#Publicity#KeepItBrief

I have noticed that when people send me their news releases for review, they ramble on and on.   It's verbal diarrhea - mostly about themselves. A news release is not the place for an author to talk about himself/herself. A news release is about NEWS.

We stress in our Ultimate Book Marketing Kit that a news release must be brief and very strong, using bulletted points to clearly state the benefits of the author's book. 

I don't know how to say it more clearly than in already states in the Kit: keep it simple. 

Make a list of the three most critical points in your book and let the media know how those points are important information for their audience. Show the media how you have a relevant story that will inform or solve a problem for the audience.

Our clients can send us their news releases for a critique - free.
