There are several ways to get your work featured on a podcast or website, and those routes typically fall into two categories: hiring a publicist or being your own publicist. The former is hella pricey, while the latter is hella time-consuming.
Pitching media outlets is not a skill I was formally taught. Years as an online journalist prepared me to be an indie cofounder in the VC world. My scrappy, DIY PR skills landed my NA drink in Men’s Health, Punch, Bottle Raiders, and more.
People pay big bucks to get the press I landed for my brand. If you want to get your brand (or book!) featured in the press, join me Tuesday at 12EST for a free seminar in collaboration with the non-alc media company, Dry Atlas.
Goal Setting Workshop Tuesday at 7EST
Feeling stuck with your writing goals? I got you. My new workshop helps writers reflect on 2024, look further into 2025, and then learn actionable steps to accomplish writing goals throughout the year. Whether working on something big like a book proposal or trying to find your voice as a writer, Resolution Revamp: Revisit Your 2025 Writing Goals is the course for you.
