"I knew all there was to know about building hotels; I founded Holiday Inns. But I knew nothing about making a book. So when my sons suggested I do a book about my life, I knew I needed a lot of help. And I never had to worry. I was in good hands with Robbin Brent of R.Brent&Company Publishing. She took our idea for a book and made it happen, and that was no small feat. I almost think building a hotel is easier. But she did an outstanding job of managing the entire project. I am very proud of Half Luck and Half Brains; The Kemmons Wilson, Holiday Inn Story, and I couldn't have done it without Robbin's expertise, dedication, enthusiasm, great attention to detail, and her personal warmth and caring. Not only do I have a lasting written legacy of my hotel-building days, I have a friend, too." Kemmons Wilson, founder of Holiday Inns "From dream to reality: If the dream involves a book, Robbin's the one to help! Danny Thomas had a dream that became St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. I had a dream of putting the story behind the history of Danny's dream into libraries all over America. "As I brought my dream closer to reality through our corporate structure, I was blessed to be put in contact with Robbin Brent. For almost two years, she helped me navigate the reefs and shoals of the sometimes-treacherous waters of publishing. Robbin found and coordinated a production team that resulted in our beautiful book, From His Promise, being placed in some 7,000 public libraries across the country. The lasting value of this book is seen in the fact that it is also being used as a gift for our very high donors and donor prospects and VIP guests. Without Robbin, this task would have taken much longer and not been a smidgen of the success it has been." Paul B. Parham, Director of Communications, Retired, ALSAC-St. Jude Children's Research Hospital "Robbin Brent's publishing track record is astounding! As one of the publishers who has worked with her, I can say that I have been and continue to be amazed at her ability to create material that makes all of us the better for her work. Her latest offering, 365 Thoughts: A Daily Guide to Uplift and Inspire, is an exciting perpetual calendar that is certain to impact you and me in a very big way on a daily basis. I can't wait!" Steve Williford, Williford Communications, "Having worked with Robbin Brent on numerous projects during the past five years, I can confidently say that her knowledge and expertise in book publishing extends from the initial concept to the finished product. Robbin is not only a strong and insightful project manager and editor, but she is also talented in layout and graphic design. Besides being one of the most organized and efficient people with whom I have ever worked, Robbin consistently demonstrates a creative flair for grasping an idea, visualizing how best to see that idea to reality, and implementing a strategic process for making that happen." Palmer Thomason Jones, Magazine, "I have worked in collaboration with Robbin on a number of projects over the past six years. She has consistently provided a very high level of organization and professionalism along with great encouragement and enthusiasm for each project. Her insight, attention to detail and natural leadership abilities have proven time and time again to be her greatest strengths. I would encourage anyone with a desire to bring vision to reality, to bring Robbin on board and hand over the keys." Greg Hastings, Associate Creative Director, |
