Praise for The LEEP 5 Stars: from a Busy Mom "This list of holidays, events and observances is the perfect tool for creating an editorial calendar. This book saved me so much time and is well worth the money. I can't imagine creating an editorial calendar without it." M. McGraw, Mother Virginia, USA 5 Stars: You won't run out of ideas with this book! "This publication is great. It's easy to store (not bulky) and the price is fantastic. Of course, there is an almost never-ending list of special days that you can use to create newsworthy angles. The pages are organized in a user-friendly format and the content is double indexed. There are even "notes" pages. You certainly won't run out of ideas with this book. I'm a fan of any tool that will help me create tie-ins and story angles (and fit within my budget). I highly recommend it!" Nancy Spencer (publicist), Canada
