What’s in YOUR Media Kit? How Have You Used It? [Discussion]

We’re all about media kits this week! Yesterday, we shared what you should include in your media kit, including:

• Book summary/pitch
• Book Excerpt
• Author Biography
• Author Q&A
• Book Purchasing Options
• Author Contact Information
• Author Head Shot
• Book Cover
• Book Reviews
• Book List
• Past/Upcoming Events
• Marketing Strategy

As well as a few design tips for making it look professional. Now, however, we want to hear from you!

Discussion Questions

• What do you include in your media kit? How did you decide which items to put in?
• Where/how have you distributed your media kit? Can you share any ideas for other authors wondering what to do with theirs?
• How often do you update your media kit? What seems to change most often?
• If you host a blog/media outlet, which media kit item is most important to you? Is there a particular piece you’d like to see more authors include?
• Please post a link to your media kit, if you feel comfortable! We’d love to see it

Please take a few moments to discuss the above with fellow indie authors and readers in the comments. Plus, be sure to come back tomorrow for Shannon’s insight on media kits!
