What could you be collecting for your writing projects that will help to sell and market them?
After you have written a book, the plans for promotion go into effect. It is an entirely different type of energy from
writing. In many ways it is more difficult. Now you have to take hundreds of pages and distill them into a one-page
press release, a set of possible interview questions, an author's bio, and a fact sheet. You have to think about, of
all you have written, what will be most timely and effective for interesting people in your subject matter.
Although publishing companies have publicists who design these media kits, anything you can offer helps to hone the material into what will truly represent what you believe is important about the book. So in the writing-on-the-run manner, we jot notes and collect ideas all through the writing process. When it is time for designing promotional material and deciding whom to contact about the book, we have a full file of ideas and statistics we have gathered.
