\"Why<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

You send an email pitch to a freelance writer who writes about the same topic as your new book. He tells you he’s interested and asks you to send the PDF version along with your digital Media Kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’re elated<\/strong> and can hardly wait to read the article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But he’s working from home, where his two toddlers are out of control<\/strong> and chasing the dog around the living room. He needs a very short bio of you, looks inside your Media Kit and sees one bio that’s 400 words. He starts cutting and pasting phrases into his Word document but stops when one of the kids knocks a vase off the coffee table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On deadline with the article, he abandons the idea of including your bio<\/strong> and files the story with his editor. He mentions your book but offers no additional information<\/strong> about you or your area of expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ve just blown an opportunity to let thousands of readers know that you’re not only an author, but a speaker and consultant. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t Let This Happen to You<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Make it easy for journalists, bloggers and others to promote your book—even on deadline. Include four bios of different sizes<\/strong> inside your Author Media Kit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
