Meet David

David W. Berner is an award-winning journalist, broadcaster, author, and teacher.

He is the best-selling, award-winning author of fiction, creative nonfiction, memoir, short stories, and poetry. His work includes the novels A Well-Respected Man, The Islander, Night Radio, Sandman, and Rainbow Man, and the nonfiction books Accidental Lessons, Any Road Will Take You There, Walks with Sam, The Consequence of Stars, and Daylight Saving Time.

Daylight Saving Time: The Power of Growing Older, offers an intimate and deeply reflective exploration of aging and an empowering invitation to see growing older not as something to fear, but as a privilege.

Through his own journey, David encourages readers of all ages to recognize the beauty, possibility and transformative power that can come with growing older.

With a career spanning journalism, broadcasting and publishing, David understood the importance of getting a book in front of the right audience.

However, in today’s increasingly competitive marketplace, getting noticed has become increasingly difficult.

Rather than spending countless hours trying to secure coverage himself, David turned to the Book Excellence Done For You PR Program for professional support.

Using Media Coverage to Reach New Audiences

Through the Done For You PR Program, Book Excellence took the time-consuming work of publicity off David’s plate and helped expand exposure for Daylight Saving Time.

David was also pleased with what mattered most: the response his book received.

David’s Success

David has built a distinguished career around storytelling.

As a longtime Chicago broadcast journalist, bestselling author and former associate professor at Columbia College Chicago, he has spent decades communicating stories and ideas across multiple mediums. Today, he continues to teach writing through Gotham Writers Workshop in New York City while publishing essays about writing, music, the arts and life.

His books have earned recognition from literary organizations around the world, and his work as a Writer-in-Residence at both the Jack Kerouac Project and Ernest Hemingway Birthplace Home and Museum further reflects his accomplishments as a writer.

The Done For You PR Program helped David extend the reach of that message, generating coverage and interest while reaching places he says would have required considerable time to access himself.

David’s Advice

For David, investing in the Done For You PR Program meant more than gaining coverage. It meant saving valuable time, reaching places he couldn’t easily reach on his own and having someone else handle the heavy lifting of publicity.
