We teamed up with publicity expert Joan Stewart, aka The Publicity Hound, a former newspaper editor, to create a bundle of Author Media Kit templates that that wow journalists, bloggers, reviewers, agents, audience members, buyers---even big publishers. Best of all, you don't have to be a techie to use them. If you can type, you're good to go. The package includes a 62-page guidebook that walks you step by step through the process of creating your Author Media Kit. You'll get 15 Media Kit templates and assorted photo templates. Spend several weeks researching and creating your Media Kit. Or finish the entire project in a day or two with our templates. Just remove the instructional text and add your own.

In this Complete Toolkit You Will Find...

  • 15 Easy-to-use Templates

    All are designed to make it drop-dead easy for you to create every important marketing piece that will help you sell your books. You’ll learn how to write your author bio, book synopsis and other summaries that journalists can cut and paste. And you’ll receive Joan’s expert guidance on how to create materials that will appeal to book store owners, book buyers and meeting planners who can hire you to speak.

  • Instructions for Photos

    Photos are an integral part of your Author Media Kit, but many authors make the mistake of not including enough of them, or the right kinds of photos. Our guide includes a list of the four types of photos to include in your Media Kit, and a description of optional photos. We give step-by-step instructions on how to create your photos at the correct resolutions for print or the web.

  • A Comprehensive Guide

    You’ll start by reading our guide that explains what a Media Kit is, how to use it, what goes into it, and how to turn the Word documents you will create into PDFs. The guide also includes helpful samples of every template so you can see what each element of your kit is supposed to look like when you’re done. You never need to guess or worry that you’re missing something important.

Attract the Attention Your Book Deserves


Our Media Kit Templates include everything you need to know about creating the major marketing package for your book, from start to finish. We cover all the bases, from press releases and your four author bios to everything you need to know about asking for book reviews, and featuring the excerpts in your Media Kit.

What this Toolkit Can Do for You...

1. They will remove the guesswork, the stress and the hours of research. You can spend days trying to figure out what pieces you must include in your kit, and which are optional. Then you can spend another several weeks writing them on your own and wondering if you've done it correctly. Our templates shave weeks off the chore.

2. They include the all-important templates and instructions for your author and book photos. The correct types of photos, in the correct sizes, make it easy for journalists to cover you because they have what they need right in front of them. They don't have to waste time asking for it or giving you instructions or explaining technical details.

3. It will show journalists you know exactly what they need. Joan knows exactly what editors, reporters, freelancers and book reviewers expect to find inside your kit. The Media Kit templates are designed so that busy journalists can "cut and paste" what you've written and insert it right into their stories, if necessary.

4. They work for authors who write fiction or nonfiction--and the templates are perfect for all genres. That includes poetry books, picture books and memoirs.

5. It gives you an unfair advantage. While other authors are struggling to create their Author Media Kits, you're breezing through the templates and following Joan's simple instructions. She tells you the correct order to write specific paragraphs of information but leaves you free to write in your own voice.
