Welcome to Wunderkind PR!

Elena Stokes founded Wunderkind PR in September 2008 after more then a decade in Publicity at Tor and Forge Books, Macmillan; the last five years she oversaw the department as Director of Publicity. Tanya Farrell, former Associate Publisher and Vice President of Publicity at Picador, joined as a Partner in December 2009.

With a combined twenty-three years of experience in publishing, Elena and Tanya offer commercial, genre, and literary sensibilities to each campaign. The Wunderkind PR philosophy is that personal attention is the key to great results: whether it is working with a publisher to maximize media opportunities or working directly with an author to navigate publishing complexities, formulate the best press materials, and implement the most effective publicity strategy.

Wunderkind PR creates comprehensive publicity plans from the ground up, from early author blurbs to print, blog, and broadcast bookings at the time of on-sale. At the same time, Elena and Tanya also tailor specialized plans and work closely with in-house publicists to maximize publicity exposure for their authors. They only take on a few authors at a time so their clients will always get the maximum benefit of their experience and personal attention.
