$155.00 BAN Radio Virtual Book Release Party

::: Virtual Book Release Party with eblast announcement
A Virtual Book Release party consists of EDC Creations arranging for book clubs and readers to join the author in the Black Authors Network chat room. We will have a ball discussing the book and the "behind the scene" information into the creation of the book. Here is a copy of our backroom stats for BAN Radio show.

An Evening with Ella:
The author will be interviewed, on the air of BAN Radio Show, with Ella Curry for 1-hour. The author will perform a live reading from the book too. The author invites their entire network to join in the party. Reviewers or people who have read the book, will call into the show to add support or to discuss the book. The author chats in the chat room during the interview, answering questions there as well.

Listen to one of our parties with a new author Monique Mensah that has 627 downloads at Jan. 3, 2010 and climbing.

The image below shows the stats from just one of our Sister Chat virtual parties. We invited our bookclub list and reader database to listen in live or to download the archive via the BAN Radio newsletter.

The author's books are sold directly from the chatroom, during the party.
This promotion includes a email blast to the EDC Creations database of 133,000 readers. The re-broadcast of the interview is available in 130 RSS feeds, including iTunes! To date we have sold over 970 books at our virtual release parties and online events, from the EDC Creations bookstore (stats as of Jan. 5, 2010). There is no way for us to know how many books sold from other locations, but we can let you know how many books we sell in our online store.

::: Media Training for New Authors and Speakers $350.00
Media training is essential to ensure the successful delivery of an author’s message to the media. Leveraging our media and book industry expertise, we conduct an 2-hour media training workshop for each author. The curriculum includes detailed sessions covering each media genre: print, online, radio and television. Authors participate in several mock interviews that are critiqued by our publicity team and used to help each author develop their message and identify effective talking points.

I will share with the authors all the details I learned from a recent Publicity Summit and popular online conference. I take the authors step by step into creating the BUZZ before the book release and how to create a effective publicity plan. Training comes with sample publicity plan and ebook. The media training is held over the telephone and through podcast tips and advice. After reviewing the book or manuscript, we will provide a list of 10 media sources to submit the book to for add publicity.
