Publicity opportunities can include media interviews, book reviews, op-ed pieces, and more. W Publishing Group Publicity Manager Elizabeth Hawkins starts paving the way for her authors&#39; books with a publicity campaign at least six months to a year in advance of release. She believes in planting the seeds early so that when the book is released there is already a lot of awareness and buzz. She starts by finding placements and opportunities with the media and with trade reviews, while also using the network and connections of the author.<br /><br />If you are uncomfortable with reaching out for these types of opportunities on your own, or, you need assistance with finding opportunities, a publicist can make the contacts and inquiries for you. You can hire a PR firm or agency, work through your publisher, or hire a freelance publicist. Strategizing a publicity campaign well in advance of release is important to the overall success of the book.<br /><br /></p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-01-45/GettingStartedonaBookPublicityCampaignandWaystoGetAssistance.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../GettingStartedonaBookPublicityCampaignandWaystoGetAssistance.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, video</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/marketing/public-relations/w/publicity-campaigns/8337/getting-started-on-a-book-publicity-campaign-and-ways-to-get-assistance/revision/3Fri, 02 Feb 2024 20:21:56 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:7df49f11-37fd-4d19-8a80-27cc64533c7cElizabeth Hawkinshttps://www.authorlearningcenter.com/marketing/public-relations/w/publicity-campaigns/8337/getting-started-on-a-book-publicity-campaign-and-ways-to-get-assistance#commentsRevision 3 posted to Publicity Campaigns by Elizabeth Hawkins on 2/2/2024 8:21:56 PM<br /> <p><br />Garnering publicity for a book is an essential part of any book marketing plan.

As a Publicity Manager with W Publishing Group, a commercial nonfiction imprint of Thomas Nelson, Elizabeth Hawkins begins garnering media and publicity opportunities for an author once their manuscript has completed a first pass with the editing department. She works to partner with trade such as Publisher&#39;s Weekly, submits for early reviews and early buys, and follows the book through launch, securing media placements. She continues strategizing efforts to give the book the best chance possible of being successful.</p> <p>W Publishing Group partners with authors of trade and nonfiction books including faith-based, general interest, sports, and more. All of the books they publish have an inspirational message.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-01-45/TheRoleofaPublicityManagerinaTraditionalPublishingHouse.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../TheRoleofaPublicityManagerinaTraditionalPublishingHouse.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: Christian Books & Bibles, fiction, Nonfiction, Religion & Spiritual, biographies & memoirs, video</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/marketing/public-relations/w/publicity-campaigns/8337/getting-started-on-a-book-publicity-campaign-and-ways-to-get-assistance/revision/1Wed, 31 Jan 2024 15:59:08 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:7df49f11-37fd-4d19-8a80-27cc64533c7cElizabeth Hawkinshttps://www.authorlearningcenter.com/marketing/public-relations/w/publicity-campaigns/8337/getting-started-on-a-book-publicity-campaign-and-ways-to-get-assistance#commentsRevision 1 posted to Publicity Campaigns by Elizabeth Hawkins on 1/31/2024 3:59:08 PM<br /> <p><br />W Publishing Group Publicity Manager Elizabeth Hawkins explains what a typical publicity campaign looks like for her authors.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
