For my next book (which will be available in print and ebook), I'm researching how to get reviews, especially professional reviews, and book blurbs. One of the first things I learned was that I would need a galley and a press kit. I had no idea what either one consisted of. I started researching. I started here on AW and put "what is a book galley" in the search box. I got zero results, so I went to google. I found an article that is really helpful.
Book Review Galleys: What Should They Look Like?
Next, I began to tackle the subject of the press kit.
50 Ways to Reach Your Readers #4: Media Kit
Presentation is everything--so I like this link:
Create a simple media kit with publisher
So much of what we do is on-line these days:
Preparing Your Online Media Kit
I'm just sharing what I'm learning as I stumble my way along. I welcome any other advice or experiences from those with more experience or knowledge.
(Mods: I choose the self-pub forum for this because although it is promotion, trade published authors don't need to worry about these things as the publisher takes care of them. But if you see the need to move it--no hard feelings. )
