Summary: Good Book!
Comment: I thought that this book was very helpful in teaching about self-promotion. I am interested in Public Relations, so reading this taught me many useful PR tools, such as: how to write a press release, what to include in a press and speaking kit, how to develop a general plan with goals and objectives, where to look for good story ideas, how and why you should develop contact files, and lastly, how to deal with the media. The author was specific and gave realistic examples. There were tables, worksheets, and graphs for the readers to see, which I thought was useful. The information in this book is helpful for anyone who may be interested in promoting themselves, their business/company and/or their services. It is a Public Relations manual in every way, shape, and form! At the end of the book, the author summarizes most of the chapters, so you can look at that section for a quick reference if need be. I would recommend this text because it is not only helpful, but written in a way that keeps your attention and is easy to understand.
