Electronic Press Kit
An Electronic Press Kit is essentially a collection of digital documents (most commonly PDF files) which are packaged together and made available to download from a website, and send out via email. As part of your Titanium Combo-Publishing Package, Empire Publishing will create an Electronic Press Kit for you. A press kit makes it easier for media outlets to gather quickly and efficiently the information about your book, and about the author.
What is in the Press Kit
The specific types of documents you should include in your media kit will vary slightly depending on what kind of professional you are. Media kits are useful to everyone from musicians to artists, but as an author you will need to include the items listed below. We ask that you supply us with as much information as possible to create your Media Kit.
Author Biography
This should be written in third person and maintain a professional tone throughout. Don’t let it drone on any longer than a single page and be sure to include a headshot to go with it.
Free Chapter of Your Book
