- Why traditional media can be less competitive and more profitable for an author
- Her strategy for “starting local and then going global” that will skyrocket your exposure over time if you follow the process
- How to get booked several times a year only spending a few minutes a week on your PR campaign
- Why you should definitely consider hiring a PR firm if you can afford it (and how to get the most out of it)
