Author Publicity Kit Items
If you're a new author that has been requested to send publicist materials,
you may feel left in the dark on what to send. Here's a list of the usual items.
1. Author Bio This is no place for modesty.
You're competing with many other authors out there and need to show
how your hot and worth it. Remember to include your accomplishments
and give a little background information. Often readers want to know
about the author's interests...
2. A photo This is optional, but if you want
to get your face out there, this could help. Keep in mind that not every
editor will use your photo.
3. Interviews Any newspaper/magazine
clippings may be include if it's related to you and your writing, awards
and accomplishments. Clippings about your personal life may bore the
editor requesting your materials.
4. Reviews If you have any reviews for
your latest release, have them printed on clear 8.5 X 11 paper and
include them in your kit.
5. Promotional Items It may also be
requested that you send any promotional items. Examples would be:
Posters, pens with your web address, buttons, bookmarks,etc...
As time goes on, you'll expand your PR kit. A great idea is to have a press kit right on your website to save editors time and money. You may want to have all your current materials in one easy to download PDF file. Each time you have something new to add update the file.
poetryREpairs.com invites essays on any/all things related to poetry.
