The sample follows a fictional novelist, Tobias Wren, represented by Lowmoor Creative, with list price, page count, newsletter open rate and talk fees. Replace the book details, the figures and the dates, label the month of every audience number, and add your own photos.

Questions

Are the people and figures in the sample real?

No. Lowmoor Creative, Tobias Wren, the book, the events and every figure are fictional and exist only to show how a finished author media kit reads.

Should I publish my talk fees?

Yes, a range or a starting fee saves event planners a round of email. Add the date the fees are valid until and say what travel and expenses cover.

How often should I update the numbers?

Check them before every send. Newsletter size, open rate and social following change monthly, so write the month beside each figure so buyers know how current it is.
