What does a Publicist do?

You’ve signed with a publishing house, now what?

On today’s show,  we chat to a publicist from Affirm Press, one of this country's favourite publishing houses, all about what to expect when your book gets accepted. What assistance do you receive? What media? How do they present you and your book to the world? And what your role is in the process.

Plus, Liv reviews two awesome new picture books. All on today’s show, it’s gunna be huge. 

Today’s special guest began her working life in journalism before moving into the exciting and busy world of book publishing. Today she works as a much-loved publicist at Affirm Press based in Melbourne Australia.

She’s popped in today to share with us exactly what a publicist does. How they differ from marketing, and how her job is all about assisting authors and illustrators get the most out of their publishing experience. Everyone please welcome the amazing and wonderful, Dana Anderson.
