 SPEAKER:    Linda Vandevrede, Public Relations Consultant and Author

 www.lindavandavrede.com and www.valleyprblog.com

 

VandeVrede has been in high-tech public relations for more than 25 years, working for startups such as KnowledgeNet, iMemories and Sequencia, mid-size companies such as Viasoft, and large multinational corporations such as Honeywell and Data General. Many of the strategies and concepts she uses to help increase brand awareness and reputation are described in her book, Press Releases Are Not a PR Strategy, which won the Arizona Book Publishing Association Glyph award in 2008.

 

TOPIC:  Press Releases 101

Public relations and press releases have evolved significantly over the last few years because of social media.   The days of creating and mailing one press release to the masses are over.   Instead, these are the days of creating “social media releases” and reaching diversified and segmented communities in the manner in which they choose to be reached.   This presentation provides an introduction to what constitutes “press releases” and tips on what to write, when to write, and various ways to distribute in order to get the maximum benefit of book publicity.

The Publishing Process – what it is and what it takes

February 22, 2009 by patricia

 

 

 

The purpose of this proposal is to share the benefits of self-publishing with you and to give you answers to questions about why self-publishing is the vehicle for your publishing needs and your manuscript. 

 

This proposal will show you how we will work together to develop your manuscript to a finished product, just the way you envisioned it, and take it through the marketing stage if that is also your desire. 

 

This proposal will show you how we will provide you all the possible services you need with one-stop service, and how we will stay with you until you are ready to go it alone.
