Do It Yourself Book Publicity:

Media Lists for Your Book

Getting media lists is easy—there are many companies who sell them—but getting one precisely customized for you and your book to give you the best opportunity for media coverage is key.

Utilizing the experience gained over 12 years and 900 book promotion campaigns, Smith Publicity creates the finest media lists in the industry. As a central point of all of our campaigns, every day our publicists research and compile scores of media lists. Now, self-promoting authors or anyone attempting to secure media coverage can get the same lists our nationally-recognized publicists use.

Smith Publicity uses an industry-leading media database, which is updated every day. We will provide you with the best, most up-to-date media contacts available, all selected based on the topic and genre of your book from more than 1.4 million media contacts, media outlets, bloggers and analysts. Despite offers you may see boasting thousands and thousands of media contacts, in publicity it’s quality, not quantity that matters.

Here’s how it works:

·         You fill out a brief questionnaire.

·         One of our experienced publicists reviews your information and conducts careful research to develop appropriate media lists which include radio, TV, magazine, newspaper and Internet producers, editors, freelancers and bloggers.

·         You receive a minimum of 500 media contacts, possibly many more, depending on your book, as well as local media contacts in your geographic area.

·         We e-mail you the list in both Microsoft Excel and label format.

·         Included in your list is name, title phone number, e-mail, fax number, and full mailing address.

Examples

The Gardener

·         An author requires media lists to promote a book on gardening

·         We research and identify editors or producers who cover gardening

·         The author receives a pinpoint list of 600 media contacts including just a few radio show producers, a handful of TV producers, and a few hundred newspaper and magazine editors who cover gardening

The Self Help Expert

·         The author of self-help book with potential mass appeal requires media lists

·         We research and compile a list of media which typically show interest or cover self-help topics

·         The author receives a list which includes over 1000 radio talk show producers,  100 TV shows, and 1500 editors at magazines and newspapers who cover self-help topics

Again, quality is what matters, not quantity.
