“Sandi and Judy are the publicists that all authors and agents want in their corner. They’re smart, dedicated, and orchestrate campaigns that garner high visibility and media response where it matters most. Above all they are that rare thing in our business: publicists who really, truly understand how books are sold. That’s why they are my go-to strategists and communicators.”
Ed Victor

Lara Spencer
“Sandi Mendelson and her team are the best collaborators you could ask for: savvy, attentive, creative, and indefatigable champions of the work they represent. We should all be so lucky as to have a Sandi in our corner.”
Bianca Bosker: New York Times Bestselling Author
“Sandi and Judy are masters at helping create overall marketing strategy, as well as executing the publicity and promotion components which comprise it. They are effective at branding authors, helping to launch an author’s profile, and sustaining his/her presence in the marketplace. Most impressive of all, no detail is too small for their attention.”
Amanda Urban: Literary Agent, International Creative Management
“Imaginative, collaborative, dogged and effective, Hilsinger-Mendelson is the gold standard of public relations.”
Richard Pine: InkWell Literary Management
“Sandi knows how to help authors and publishers reach their target audience by honing an author and book’s message, and getting that message out through the media. Her team moves quickly but think long term; they’re dogged when they need to be, but move on and try something new when something’s not working. More than anything, their passion for the authors they take on is evident to anyone they interact with.”
