First let's assume your media kit is electronic i.e. on your author website (If you don't have a website, you should strongly consider getting one) and you're contemplating a media resources section or a "press room". What should you have there? What are the key things you need? Here's what we recommend:
- Downloadable Cover Art
- Author Bio
- Fact Sheet or Sell Sheet - states the facts about the book (title, author, publisher, number of pages, ISBN, pub. date, and price), ordering information, and has a brief synopsis of the book
- Book Milestones - Awards, accolades, book clubs, sales numbers, or anything that highlights a notable success
- FAQs
- News Release
- Pitches or "News Pegs" - provide possible "angles" or "hooks" for a story
- Book Testimonials and/or Endorsements
- Table of Contents
- Sample Chapter
- Interview Clips
- Media Articles
- Contact Information/Email
