ChildrenNearby: Right In Your Own Backyard™, a nonprofit photo documentary that captured the beauty and innocence of homeless children, was conceived and coordinated by The Write Publicist as an event to raise money for Genesis Shelter. The company conceptualized the exhibit, coordinated photography, and executed full press coverage, which included print media, television, and radio coverage as well as all sponsorship procurement. National sponsors included Kroger Supermarkets and Wolf Camera and Video. The timeline for execution was one year. A Certificate of Appreciation was presented by the Mayor of Atlanta, which read, "For your outstanding contributions to the growth, vitality, and spirit of our City kids. "
Producing both the public relations campaign and Atlanta reception for Having Our Say, the extraordinary play produced by Camille Cosby and Judith R. James, represents a mere sampling of The Write Publicist's superb coordination abilities. Having Our Say is the extraordinary tale of Bessie and Sadie Delaney and the heartwarming experiences, struggles, and joys of the sisters, spanning 100-plus years. Passionate, provocative and unforgettable, the piece speaks universally of a rare dignity to which all mankind should aspire. The Write Publicist directed a staff to produce a star-studded reception befitting of Camille Cosby's grand attendance and the grandeur of the play's opening night in Atlanta.
As publicist for the 1996 National Black Arts Festival (a Fulton County contract), Regina Lynch-Hudson publicized a $2.7 million dollar festival, the world's largest and most celebrated 10-day exposition of black art. For her outstanding execution of festival publicity, she received the Best PR Campaign of the Year Award through the Atlanta Association of Media Women. Ingenuity and proactive initiative in organizing the 1996 National Black Arts Festival press conference trademarks The Write Publicist's orchestration as unforgettable! The publicity firm was able to lure over 500 guests to a Monday noonday conference — including television coverage and attendance of news reporters from virtually every pocket of Georgia; and as far away as New York and California for the announcement of a city festival. An opening performance of drummers from varied nations emerged from the back of the media-filled room causing cameras to click amid the hushed surprise in the room. Her dynamic but deliberate awe-inspiring commencement and a prestigious panel that included the Mayor of Atlanta, celebrity spokespeople, and community leaders were covered by newspapers nationwide. The Write Publicist strategically created a staff comprised of corporate PR professionals, who teamed with her on a volunteer basis to aid with execution of various components of the 10- day festival — which drew over 1,350,000 attendees.
Countless companies have relied on The Write Publicist as a partner in publicizing "red carpet" events, such as grand openings, book signings, exhibitions, fashion shows, press conferences, theatrical stage plays, corporate events and charity fundraisers. The Write Publicist's coverage of events includes pre-and post event publicity outreach, concept creation, and setting up V.I.P interviews.

Following Cherrelle's hiatus from the music industry, The Write Publicist was contracted by Power Records, when they set out to produce the singer's "comeback album." The record label questioned how Regina Lynch-Hudson would get music magazines to feature a performing artist who hadn't had a hit in years. After one hour of candid conversation with Cherrelle over breakfast in a downtown Atlanta hotel, Lynch-Hudson found her angle: Cherrelle revealed that she had been on a self-defining journey after her husband's death, rehabilitating her daughters and herself, and waiting for "the right time" to surface again.
Regina Lynch-Hudson wrote the gripping original story that defined where the singer had been. Within weeks, other versions of the story ran in music trade publications and newspapers nationwide. References to "the right time" (from Lynch-Hudson's original article) constantly reappeared in subsequent articles. As a result, Cherrelle's album was dubbed "The Right Time." Lynch-Hudson's original article appeared in 1997, two years before Cherrelle's comeback album hit the streets. Having worked with a number of artists, this very early account is a testament to the fact that The Write Publicist is no rookie to the music scene.
