Twitter Contest Update: What exactly is book publicity?

Remember our recent Twitter Contest? Our first winner, David Smith, has been using our service recently, and gratefully included us in his newsletter, the Heritage Writer’s Guild. We included a newsletter snippet to show you what YouDoPR.com does, and to get writers like you interested in this monthly resource for authors!

We loved David Smith’s response to book publicity so much, that we extended the contest time. We decided to move our winner from a “serious” contestant’s definition to a “funny” one! With that said, our second contest winner for a free one-month premium membership with YouDoPR.com is fiction writer Carol White, whom we featured on the original post. Congratulations! Please use the contact form to get in touch and start your book marketing with us!

Naturally, we wante to include our personal YouDoPR definition of book publicity:

Book publicity is the use of the media — radio, TV, newspapers, magazines, and online outlets — as a conduit to spread word of a book and author to the public or special interest market segments. In it’s purest form, it is a classic “you scratch their back, they scratch yours” arrangement. If a media contact (producer, editors, etc.) is presented with quality information and a good topic from a book, they will set up an interview or run a print story about the topic and your book will be “plugged”. In short — you give them story or interview ideas, they will reciprocate by providing a venue to promote your book.

Let us know what you think about book publicity in the comments!

PS: We have a great virtual event for writers coming up. Like poetry? Check it out!

Twitter Contest: What exactly is Book Publicity?

Over the weekend, we decided to give away two premium memberships for free in a creative writing contest. Any time between Friday and Sunday (8/17-19), people in our social media circles just had to send a tweet @YouDoPR or post a comment on our Facebook thread on their definition of book publicity. Check out our results below to see our first and second place winners!

The various responses from Twitter and Facebook created some excellent starting points for discourse on the book publicity industry. While we were anticipating serious feedback, some of the definitions had us laughing in the office, with entries providing such surprisingly playful remarks.

While we loved all of our submissions, we were particularly impressed with David Smith’s succinct definition on book publicity. Congratulations on being our first-place winner in receiving a free 1-month premium membership from YouDoPR.com, David! To get started, please contact us on our website. David’s premium membership includes a monthly 100 media outlet list, 500 contact press release distribution, NetGalley showcase, social media visibility, and more! Are you curious on what he had to say about book publicity?

I bet you’re wondering who our second winner is? Keep tuned in and we’ll let you know soon! We want to thank everyone who participated in this conversation on book publicity. Since we received so many different perspectives, who really knows what book publicity is? CEO Dan Smith of YouDoPR.com recently bunked popular book publicity myths to enlighten those that are new to the book marketing industry. He has been in the industry for 15+ years and has written several articles on how to maximize your publicity as an author. Authors, publishing groups, and writer’s circles need publicity, so where do they get their start? You can sign up as a free member to see our articles, monthly newsletter, marketing tips, and more here.

Who do you think had the best definition in our twitter contest? Share your definition in the comments! Who knows, maybe you’ll end up winning a premium membership with YouDoPR!
