and more people to purchase their books and know of your firm. Thanks for this opportunity to work together. I am excited about things.

• The Grameen Foundation — Alex Counts, President
  The Treasury Department event went incredibly well. Thanks on working out such a great event for us.

• Newsweek — Evan Thomas, Washington Bureau Chief
  I can’t think of anyone more competent at putting on a book and author event than Perry Hooks. She is resourceful, well-organized, and efficient, and she does it all with good cheer.

• Noblis — H. Gilbert Miller, Ph.D., Chief Technology Officer
  Hooks Book Events identifies and invites potential speakers, then facilitates and executes the event ….We are pleased to be a partner with HBE in delivering a fuel of new ideas and perspectives to the Noblis innovation engine.

• Daniel H. Pink — NY Times bestselling author: Free Agent Nation, A Whole New Mind, The Adventures of Johnny Bunko
  Working with Hooks Book Events has been a joy. Perry and Loretta are passionate book people who are also incredibly savvy about sales and marketing. That’s a rare combination, and it’s why every author can benefit from enlisting their talents. If you’ve got a book to sell, you want them on your team.

• Princeton University Press — Andrew DeSio, Publicity Manager HBE is perhaps the best bookselling and author event group in the Washington DC area. They have arranged numerous events that have greatly increased the visibility of our authors among US Government and business groups. Smart, efficient, dependable and professional, HBE is an innovative company….when planning a book tour through DC, HBE should be your first stop!
