How to Promote My Book with Free Radio Interviews

To promote a book today a winning public relations strategy for authors is to get interviewed on radio, TV, or podcast talk shows.

Getting interviewed as a guest expert on radio, TV, or podcast, can help establish you as an expert in your field, build credibility, and help you sell more books.

Authors are in high demand as radio guests and on TV talk shows because having a book published automatically suggests that you are an expert worth listening to about your book’s topic.

To promote a book on radio shows, get authors interviewed on TV, or featured on podcasts, you need to reach the producers of your targeted programs with a helpful and informative story pitch.

How to Get Interviews on Radio, TV, and Podcasts with a Good Interview Publicity Pitch
Your interview pitch should have these elements to help your author get interviews as a Guest Expert on the radio, TV, or podcast shows you target:

  1. An attention grabbing headline that highlights your book’s topic: Many people use "pitch formulas" that encapsulate your book’s subject into an eye-catching title. Mimic the “teasers” you hear for your evening TV newscast and you’ll be on the right track. Try “ The 7 Secrets about X that They Don’t Want You to Know”, “The Hidden Dangers of X”, “The Surprising Truth about X”, “Why [Latest News Headline] is Great (or Bad) News for Your Audience”, etc.
  2. Reach the Right Person: Big, popular talk radio shows have a staff of producers. The best producers to reach are those that find and schedule guest experts for on the air interviews. These producers are called "bookers". For smaller shows, the booker, the producers, and the host may all be the same person.
  3. Offer Real Information, Not Just a Book Pitch: To get booked on the radio or interviewed on TV, you need to impress the booking producer with your expertise. They don’t want to interview you on the air just so you can give a commercial for your book. They are looking for timely, interesting, and helpful info that will reward their listeners and watchers for tuning in to their radio show, TV program, or podcast. Send them a customized pitch that offers a summary of your book and how its information can help inform their listeners. 
  4. Contact the Show: You need to e-mail, fax, FedEx, Tweet or call the producers to offer your expertise and a free “review copy” of your book. It’s unlikely that they will actually read the book given how many review copies most producers receive, but you must at least offer one. After initial contact is made polite, pleasant, and persistent reminders, whether by e-mail, social media, phone, or letter are a part of doing business in the world of public relations.
