A guide for self-published authors to secure local media interviews

Stop Getting Ignored by Local Media

You’ve poured your heart into your book. You’ve hit publish. Now you’re staring at your inbox wondering why local journalists aren’t beating down your door.

Here’s the truth: They’re not ignoring you because your story isn’t good enough. They’re ignoring you because you’re pitching it all wrong.

Pitch the Right Media Angle is your insider playbook to landing local media interviews, written by someone who actually did this for a living. Not theory. Not guesswork. Real strategies from a former PR pro who spent years getting clients on TV, radio, and in print by building genuine relationships with journalists and editors.

What you’ll learn:

• How to craft a pitch that makes journalists say “yes” instead of delete
• The exact kind of angles that get local media attention (hint: it’s not just “I wrote a book”)
• How to position yourself as a valuable resource they’ll want to feature again and again
• The relationship-building secrets that turn one interview into ongoing coverage
• What media outlets actually need from you and how to deliver it

This isn’t about begging for coverage. It’s about becoming the kind of author local media actively wants to talk to.

You don’t need a big publisher or a PR agency. Yet. You just need to know what works and this guide shows you exactly that. Stop pitching into the void. Start getting booked.
