Media Blitz

My quote of the week:

In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure ~ Bill Cosby

It's Media Time

As promised I am documenting my journey as I try to publish and sell my first book.  This week is all about the media. I've been dealing with social media, but it's overdue that I push the pavement (so to speak) and let publications (both online and print), as well as local TV stations, know about my first book. So this is the next step, follow me as I try to get noticed in the media for my new book. 

I chose the Bill Cosby quote this week because contacting the media can be daunting; down right intimidating. Now is not the time to worry about rejection. It's like what we learned growing up; the worst that they can say is no. Well, the worst that could happen is that they can completely ignore me, but hey, at least I can say that I tried. Right now though, my mentality has to be in a positive mind-frame. I will contact the media. I will get a response. I will have a positive outcome by reaching out to the media. 

I have a good story that people need to hear. This is something that I have to remind myself to focus on when I am putting my product out there. 

Within the next few weeks I will continue to update the blog, and our official website (www.uponastarbooks.ca) with any media coverage that I have received. From there, I will also update you on any upcoming events that I will be hosting or attending.

Until next time!
