Build Your Media Kit

Build Your Media Kit

Presented by SLPA Board Member Kerri Holloway

Join the St. Louis Publishers Association on February 12 and learn how to “Build Your Media Kit”, presented by SLPA Board Member Kerri Holloway. Your media kit is an essential – and valuable – part of your writer’s toolbox. It should have key items that answer questions about your work as an author (e.g. Who, What, When, Where, Why, How). Having your media kit readily available eliminates the stress of rushing to pull information together in response to requests from the media, bloggers, book reviewers, podcast hosts, bookstores, or anyone else who is interested in learning more about you and your book.

Just like a Swiss Army Knife has multiple parts in a user-friendly design, your media kit will be an effective and convenient way for others to pull what they need in preparation for interviews, articles, events, sales promotions, and more.

Bring your current author bio and book synopsis (including word counts). After reviewing the contents for your media kit, we will spend the latter half of the meeting practicing how to condense your bio and synopsis into smaller segments.
