Book publicity helps promote a rare glimpse into Scientology
INSIDE SCIENTOLOGY: The Story of America’s Most Secretive Religion
Author: Janet Reitman
Publisher: Houghton-Mifflin
Inside Scientology - Janet Reitman
If all you know about Scientology is that Tom Cruise and John Travolta are practitioners of the religion, then Janet Reitman has written the book for you.
Newman Communications helped educate and inform radio listeners nationwide with a radio focused book publicity tour for Janet Reitman’s controversial book INSIDE SCIENTOLOGY: The Story of America’s Most Secretive Religion. Janet completed a 30-city radio book tour, which included KFI-AM/Los Angeles, Talk Radio Network, Sirius/XM Radio America’s Radio News Network and more. Janet also recently hosted a live online Q&A about Inside Scientology with the Washington Post, discussing the extensive research she did preparing for the book.
About the book
Inside Scientology is the defining work on the faith by the Rolling Stone journalist. It confirms the astonishing truth about life within the controversial religion.
The book is based on confidential documents, over one hundred interviews with current and former Scientologists, and five years of research. Reitman reveals all, starting with how the singular L. Ron Hubbard transformed a self-help group into a worldwide spiritual corporation. After Hubbard’s death in 1986, a young acolyte named David Miscavige assumed control; since then, he has overseen some of the church’s greatest triumphs — among them a controversial billion-dollar IRS tax exemption and Tom Cruise’s emergence as a vocal advocate — while also creating a climate of fear and intimidation, according to ex-members whose stories of abuse Reitman shares. Reitman is the first to examine Miscavige’s twenty-five-year reign and what it might mean for the future of the church.
About Janet Reitman
Janet Reitman was a finalist for a National Magazine Award in 2007 for the Rolling Stone story “Inside Scientology,” from which this book grew. She is a contributing editor at Rolling Stone. Her work has appeared in GQ, Men’s Journal, the Los Angeles Times Sunday Magazine, and the Washington Post, among other publications. She holds a master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University.

Peter Baksa Continues Book Series Publicity Efforts with Newman
It’s None of My Business What You Think of Me!
Author: Peter Baksa
Publisher: Intelegance
Peter Baksa : It's None of My Business What You Think of Me
Newman Communication’s introduced Peter Baksa’s previous book title, Point of Power, to the world with a book tour that saw the author featured on national radio networks such as Lifestyle Talk Radio and the Cable Radio Network. He appeared on radio stations all over the country from East (WHUD, New York, NY) to West (KKNW, Seattle, WA). Now, Peter Baksa has returned for a new book publicity campaign for his latest book, It’s None of My Business What You Think of Me!. Already, Peter has appeared on multiple national radio networks, including Voice of America and Money Maters. Additionally, his work has been highlighted in Tony Robins’ “Breakthrough: The Power of Crisis” section of the Huffington Post and in an interview with the website GetInspired.
About the Book:
Throughout our lives, we are constantly influenced by factors that surround us. We unknowingly make “life contracts” with parents, friends, teachers, employers, and the media, amongst other influences. “Life is a series of contracts,” Peter Baksa writes in It’s None of My Business What You Think of Me, “…these contracts can make you poor, sad, and unhealthy, if they are kept.” They work against free will and are obstructions to fulfillment; thrown up by the ego. “Oftentimes, we’re our own worst enemy,” says Baksa.
In his interview with GetInspired, Baksa states “I believe we have two choices; one is to come from a place of ego, and oftentimes ego is fear, or we have a choice to come from inspiration…which means we’re going to approach a life situation from a point of love, trust, and faith.” It’s None of My Business What You Think of Me! teaches the reader how to approach life in this way. By noticing these contracts, one is able to cancel or rewrite them in order to free yourself, and live the life you have wanted for so long.
About the Author:
Peter Baksa recieved several advanced degrees from the University of Illinois, where he later worked as a visiting professor and lecturer. In addition to writing books and speaking to audiences around the country, Peter has worked with many charities and creates music and art. He is passionate about his writing, and feels that his work can lead to real change. Ultimately, Peter says, “I’m just excited to share through my books.”
