Press Kits 101

     Now, while I've never written a book, and most definitely never published one, I have had quite the experience with press kits. Throughout my years of blogging (it's been 5 years, I can't believe it!) I've worked with authors, publicity agents and even publishers of various backgrounds, all of which had a different approach to pitching a book. However, one of the best things I've seen across the board is those who pitch a book and include a press kit. Now, if you don't know what a press kit is, it's basically a compilation of all basic information and materials a reviewer, publisher, etc. might need when dealing with your book. While the items vary there are a couple basic items that I wish all authors would include when requesting a review. So, without further ado, let's get started on what goes inside a press kit and how to go about making one.

The Stereotypical Romance

     So, as you probably know, I hate romance plots in literature, television, movies, pretty much everywhere. I believe it's totally overused and tends to overshadow more important things, as well as making at least one character look like a total idiot fawning over the other. However, as I have no way to express this idea through words, I've decided to show you the typical romance plot as I see it, which is featured in everything from Disney movies, to books about serial killers (yes this is said from recent experience).
