Free IndieAuthor Guide to Press Kits Now Available

PRLog (Press Release) - Apr. 11, 2008 - The free IndieAuthor Guide to Press Kits is now available in .pdf format at the website of author April L. Hamilton (http://www.aprillhamilton.com/IAGuides.html).  The Guide informs writers of content commonly found in press kits used to promote authors or books, and offers instruction on how to create that content using limited resources.  Topics covered in the Guide include press releases, one sheets, author photographs, informative articles and inexpensive, promotional giveaways.  This Guide is the sixth in a series which includes:

> The IndieAuthor Guide to Publishing With CreateSpace™
> The IndieAuthor Guide to Creating Your Own Book Covers
> The IndieAuthor Guide to Publishing Your Work For The Kindle™
> The IndieAuthor Guide to Editing
> The IndieAuthor Guide to Creating Your Brand

Additional Guides are planned, and all are offered at no charge.  “When the series is complete,” said Hamilton, “I plan to combine them into a single volume for publication as book, but I’ll keep the individual, free Guides on my site.  I’m writing the Guides to help authors who would like to go indie, as I have, but worry they lack the necessary knowledge or technical skills to go it alone.”

April L. Hamilton is a writer based in Southern California.  Frustrated by the new business model of the highly-consolidated publishing industry, Hamilton has elected to publish her work independently.  Hamilton is working to encourage an indie movement in authorship to match those of the music and film industries, by offering free, IndieAuthor how-to Guides at her author website (http://www.aprillhamilton.com), where free excerpts from her novels are also available.
