Author Chats for Autism Awareness Month
I submitted a listing to HARO (help a reporter out) on March 18th. It finally appeared in the evening edition on Friday, April 3, 2009 - my birthday and the day of the gluten free twitter party I organized.
Here is the POST:
Subject: Press Query for Distribution: Healthcare
Summary: Author Chats for Autism Awareness Month
Category: Healthcare
Name: Bonnie Sayers
Email: autismfamily@gmail.com
Title: Autism Advocate/Parent
Media Outlet/Publication: www.twitter.com
Deadline: 3:00 PM PACIFIC - April 22
Query: “I want to promote autism awareness month (April) by interviewing authors of newly releasd books on the topic of autism. This can be books that have been released thus far in 2009 or soon to be in the next month or so. You may be aware that Jenny McCarthy has a new book due out March 31st and I want to show there are other sides of autism out there in the media and give authors the opportunity to spotlight their books as the media will be buzzing on Jenny.
This will be no more than one hour of tweeting interview style with me on the book topic. I am promoting as “author chats” and will do blog post as well. My id is www.twitter.com/autismfamily
