Creating a Press Release to Promote Your Book



You will need multiple versions of a press release throughout your marketing  plan. You can either hire someone to write one or you can write one yourself. Or hire a PR coach for the whole process.

Here are the steps you need to write one for any occasion you may want to promote.

1. Find an angle for an interesting Headline.

2. Present the basic facts of your event or book in the first paragraph. Answer the Who, What, When, Where and Why.

3. In the second paragraph present facts that support your headline angle.

4. In the third paragraph present a quote that elaborates on the basic facts in paragraph 2.

5. In paragraph 4 elaborate on the facts in paragraph 3 using another quote, biography information, or historical data.

6. End with details on how to purchase, attend, contact and any other detail that calls for action. Don't forget the website and blog!!

will help all of your efforts be more effective in the long run because you will have a
