I'm an experienced marketing professional.

I established Mary Reed Public Relations (MR•PR), a marketing and public relations firm, 20 years ago. Since then I've worked with a wide variety of clients, including attorneys, personal finance professionals, book publishers, authors, realtors, health care professionals, retailers, hotels, restaurants and nonprofits.

I am also a ghostwriter who writes books for professionals interested in "authoring" a book in order to enhance their professional reputations and/or the visibility of their businesses. To date, I've ghostwritten or co-authored 20 nonfiction books, including books published by Wiley (publisher of the popular For Dummies series) and Kaplan Publishing, Inc., as well as e-books. I also ghostwrite magazine and newspaper articles and columns for clients.

Prior to establishing MR•PR, I was vice president of marketing for a national market research firm, director of marketing for a women’s health organization, and public relations manager for Texas Monthly Magazine, the nation's leading regional magazine.

I have an MBA with a focus on marketing from Boston University and a BA from Trinity University in Washington, D.C.
