If you’re going to New York City next week for the BookExpo America <\/a>convention, don’t miss Steve Harrison’s media panel on Saturday. I’ll be there.<\/p>\n

I attended this last year when it was part of the convention, and it was one of the highlights of my trip. A panel of top-tier print and broadcast journalists offered their best tips on how authors should pitch journalists. Then a few brave authors were chosen from the audience to pitch the panel in front of a room full of people. The journalists gave thumbs up or thumbs down, then critiqued the pitches. <\/p>\n

This year, the panel will be nearby at a smaller publicity seminar at Marquis Ballroom at Marriott New York Marquis Hotel, a 7-minute\/$4 cab ride from the Javits Center.<\/p>\n

Journalists include:<\/p>\n

–Amy Salit, National Public Radio\u2019s “Fresh Air” with Terry Gross
\n–Jess Todfelt, Fox News Channel (Really nice guy)
\n–Stephanie Siegel, CNN
\n–Betsy Goldman, MSNBC
\n–Stacy Rollins, “Montel Williams” Show<\/p>\n

The $19 you’ll pay to get in will be well worth it. But don’t go expecting some private time with the media folks. <\/strong>After last year’s session, a mad rush of authors descended on their table and it was bedlam. Sign up <\/a>before it’s sold out. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
