Press Materials

Effective and professional press materials are key to the success of your book's promotional campaign. But it's not easy to develop and distribute press materials that will grab the attention of the media and tell them everything they need to know about your book.

Let the professionals at iUniverse do the work for you! After you complete a questionnaire about your book, our publicists will use your answers to create intriguing press materials and distribute them over three major wire services (PR.com, PRLog.com and PressMethod.com) to gain maximum exposure for you and your book.

Your press materials will include:

Hook. The hook is the unique selling point that separates your book from its competitors. Think of the hook as a 30-second summary that piques the media's interest.

Cover Letter. The cover-letter template is a one-page letter that you customize with the contact's name and information. It should be used in conjunction with the press release when pitching the media via fax, mail, or e-mail.

Press Release. The press release is a one-page summary of the book. It provides the media with more information regarding why they should write an article about your book or why they should have you as a guest on their program.

Process:

  1. Download the following file(s):
  2. Sign the contract and return it by fax (812-355-4078) or by postal mail, to the address below:
