Tip No. 7

The Press Kit

If you have saved money by self-publishing your book, you will want to spend a bit of money on a press kit. A press kit is a promotional tool distributed to media to entice them to review your book, interview you, or feature your work in a publication. Think of a press kit as your own personal public relations representative.

Some key elements of a press kit you would want to include are an personal bio, a synopsis of your book, a press release, and a sell sheet. All should be presented both concisely and attractively. The press kit is the author's multi-page resume or portfolio meant to display you and your work's most shining accolades.

You will receive 10 copies each of a formatted one-page author bio, press release, synopsis, sell sheet all enclosed in a Mill City Press heavy stock folder for distribution.
