Publicity has always been important for authors. Mark Twain promoted his books by writing letters to the paper, and even Agatha Christie, who was known for being very private, still did interviews with prominent newspapers.
Yet some authors think this kind of publicity is old-fashioned. In a world dominated by social media, do we even need traditional PR anymore?
If you've ever wondered how to get your book featured in the media—or whether it's even worth trying—you won’t want to miss this episode of Novel Marketing.
In this week’s episode, you’ll hear from veteran publicist Marika Flatt from PR by the Book to talk about:
- Whether or not traditional media still matters
- The difference between earned media, paid media, and everything in between
- What mistakes to avoid when giving interviews
- The surprising way Good Morning America and Joe Rogan differ when it comes to book sales
Whether you’re ready to hire a PR firm or just want to understand how media can help spread the word about your book, listen in or read the blog version of this episode.
