You’ll come away with advice on how to protect yourself from the “go for the jugular” journalists, down & dirty tactics for attracting attention, and tips for taking charge of any interview situation so you can sell more books. In this month-long intensive workshop you’ll learn:

* Why media don’t often want to interview fiction authors
* Changing that with three strategies to hook producers or editors
* Keys to developing message points and using them successfully
* Tips on creating a sound bite
* Strategies to avoid questions, direct interviews and capture audience attention
* Five things you should always do during an interview
* Techniques used to prepare NYT bestsellers for national media
