When it comes to book publicity, "The Today Show," Good Housekeeping, and NPR all sound impressive, but being on ABC7 might sell more copies. That’s because the best PR comes down to goals: Why do you want publicity? Is it about selling books or being read? For self-published or small press authors, your goal might even be to attract an agent for the next book. Everybody's desired outcome is different, so your approach to PR should be too. In this session, pinpoint your goals and learn easy steps you can take to promote your title accordingly.
