If you want to sell books, you need publicity. If you want the maximum publicity possible, you need a Media Kit for your fiction or nonfiction book.
Seven important audiences, including journalists, will expect one. And if you don’t have one, hope you never get a phone call from a journalist who hears about your book, wants to interview you and asks, “Can you send me your media kit?’
Publicity expert Joan Stewart, aka The Publicity Hound and a former newspaper editor, will explain the 10 essential elements in every media kit, when she’s my guest during a special 90-minute webinar at 6 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, June 8. This is for authors who have written fiction or nonfiction, and for those who haven’t started their books yet.
You will learn:
- How to use a media kit and how not to use it.
- The seven important audiences for your media kit, and what they expect to see in it.
- The correct format for writing a press release for a fiction book and one for nonfiction.
- Why you should have more than one bio, and the exact word count of each one.
- Tips for using photos in your kit to make the media’s job easy.
- How to shave weeks off the tedious chore of creating a media kit from scratch.
As a special bonus, Joan will give away three 15-minute consultations, but you must join us on the call to be eligible.

SOLD OUT as of June 19, 2015
for the September 15, 2016 date
Contact Info@AuthorU.org and ask to be placed on Waiting List–there is a possibility on one more spot opening up.
There are FOUR HOT sessions will be available at the 2016 Extravaganza September 15-17, 2016 … only ONE Attendee can get his or her toe in the Author Shark Tank at a time. Our panel will listen for a few minutes to your pitch (hear/read that: LISTEN) and then decide IF and HOW they will help the author in the book and publishing quest. The Author Shark Tank will be held late Thursday afternoon, September 15th.
The Author Sharks like passion, persistence and excellence. They will proved incentives to writers and authors who demonstrate it in publishing and authoring through a variety of awards that pertain to their own expertise and product line.
What’s the value to you? It could be money; it could be time; it could be a product – as in the Author Shark has a product that he or she sells all day for $897 and it’s yours, free; it could be the joint venture creation of a product that features the author and his or her book—that is blasted to mega thousands to buy; it could be printing reduction; it could be a book cover; it could be a discount on a layout; it could be … What it could be will be solely dependent on YOU and YOUR PITCH to hook them and could be worth many thousands of dollars. Or if you bomb, you may only end up with a shark tooth! To enter the tank, there’s a fee.
Last year, participants came away with many thousands of dollars.
Author Shark Tank participants are identified on a first-come, first-serve basis. You will get pre-conference coaching from Judith Briles prior to entering the Tank.
Save the date – get it on your calendar. And if you want a guaranteed spot in the Author Shark Tank, swim forward and let us know!

I’m ready to start swimming … add me in!

How You Can “Create a Thunder” to Sell Your Book
After spending a year working on my book, I proudly held the physical proof in my hand. As I began planning the official book launch, I was introduced to a cool online marketing tool that helped me achieve a broader reach – broader than I could have ever imagined.
This cost-effective marketing tool helps you “create a thunder” as your announcement travels across social networks. It resulted in my book having a social reach of more than 1.4 million viewers and ranking in Amazon’s Top 10.
The good news? You can do this too when launching your book!
- Create a buzz around your book before it launches.
- Amplify your message across social media.
- Build your social reach without asking your network to dip into their wallets.
- Launch a thunderous online campaign in 3 simple steps.
- Design an attention-grabbing graphics even if you’re not an artist.

IN-PERSON, Judith and Bobby will be working with you over your shoulders in her offices. ONLINE, we will view your screens. It’s a different program. As one attendee said the last time we did it in my conference room, “This is the most work fun I’ve had in a long time.”
Get ready to tap dance through Animoto—a terrific tool to use to create a teaser for your book; to create a video billboard for your expertise; to satisfy the SEO hunger for “feed me MORE!”
This is a “working” workshop—ahead of the start—have a folder with images that tie into your book or expertise; posters you’ve made; key slogans or taglines; key phrases; your photo … what else? Register for the free version on the website: https://animoto.com/ … the odds are you will want to move from free to fee. Our goal is that you will have an Animoto that you can use going forward.
We will open the door to creativity plus outcome. Perfect.
You want to be participating on your computer—not the mobile or tablet.
LOCATION: Judith’s offices and ONLINE your computer beginning at 1 pm MT
For IN-PESON, you must bring your laptop.
COST: $35 members $55 nonmembers – increases $20 on March 3 midnight
