Book Press Release Generator
A media-ready press release for your launch
A press release is how you announce your book to media in a form they can use. It follows a standard shape, and getting that shape right is the difference between being read and being deleted. Describe your book and get a release you can send to bloggers, local press and podcasts.
What is a book press release?
It is a one-page announcement written in the format newsrooms expect: a headline, a dateline, a lead paragraph that answers the basic questions, a supporting paragraph, a quote from the author, and a short boilerplate about you. Its job is to give a journalist a story they can run with minimal work.
What makes a book newsworthy?
A book alone is rarely news; an angle is. A local author, a timely topic, an unusual backstory, a milestone, or a tie to something already in the headlines gives a journalist a reason to care. Lead with the angle, not the fact that a book exists.
Who should I send it to?
Start local and niche: your regional paper, genre bloggers, podcasts in your subject area, and newsletters your readers already follow. A personal note to a niche outlet beats a mass blast to national desks that will never open it.
