Kathleen Kaiser Joins Two Nonprofit Boards
it's been hectic at KKA the past three months. With clients winning awards, new book releases, and our new work promoting the Ojai Film Festival, we forgot to announce that Kathleen has been asked to join two boards of directors: The Ojai Film Festival and the Independent Writers of Southern California (IWOSC).

A Conversation with Kathleen Sexton Kaiser
I met Kathleen at the wonderfully produced 805 Writers’ Conference. I make a point of that, since she produced it. Kathleen is a savvy navigator of all things publishing. With four published books and three plays under her belt, she understands how authors and artists are often confused by the new world of marketing their products and themselves. Kathleen, whose expertise encompasses seminars, conferences, special events, publicity, marketing communications and trade show production, maintains a small list of clients that allow her to continue her volunteerism, which includes being co-founder and executive director of the Pacific Institute for Professional Writing, producer of the annual 805 Writers’ Conference, president of the national organization Small Publishers, Artists & Writers Network (SPAWN), and organizer of a monthly literary meeting in Thousand Oaks, CA sponsored by SPAWN and the Independent Writers of Southern California. The following is a conversation with Kathleen on books, writers and the brave new world of publishing.

View her acceptance speech
Kathleen Sexton Kaiser, president of Kathleen Kaiser & Associates, was been named “Publicist of the Year” for 2016 by the Book Publicists of Southern California (BPSC). The award was presented at a ceremony on October 13 at the Sportsman Lodge in Studio City, CA. This is the 22nd year for the Irwin Awards.
“I was quite shocked by the phone call from Irwin Zucker of BPSC,” said Kaiser. “I’ve been doing publicity since the age of sixteen and have always stayed in the background. It’s quite a different sensation to be in the spotlight. I’m flattered by the award.”
