be your own publicist.
Press kits, media lists and consultations, specifically for Christian authors.
-
As a Christian author, you've really only had two choices: doing no publicity at all or spending thousands on a publicist, who may or may not work with Christian media or even be a Christian.
Well, finally, there's a third.
A PR TOOLKIT BUILT
FOR CHRISTIAN AUTHORS
BY CHRISTIAN PUBLICISTS
What you’re getting here is a suite of tools and resources—created by longtime publicists, publishing and media professionals in the faith-based publishing and media space—that will equip you with the professional and custom-built PR tools and training you need to finally, and effectively, do your own publicity work.
Our stellar team consists of longtime publicists, who are believers themselves and have worked for years with the world’s largest Christian publishers and media.
No more radio silence.
No more thousands spent.
No more fingers crossed.
So, what makes more sense?
Hiring a publicist (if you can find one) and paying thousands of dollars
every time you write a book? Or making a small, one-time investment in your career as a writer and learning to do the work yourself?
No one is going to know your message better,
care more or work harder than you.
All you need are the tools.

F.A.Q.
No. And no reputable publicist would. It’s all a matter of timing, preparation and persistence. If a journalist consistently receives relevant information, in a timely manner, from a credentialed source, with a unique perspective … in all likelihood, coverage will eventually happen. No guarantees, but we want to equip you to be able to provide those things, so that you’ll have the best possible opportunity. Once you have the tools and the training, how hard and effectively you work is up to you. But that’s the beauty of it, right? You know your publicist is working for you, 24/7. Not something you’d ever know, otherwise. And you’d be out several thousand dollars, to boot.
Absolutely! It will be built a little differently, as publicity for fiction authors is oftentimes focused a bit more on the literary community, reviewers, etc. A fiction author’s kit would consist of a list of media contacts that will include locals, but also prominent (and genre-specific, as much as possible) book reviewers and online influeners, such as podcasters, Bookstagrammers and bloggers.
Ideally, thirty days. It takes time for you to provide us with the information we need to build the press kit. To match up our calendars and conduct the consult calls. To do the research necessary to build your media list. It’s possible that it could take longer, depending on the author’s availability and where they are in our queue. But, 30 days is what we’ll be shooting for.
Each purchaser/member of the Local PR Toolkit community will have two separate one-hour consult calls with a member of our team, to review the press kit, media list, brainstorm pitch angles and ask any other questions they’d like. They’ll also have access to our online community, where other authors may be able to help and where we’ll also be answering our members’ questions publicly, to the benefit of all. Beyond that, should you still need to touch base, absolutely. We’d be glad to spend a few minutes with you. We’re here to serve!
