“If O&A can help me, it can help anybody. I was a problem client because my book, The Afghan Campaign, is fiction. If you've ever tried to get onto “Hardball” or “Charlie Rose”, you know the producers only want nonfiction. In other words, O&A had to reason, cajole, browbeat and wheedle. O&A did the same on my behalf with opinion editors of newspapers (also prejudiced against fiction writers) and even book reviewers at certain military journals. O&A won in the end—and won my undying respect and gratitude.

“Callie Oettinger knows everybody.  She is notoriously tough on clients, in a good way, continually pushing them out of their writerly cocoons and into the promotional limelight. She won't want me to reveal this (it might establish an unwholesome precedent) but Callie kept on working for me even after my fee had been exhausted.  She's the best! Run, do not walk to enlist her in your service.”

—Steven Pressfield, author
The Afghan Campaign, The Virtues of War, The Legend of Bagger Vance,
Gates of Fire, Tides of War, Last of the Amazons and The War of Art

"In the eight years that I have known Callie Oettinger, we have worked together in various capacities. Oettinger & Associates has done publicity for Praeger Security International Online and print products, and its participation in the initial product launch in 2005–2006 was instrumental in the imprint's success. Callie is a top-notch detail-oriented professional who understands publishing and media. I could not recommend her—or her firm—more highly."
