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.
