The best way to start creating media awareness for your book is to reach out locally says marketing and communications consultant Nicole Baker. Start with your local newspapers, radio stations, and television programs. But before approaching these media outlets make sure you understand how your book or platform is relevant. Does your nonfiction book solve a problem? Does your fiction novel relate to a hot topic in the news? Answering these questions will help you narrow down which media outlets make the most sense to pursue. Baker also recommends utilizing resources such as HARO (Help a Reporter Out) to see what topics the media is currently looking to cover.&nbsp;</p> </div> <div class="asl-wikipage-media"> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-01-31/The-Best-Approach-for-Gaining-Local-Media-Attention-for-New-Authors.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../The-Best-Approach-for-Gaining-Local-Media-Attention-for-New-Authors.mp4</a></p> </div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, Subscriber, video</div>
