Authors and books love  … love publicity. Are You Getting Your Share?

And, is it the right publicity at the right time? AuthorU’s March Saturday Mornings will be like an onion … each layer will reveal new ahas, tips and the secret sauce to connect with print, radio and TV that could create a tipping point for your and your book.

Led by Rocky Mountain’s PBS Executive Producer and Colorado Matter’s host Cynthia Hessin, get ready to flip what you are doing to propel your publicity forward. Additional members of the Colorado community will be joining Cynthia from print and radio.

  • Does being on and in the media work for a book? For the author … or is it a waste of time?
  • What publicity should you be seeking?
  • How should you pitch “you”?
  • What type of follow is acceptable and what should be avoided?
  • What materials do you need and what are unnecessary?

Our morning session is dedicated for a Panel of local media pros (TV, radio and print). You will connect, get tips and tricks on how to reach out and connect for you and your book. Cynthia Hessin and Susan Gatschet will open your eyes and your ears.

Chnthia has also earned seven regional Emmy awards from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) for writing, producing and performance. In 2013 she was also admitted to the NATAS Silver Circle, an honor society which recognizes broadcast professionals who have worked in the industry for 25 years and have made substantial contributions to both their craft and their community.

Susan Gatschet started volunteering at KUVO radio in 1996 and quickly gained a spot on the airwaves. Wearing a few hats, one is that she books guests for various spots of KUVO and she hosts Take Note, offering a richly diverse listening experience weekdays from 1-4 pm.
