On this episode of the Book Proposal Podcast, Debra Eckerling answers the question, “When should I gather media for my book proposal?”

The short answer is: yesterday. As soon as you start working on a nonfiction book, you need to begin building your visibility through media.

One of the best things about working on a book proposal is that you can work on multiple sections in tandem. While you are figuring out the concept and the actual content of your book you can be working on the context section: your author platform, marketing ideas, and more. Media is a huge part of your author platform.

In this episode you’ll discover why gathering media should begin early in your proposal process, how and why media fits into your author platform and proposal strategy, ways to get started, and why traditional media still matters.

“You” are a big part of what sells your book. But you need to be out there and visible to show it
