Acapella Publishing's site will guide you from the time a concept for a book is born through the successful publication and marketing of it. Dorothy Thompson's the Writer's Life
Sites That Disseminate Media Releases, Some FREE, Some Affordable This list is reproduced from The Frugal Book Promoter and was updated on 3/06/07 Many of these sites offer tutorials in writing media releases. You will also find step-by-step (right down to the font and spacing!) directions for writing a release in The Frugal Book Promoter: How to Do What Your Publisher Won't. Be aware that many of these sites require your address to login and many of those will not accept PO Boxes. Almost all require a phone number. http://www.i-newswire.com/submit_free.php http://www.press-base.com/add-press.html (Requires company phone listing.) http://www.pressbox.co.uk/cgi-bin/links/add.cgi (Lets you preview your release.) http://www.news.eboomwebsolutions.com/addnews.php http://free-news-release.com/Submit.aspx http://www.free-press-release.com/submit/free-press-release.php (Active e-mail address permitted for paid accounts only.) https://www.pr.com/info_press_item.php (Don't bother to enter image if you don't intend to upgrade your submission.) www.press.arrivenet.com (Extensive signin required and you'll need to wait for your e-mail confirmation.) www.pressmethod.com (Difficult to sign on and if you don't upgrade the service, your release doesn't get much distribution, including submission to Google.) www.prleap.com (One of the easiest to negotiate but requires your phone number.) www.prweb.com (As nearly as I can tell, this site no longer offers free service.) www.webwire.com (If you are submitting a release for a minor event and only want the free service, you may have time getting it for free!) http://www.24-7pressrelease.com/ (Bills itself as "affordable." I could find no free option.) http://ebookbroadcast.com/submit.shtml (Closed for renovation on 3/6/07.)
sites.http://www.epressreleases.org/index.htm
(One of the easiest sites to use.)
http://www.prnuke.com/ (This site
feels as if you can post articles as well as media releases and is a
bit hard to get signed up on. It is relatively easier after you've
once collected your password.)
http://www.theopenpress.com/index.php?a=book
(Registration not available because of a hacker. The site may be
back up soon. Information entered 3/7/07.)
http://www.fastpitch.com (I liked that those who post can choose some of the media outlets they provide. That his requires an upgrade may well be worth it for a major, truly newsworthy event.) Some of the above sites were suggested by Kristie Leigh Maguire, publisher of Star Publish.
Sites That Disseminate Content (Articles) for the Use of the Media Also Called Content Providers Letting your articles, essays, humor and more work for you rather than moldering in a drawer can be good business for an author. Here are some sites that cater to those with a need for content. The author supplies the article complete with byline and a tagline that includes a pitch and web address and an editor searching for just such an article may use it. Each works in a slightly different way so you'll want to explore them to see where your material fits best. Alumbo!, http://www.alumbo.com Article Alley, http://www.articlealley.com Article City, http://www.articlecity.com Article Marketer, http://www.articlemarketer.com Article Corners, http://www.articlecorners.com Associated Content (A paying content provider) http://www.associatedcontent.com Ezine Articles, http://www.ezinearticles.com Go Articles, http://www.goarticles.com Zino's, http://zinos.com |
