TRADITIONAL MEDIA OUTREACH
As important as it is to have a killer website, an active social media presence,
and visible listing on Amazon, sometimes it takes tried and true traditional marketing
techniques to get the job done. However, when dealing with more old school media
outlets, the old school rules apply. You need to know how to talk the talk and walk
the walk of traditional publishing to even get a second look. Whether you just need
a professionally drafted media kit to distribute on your own or a publicist to reach
out to the media for you, our traditional media outreach programs have you covered.
BASIC TRADITIONAL MEDIA OUTREACH
Basic Traditional Media Outreach Program Includes:
- A press release announcing your book's release
- A pitch letter designed to accompany any physical books you send out
- An industry standard sellsheet - the document booksellers request when considering
a book for sale in their stores
- All files provided to author in .doc and .pdf formats for distribution

But what if you don’t know who to contact? At the intermediate level, our Traditional
Media Outreach Program provides you with a list of 50 media contacts customized
for your book's audience, in addition to all of the press materials included at
the basic level. It's still in the author's hands to reach out to the editors, television
and radio producers, and book reviewers included on the list, but we provide you
with all the tools necessary to essentially be your own publicist.
Don’t have the time to pitch your book to members of the media yourself? At the
most comprehensive level, the Traditional Media Outreach Program includes all the
press kit materials from the basic level, the 50 media contacts from the intermediate
level, plus one of our publicists sending a personalized email pitch to each one
of the media contacts we choose for you. We’ll follow up with any interested parties
and coordinate with the author to set up author interviews, book reviews, or any
other applicable coverage. The comprehensive level also includes the distribution
of your press release through PRWeb, getting it in front of thousands of media professionals.
