Ngaire,

I dont advertise or have any kind of media kit. I dont have brochures either. I have my website and business cards that I print myself so that I can change the image on it occasionally.

My media kit is the fact that I am bold enough to send press releases to every newspaper in Texas... And I make friends with reporters. They like me because I write an entire article about myself (I started doing this after a reporter made me sound like a dummy once) - if you write it well enough they will often just use what you wrote and not change a thing - you saved them a bunch of work. Of course - this works well in small towns better since there isn't much news.
