| No problem, the list is current as of yesterday. Great way send out announcements of anything related to your books or writing that is news worthy. Also a great way to get backlinks if you are into SEO and the like. |

| Just thought I would let everyone know I've updated the list. It is current as of yesterday. Remember, you can use press releases for more then just announcing your book - book signings, speaking events, anything newsworthy really.

| I'm very new to all of this. How do I make a press release? What information do I need to put into it? What are your tips? |

| The rules for press releases remain the same: Contact Information and date
The words, FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Then answer in this order: Who? What? When? Where?
Add a statement that makes this event unique and critical for the press to print - tie to local color, local celebrity, local charity, something to get the release noticed.
Be as brief as possible. Say it how you would like to see it printed - they will likely change it, usually shorten it. Sometimes local press will print as is.
I always attach some pictures that would go well with the article just in case; high end papers don't want attachment; locals usually print the pictures on a slow news day. |

| I don't know how well she does selling books, but http://www.delialatham.net/presskit.htm has it together for a web site and for marketing materials. Careful - she also sells marketing materials. I just recommend her site as a good press kit example. She was always very helpful to other authors also. I haven't exchanged posts with her in quite a while. |
