Book Publishing Tips of the Day
Daily words of wisdom from Tami DePalma and other publishing industry experts. Throughout the month of May we'll feature tips on taking full advantage of the BookExpo America trade show. Today's Tip from DePalma: "Give Your Media Kit Dimension."
MARKETING TIP OF THE DAYTHEME: MEDIA KIT DESIGN
Give your media kit dimension! Fold some sheets in half the long way, others in half the short way. Let them see some of each piece at one glance. On your media kit folder, place a catchy label or even your book cover to the front for a quick visual boost, and to increase your repetition factor.
