Betsy DeJesu

Associate Director of Publicity

Betsy has nearly 25 years of experience in publishing, having previously worked in the publicity and marketing departments at Penguin Publishing Group, Oxford University Press, and Hachette Book Group. Most recently, she was the Publicity & Marketing Director at Basic Books before running her own publicity firm, Betsy DeJesu Communications. Missing the camaraderie of working on a collaborative team, Betsy joined Cave Henricks in 2022.

Betsy has worked with a wide range of titles in the general interest, big think, business, and current affairs spaces, including Martin Ford‘s The Rise of the Robots, Edward Baptist‘s The Half Has Never Been Told, Kevin Kruse‘s One Nation Under God, Larry Tribe and Joshua Matz‘s to End a Presidency, Bob Langert‘s The Battle to Do Good, and Clyde Prestowitz‘s The World Turned Upside Down.

She has landed coverage in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Economist, Financial Times, NPR, CNBC, MSNBC, C-SPAN, CNN, Fox Business Network, Sirius Satellite Radio, Bloomberg, Salon, TIME, Daily Beast, and others.

Betsy graduated with a degree in Political Science and English from Fairfield University. She lives in Connecticut.

When she’s not working on books, she’s reading them. Betsy loves podcasts, all animals, and chocolate chip cookies.

“Betsy DeJesu did amazing work promoting my last book. She worked tirelessly on my behalf, fielding inquiries from a wide range of TV, radio, and print outlets and securing interviews at every place from high-profile programs like NPR’s Fresh Air to small local stations, and everything in between. Reliable and resourceful. I don’t know what I would have done without her.”

—Kevin M. Kruse, professor of history at Princeton University, and the author or co-editor of four books, including the award-winning White Flight and One Nation Under God
