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.  

1. Get Ready to Create the Press Release Every Author Needs for Promo! Bring your questions … there is a live Q&A within the webinar.
2. 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? 
3. 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. You’ll learn not only how to write it, but how to use it in your publicity campaign.

  Judith Briles, The Book Shepherd and book publishing expert, will be your moderator.

1. Date and Time:  Wednesday, July 20th at 5 PM Mountain (4 PT, 6 CT, 7 ET)
