Writing Paths: Media Training 101 for Authors and Illustrators
Hello Friends,
I wanted to share this amazing opportunity with you all.
I am moderating a panel called Writing Paths: Media Training 101 for Authors and Illustrators with two publicists. If you are unable to make it live, it will be recorded. Register so you get the replay link.
This "Media Training 101 for Authors and Illustrators" workshop/panel offers aspiring and established creatives a comprehensive introduction to the essential skills needed to navigate the complex world of media and publicity. We will share techniques required to confidently interact with journalists and media. We will talk about how to pitch their work effectively. Come and learn to handle interviews with poise and precision. We are thrilled to help you learn how to promote your literary endeavors and connect with your target audience.
About the panelists:

Born and raised in Malaysia, LIM MAY-ZHEE is a writer and freelance publicist living in New York. During her time with Riverhead Books, she helped launch the careers of debut authors and expand the readership of prize-winning ones such as Pulitzer winner Hernan Diaz and Nobel Laureate Olga Tokarczuk. In 2021, she made the Publishers Weekly Star Honoree list for her creative, out-of-the-box publicity ideas, including a short story printed on cake wrapping and a pop-up reading room series around the city. Before joining book publishing, she was an executive assistant at PEN America. Currently, May-Zhee is at work on her first novel.
The event is free, though donations are appreciated.
