I apologize in advance if this has been covered somewhere, but I can't seem to find anything on this. Does anyone know if there is an "acceptable" time-frame to contact local newspapers after the publication of your book?
I released my first book in August of last year, and my second in December. I never contacted local papers because, absurdly, it just never occurred to me. Now, however, I am looking ahead to the release of my third book in August. I would like to plan some kind of press release and contact local papers. The problem is, it's the third book in a series. Is it weird to approach a newspaper three books in? Should I maybe approach them now for the other two? Or is it too late for the first two? Any thoughts?
