This channel brings me relief. Life is so stressful. Thank you

[@guyblaise3770]

Bravo and well done 👍

[@thewriteandpublishlab]

I always learn something new! I have a speaker media kit but from what you just shared, I am assuming this author media kit is a whole different ball game. Thank you.

What if an author want to stay anonymous? Like, use a pen name and provide no personal information about themselves?

[@emmabyrne-theswearyscienti1963]

You can create a media kit for that "persona" - it might not include a headshot but should have a 'bio' (fictive or skeleton) and some pull quotes from your pseudonymous self. The rest is all the same as if you were writing under your real name

I never heard of an author media kit, but I might make one for promotion purposes. :)

You are putting me asleep. Get some coffee or add some music to the video. Second, speak up!
