Preparing the kit is a long process. So instead of spending hours in front of the computer, I am going to setup this guide as a way for you to do small increments of the kit at a time. It will be smoother. It will be less overwhelming. And, it will allow you to spend more time writing or doing something else.
So today, the goal is to setup your folders and yourself up to gather the information as quickly and as efficiently as possible.
First, you want to create a new folder on your desktop by right clicking and selecting New, then New Folder.
Once the new folder comes up, name it Press Kit.
Now, double click the folder and make a new folder for each of the following:
- Author Photos
- Biographies
- Book Information
- Book Photos
- CV
- Press Releases
It will look something like this:
This is such a small task; however, it will be ready for you when you are ready to work. In this folder, you will keep all the important information for the press kit. Having it in one place means that you can access it quickly, which is the main reason why you are creating a press kit in the first place. You are doing the work now, so you do not have to do it in the future!
Congrats! You just finished a small step toward the bigger picture. Stay tuned for the step-by-step instructions on filling these folders.
