THE IMPORTANCE OF A MEDIA KIT

Distributors and review publications give preference to books submitted with a media kit. A media kit should contain (1) Information about the author (2) Synopsis of the book (3) Information page including cost, number of pages, ISBN, etc. (4) Reviews of the book from other sources. The pages should be contained in a folder so they will not get separated.
