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.
- Get Ready to Create the Press Release Every Author Needs for Promo! Bring your questions … there is a live Q&A within the webinar.
- Many listened into the superb free webinar Joan Stewart on how to create an off-the-charts media kit. Are you ready to now listen in to learn the step-by-step process to create an off-the-charts press release?
- One of the most difficult tasks in a book launch is writing the press release for you book.
- It can’t sound like a free commercial that screams “Buy My Book!”
- It must be interesting.
- It must communicate clearly and concisely the target audience for your book and what they will learn, feel or experience when they read it.
Get ready to be the “piper” to lead buyers to you and your book!
Joan Stewart, aka The Publicity Hound a former newspaper editor, will walk you step by step through two press releases–one for fiction and one for nonfiction.

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.

Judith knows publishing inside and out from both the traditional and independent sides. She is an advocate for authors within her blogs, podcasts and speaking engagements. What’s her pet peeve? Two words: publishing predators.
Post your questions as soon as you come on … Judith will come to you LIVE and bring you on the mic to respond to YOU and possibly ask additional questions. This is a NO PowerPoint presentation. Depending on the question, Judith may go to her website or the Internet to reveal part of the answer.
Join me on Thursday, January 21, starting at 4 pm Mountain time.
PS It’s a FULL 90 minutes to hone in your 2021 vision for author and publishing success (or deal with the 2020 leftovers!).
PSS If you register and you are a NON member of AuthorYOU.org, you will be invoiced $25 to participate.

Wednesday, March 8th
1 pm to 3.30 pm MT, Noon PT, 2 pm CT, 3 pm ET
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.
