Fogle’s “Tricks for Treats” (Bowtie Press, 2010), North Shore Animal League spokesperson and wife of shock jock Howard Stern, Beth Ostrosky Stern’s new book, “Oh My Dog” (Gallery Books, May 2010), and author Steve Duno’s, “Last Dog on the Hill” (St. Martin’s Press, June 2010).

PetCentricAuthors.com, the Pet Bookshelf Blog and The Business of Pet Writing Conference fill a gap in the publishing industry
In particular, PetCentric Authors, is the only site that evaluates and reviews the breadth of pet publishing and serves as an online location offering a range of top-notch pet books. We just officially launched, but there’s already tremendous buzz from authors and publishers. Everyone is sending us books for evaluation.

The site also hosts Reed’s Pet Bookshelf Blog with interactive blog content including Twitter interviews, giveaways, contests and videos. Guest blogger and publicist Amy Greenman comments about BEA and wonders if it takes celebrity panache to publish a pet book these days.
In addition to the book review site, Reed launched a corresponding business, Reed Books, which sells newly released pet titles and popular pet books online.
As the author of “The Miss Fido Manners Complete Book of Dog Etiquette” (Adams Media, 2007) and the producer of the three-year-old, The Business of Pet Writing Conference, Reed’s first-hand knowledge of the pet publishing industry allowed her to identify a need to promote and market animal-interest books and their authors in the marketplace.
“PetCentricAuthors.com, the Pet Bookshelf Blog and The Business of Pet Writing Conference fill a gap in the publishing industry,” Reed said. “In particular, PetCentric Authors, is the only site that evaluates and reviews the breadth of pet publishing and serves as an online location offering a range of top-notch pet books. We just officially launched, but there’s already tremendous buzz from authors and publishers. Everyone is sending us books for evaluation.”
Reed’s reviewers are pet-owning librarians, pet trend experts, retired school teachers, journalists and authors who are dedicated to promoting the animal-human bond.
Furthermore, the site invites publishers and pet-related companies to sponsor podcasts and to purchase advertising. PetCentricAuthors also offers author marketing campaigns to help authors promote their newly released pet books.
