Are there any special requirements necessary to purchase
the Media Alerts service?
Yes, you must have previously purchased a press release service, such as the
Book Marketing, Expanded Book Marketing, Newswire Plus Media Blast or Press Release
Composition service. Also, if you plan to announce an upcoming event in your release,
make sure you allow sufficient time before the event, at least 25 business days,
for the completion of this service.

What are the steps involved after I purchase the Media Alerts
service?
After you purchase the Media Alerts service, we will send a submission form questionnaire
via e-mail, so that we can add specific information about your event to the press
release. Once you have completed the questionnaire, you can return the form via
e-mail, fax or mail. One of our press release specialists will update your press
release and send a copy out for your approval via e-mail, which you can expect within
two weeks.
After you receive the press release, you should
review the document for accuracy. You can send in your approval form if no changes
are desired. If you have changes, but do not wish to see the final
version before it is distributed, you can send in your approval with the changes.
If you send in the corrections only, we will complete the changes then send you
a new press release to approve. Once we receive your signed approval form, within
approximately five to seven business days we will compile a media list of at least 50 specific media outlets
in the cities of your choice. We will then distribute your press release to these
50 media outlets. You will receive a copy of the media list via e-mail five to seven business
days after distribution.

How does the Media Alerts service help my marketing efforts?
This service allows you to promote your book by using a book related event as a
"press worthy" reason to send out a release. Generating media excitement
around your event not only publicizes the event itself, but it also increases your
book's visibility overall, encouraging more interview requests, which in turn
helps boost sales. You can use Media Alerts again and again to take advantage
of the connections CraigsPress.com provides to media outlets within the United States. Even
if you don't have a planned event, Media Alerts are a great way to continue marketing
your book over an extended time.
