Why write a book press release?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Book promotion is an ongoing process, so PR for books is relevant whenever a book is launched, even if it's a new edition of a timeless classic. The key to excellent press releases, though, is to provide much more than a summary of a book. Instead, you'll want to entice potential readers with the benefits<\/em> of reading the whole piece<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like most great press release writing, it's all about excellent storytelling<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you write your press release<\/a>, keep these main goals in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Show the journalist why their readers will find the book exciting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Provide the main points of the book while leaving the reader wanting more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Include specific details like the release date and book signing dates.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    When to write a book press release?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    You can write a book launch announcement whenever a book is newly-published and will be available for purchase within a few weeks. You may even wait until the book is officially available online or in stores, as long as the date of the release is very recent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Protip: <\/strong>Write a new book press release several weeks before the book launch date, ideally when a pre-order sales channel is set up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to write a press release for a book launch?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    To hit the sweet spot, try combining storytelling<\/a> with providing only pertinent information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While you might get creative when it comes to the content, the structure you use to present it should follow some basic rules to be properly formatted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
