I’ve joined my friends at Lavender Public Relations!

I’m drawn to transportive literary fiction, innovative and soul-stirring nonfiction and poetry, and debut writers whose perspectives and storytelling styles have been traditionally undervalued by mainstream publishing.
April 2026 — Amelia, Brittani, and I joined the lovely Joanna Phoenix and Evelyn Skye on the Creative, Inspired, ALIVE podcast to chat about our work — listen to/watch our conversation here.
August 2025 — LPR spoke with Danielle Bukowski of the Just Reading All Day Substack to talk freelance publicity — read our conversation here.

“Working with Carla was one of the great joys of my professional life. She brings an intuitive understanding of how to shape and share a story, always with a deep respect for the artist’s voice. Carla is a rare blend of creative sensitivity and strategic thinking—she listens closely, writes beautifully, and follows through with grace and persistence. Any campaign she touches gains clarity, heart, and momentum.””
““Not only did you advocate for the book at every turn, but you gave me resources that showed me how to become a better advocate for the book myself, which was especially helpful as a debut author... I have been consistently amazed at the placements you secured for my work, and the ways you amplified my writing :) Now it is truly crazy to see things happening organically!
Thank you for believing in JOAN from the very beginning, for championing it with such care, and for making what could have felt like a completely overwhelming and confusing first book experience instead feel exciting, collaborative, and deeply affirming.””
““Carla Bruce is a genuine joy to work with. Talking to her is always so easy, and I genuinely appreciate how much she clearly loves books and the authors who write them. She guides the process of finding readers with passion and insight. I’ve already recommended her to many authors and will keep doing so.” ”
““Thank you for all your effort and commitment and belief in the book. I’m so pleased with the publicity the book received and I know it will continue finding its readers because of the foundation we created. I feel lucky to have had you by my side for this journey.””
