Build Your Media Kit Presented by SLPA Board Member Kerri Holloway Join the St. Louis Publishers Association on February 12 and learn how to “Build Your Media Kit”, presented by SLPA Board Member Kerri Holloway. Your media kit is an essential – and valuable – part of your writer’s toolbox. It should have key items that answer questions about your work as an author (e.g. Who, What, When, Where, Why, How). Having your media kit readily available eliminates the stress of rushing to pull information together in response to requests from the media, bloggers, book reviewers, podcast hosts, bookstores, or anyone else who is interested in learning more about you and your book.
Bring your current author bio and book synopsis (including word counts). After reviewing the contents for your media kit, we will spend the latter half of the meeting practicing how to condense your bio and synopsis into smaller segments. Kerri Holloway is a freelance editor and copywriter with over 20 years’ experience helping authors, nonprofits, small business owners, and Christian ministries. As the principal of Successful Improvements, she is committed to helping people share their story and specializes in transforming ideas into a polished and effective message.

Just like a Swiss Army Knife has multiple parts in a user-friendly design, your media kit will be an effective and convenient way for others to pull what they need in preparation for interviews, articles, events, sales promotions, and more.
