Local PR Toolkit was created by longtime publicists, publishing and media professionals to equip self-published authors with the professional tools and training they need to become their own publicist.
Our team consists of longtime non-fiction and fiction book publicists, who have worked with some of the world’s largest publishing houses and media.Fox News, the Today Show, the New York Times, Oprah, 60 Minutes, Good Morning America, you name it, we’ve done it.And former television and radio producers, reporters and book marketing professionals who have worked with the industry’s largest publishing houses and authors. Three members of our team have written books themselves (in fact, one of them has written seventeen!). Our media training team of former broadcast journalists has brought home over three dozen Emmy awards. I.e., this ain’t our first rodeo.
As a self-published author, it probably feels sometimes like you really only have two choices. You'll either do no publicity at all or you'll spend thousands of dollars on a publicist. And even that's no guarantee. Well, it's not true. You have a third choice. You can become a publicist yourself.
