A question about publicity materials

Hi everyone,

When publicity materials are requested...what do you send... interviews, newspaper clippings, a flyer about your book? And how many of the items do you send each, one or many? Thanks!

When you say "publicity materials" do you mean a press/media kit? If so, they probably want a press release, mock book review, author bio, an article etc. If you need help creating this stuff, I'd recommend the book Putting It On Paper: The Ground Rules for Creating Promotional Materials that Sell Books by Dawn Josephson. She explains how to create a good press kit and you should be able to do it all yourself.

I guess I should give the disclaimer that Dawn is a friend of mine and I do some contract work for Cameo Publications. That said, check out the reviews on Amazon...it's a great book.

Good luck,
