Guest Post: Sami from Roger Charlie
Hi everyone! Today I have someone very special on the blog, Sami from Roger Charlie. She is here to talk about her business, so please enjoy!
Hi and thank you so much for having
me! I wanted to take the opportunity to
share what it is I do in case it is helpful to any of your followers, and also
connect with even more of your readers out there, as one of my very favorite
people to work with are book bloggers and reviewers!
First of all - let me fill you in a bit on who I am. My name is Sami and I run a company called Roger Charlie that specializes in publicity and management for creative professionals - particularly authors, musicians and small businesses. I actually just recently jumped out on my own after nearly four years working exclusively in literary publicity because in addition to books, both local/small business and music are also two of my very biggest passions, and I wanted to move more into supporting those endeavors, as well.
I also run with my husband called Songs for Jake, a collaborative music channel that operates around the simple mission of getting great songs to one really big music lover. Jake, my younger brother, has cerebral palsy - which I only mention to emphasize the impact music has on his life. While he can't talk or tell you in words about the music he enjoys, he definitely can show you the happiness it brings him through his laughter and excitement. The project also marries a passion for creating, finding and sharing that music with Jake, along with others who may benefit from music therapy.

I really love what I do. I love
that thought that publicity really revolves around reaching out to people who
may have not otherwise heard about a great book, band or business had I not
been in touch, and I get excited when someone responds enthusiastically. It really cultivates a positive attitude and
experience for everyone involved, and I’m all for supporting anything that
motivates and inspires an individual to move forward ferociously in the things
that they really love.
As I mentioned earlier, I
particularly love working with bloggers and reviewers (like Isobel), because
it’s like having an extended network of friends that always want to talk about
things that we both love. I think we all love it because it comes very easy and
natural to us - which ultimately makes it fun.

I run Songs for Jake
and Roger Charlie
because I think it’s so important to incorporate the things you are truly
dedicated to into your day-to-day work and life, because it fosters growth and
encourages even more people to jump in and be part of the conversation.
I’d love to create some
conversation with all of you. What are some of your favorite books? What are
some promotions that you’ve seen for authors that you thought were particularly
interesting? Why do you blog about
books - and do you have a book club? I’d love to know more about all of you,
too!
