How are you getting on all these radio shows? I’ve got to find one for self-published authors.
Well, I did work at a Radio station for like 14 years – you make some friends that way ; ) I’m sure NPR reviews/interviews self-pubs… it seems very much up their alley.
CBC, NPR, what are you, famous? Ha, good job!
Not at all – just fortunate! Thanks though!
So any advice from someone who is neither famous nor fortunate?
Get good at writing the pitch and wrap it around a timely event. So if you’re going to be in town at a Book Event, pitch yourself to the local stations with a few choice angles/stories. That’s half the work for the busy Radio Producer – coming up with the angles of why to interview this author over this other author.
Good one!
Anytime Sir!
