Lauren Cerand advises her clients on buzz, and how to get it. Her clients this year include “Upstairs at the Square” for Barnes & Noble, the Mazama Festival of Books, Anouk Markovits, Katherine Bucknell, Masha Hamilton, and Molly Crabapple. Lauren serves on the Membership Committee of PEN American Center, and donates her publicity services to the National Book Critics Circle for its annual awards.
