Media Kit

One of the most vital items an author must have in hardcopy and online is a media kit. It contains all the information in one place that a media representative will need when preparing an interview or writing a story. A full media kit will include at least:

•   An author bio •   Author photo(s) •   Book cover photo •   Fact sheet on book including the title, author, publication date, ISBN, number of pages, retail availability, testimonials •   Press release(s) •   The three major message points in your book •   At least ten questions the author is prepared to answer in an interview (with the answers) •   Clippings from previous media interviews/articles

Plan to make this media kit available before publication. The media won’t wait until you’ve had a chance to put this together, so if it isn’t completed beforehand, they will go to the next story.
