glpr stands for ‘Gotta Love Peter, right’? His warm, professional and effective representation resulted in my best experience with publicists since I began 40 years ago, not to mention the 30+ interviews lined up within a three-month span! It’s also remarkable that Peter’s support of my work surpassed any expectation set out in our agreement, including his fielding of interview requests even after our contract ended. I truly give Peter my highest recommendation.

Working with glpr is an absolute delight. They know our audience, our deadlines and I trust their judgment implicitly. If they represent the client, I know the guest will be top notch and the booking process will be flawless. I have tremendous respect for Peter and the work he does to urge us to cover important issues we may have otherwise overlooked.

—Joe Donahue, Vice President, News and Programming, WAMC Northeast Public Radio

I want to express my sincere gratitude to Peter Bermudes’ outstanding work in promoting our book, Illmatic Consequences. His review of the material and our early meetings showed that he cares about what he can deliver. Beyond his honesty, meticulous preparation, constructive feedback, extensive network, and genuine respect for our work, Peter’s approach also fostered a genuine friendship. His dedication not only ensured the campaign’s success, but also made the entire experience enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend Peter and glpr to authors seeking a dedicated and effective promotional partner.

—Ayo Sekai, Publisher, Universal Write Publications

Working with glpr exceeded my expectations. From the beginning, Peter approached my work with genuine care. His enthusiasm for my book translated into dozens of conversations with intelligent, committed and curious radio hosts who expanded my perception of all the ways my work might be read, enjoyed and challenged. I can say without hesitation that this experience has changed how I understand the work I’ve done to date, and has shaped the work I want to do going forward.

As a radio host who frequently interviews authors on a wide range of socio-economic and political issues, I’ve worked with Peter and glpr for decades. I’ve relied on his careful and discerning judgement in the books and authors he sends my way. His preparation and assistance to both authors and media folk like me is of a quality that far surpasses other publicists. He is incredibly responsive, standup, and available to provide assistance and advice. I heartily recommend him and his work.

—Marc Stern, host & producer, WMBR’s “Radio with a View”

Peter is the most encouraging and tireless of champions. His intelligence, warmth, and candid enthusiasm were an inspiration as together we framed the critical imagination and social concerns of my work—Latin American and US Latinx art, LGBTQ+ culture, literary translation, and multiculturalism—into robust conversations and relatable stories for audiences of all kinds.

—Roberto Tejada, author of Still Nowhere in an Empty Vastness

Getting content that matters to our listeners that’s not being flogged to death by all the big dogs is not easy, especially when you want to provide progressive content besides. Well, glpr solved that problem, and has ever since we first got together over 20 years ago. Their attention to detail in terms of who they’re talking to that day about whom is impeccable to say the least. They understand that one size does not fit all, that what might be a hit at one station might be a colossal “so what?” just down the road. The bottom line? If you’re looking to work with a publicist, look no further than glpr.

—John Ford, Independent Producer and Host, KAOS, Olympia Community Radio

Working with glpr was by far the best experience I’ve had working with a publicity agency. Peter was totally professional, reliable, and thoughtful, and it’s clear that he truly cares about his clients and helping make the world a better place. Peter went above and beyond, coaching me, giving me written feedback on my questions, even bending his own weekend rule by meeting with me on a Sunday to conduct a mock interview. He lined up 26 interviews for me to do over the one week I was going to be in the States, and he was available when I needed support. I truly loved working with glpr.

—Melanie Joy, author of Powerarchy: Understanding the Psychology of Oppression for Social Transformation

I have worked with Peter for 10 plus years on more than 20 Berrett-Koehler books. He always exceeds our expectations with his professional manner and incredible PR skills. He is able to secure dozens of radio interviews in the most influential markets and authors are always extremely satisfied with his work. Peter’s an amazing partner.

—Katie Sheehan, Senior Communications Manager, Berrett-Koehler Publishers

At Jefferson Public Radio, we are very grateful to Peter and glpr. JPR’s discussion program hosts a weekly book segment on topics important to our large and diverse listening community. Our goal in the segment is to have a close and meaningful discussion on a range of subjects, from the climate crisis to racism in education to healthy aging. We trust Peter and glpr to connect us with thoughtful and thought-provoking books and authors that keep our listeners engaged and stimulate conversation. We appreciate Peter’s sincere support of the authors he represents, and his understanding of the nuances of their work and of our mission to inform and connect. Finally, Peter’s professionalism and charm make him an absolute delight to work with.

—Angela Decker, Senior Producer, Jefferson Public Radio’s “Jefferson Exchange”

I found working with Peter a wonderful experience. I wrote a book challenging most of the received wisdom about vaccine dissent, and we didn’t know what the response of radio interviewers would be. Peter read my book closely and developed questions that he sent along to the radio hosts. He prepped me through intensive pre-interview discussions, and we strategized how to respond to particularly challenging questions. And he followed up and thoughtfully considered the new challenges that emerged as the interviews started. All of the hosts were great, and they wanted me to succeed in the interview, even when they disagreed with my arguments. glpr’s curation of the experience overall was superb. As an academic, I thought I knew how to talk about my research, but working with Peter taught me that I needed new skills to articulate my findings to public audiences. By shepherding me through this process, he helped me be my best as I developed these skills over the course of the three months that we worked together.

glpr’s professional, thoughtful, and creative approach sets them apart as a leader in the industry. Peter’s meticulous attention to detail ensures that every project is executed flawlessly, while his insightful strategies resonate deeply with audiences. With glpr, you can trust that your authors and books will not only be represented with excellence, but will also stand out.

—Jana Nelson, Director of Publicity, Broadleaf Books

Peter goes about his work with a clear understanding of the demands placed on busy talk show producers: his pitches are clear and informed by a sense of what we like; his follow up is persistent, never aggressive; and he’s responsive if and when we need to change directions—which happens; this is live radio after all! Since I started at the show two years ago, Peter has connected us with over a dozen of his authors, who are consistently prepared and engaging. While I don’t always end up booking them for whatever reason, I always welcome a pitch from glpr.

—Keziah Glow, Producer, WBAI’s “Leonard Lopate at Large”

My experience in working with Peter and glpr was excellent in every way. He’d read my book carefully, understood its claims and its place in the literature, and had a superb sense of where it would best find an audience. His work with me in preparing for this process was likewise extraordinarily useful. And he was able to organize over 20 interviews with thoughtful, well-informed hosts in important markets. What’s more, my dealings with Peter were unfailingly professional and enjoyable. I’m convinced that engaging Peter and glpr was one of the best decisions I made in publicizing my book, and I would not hesitate to work with them again.
