Description
Experience Level: Entry
Seeking a PR professional to communicate my work to the public and media plus boost my profile in order to boost book sales.
I am writer, poet and philanthropist based between London and Jamaica.
I won a competition for my collection of poems 'The bulldog and the hummingbird' in conjunction with the BBC and Penguin Random House last year called 'Write Now' which aimed to increase diversity in British publishing. I was the only poet to be chosen.
I am self-publishing two books this year- 'The bulldog and the hummingbird' and a children's picture book for 5-8 year olds entitled 'Sofia the Dreamer and her Magical Afro'. The latter is being illustrated by painter Tom Rawles who has been featured in a range of press including AfroPunk and worked on a range of album covers.
I am also working on a range of t-shirts designed by Paul Martin of www.threeshadesred.com which feature Jamaican sayings with the aim of preserving the culture. A percentage of all profits will be used to send basic supplies to Jamaican orphanages and hospitals.
I need a PR and social media whizz who will be able to raise my profile so that I am featured and have my articles published in high end publications, able to get more work and most importantly help me express my message to the wider public: I am an advocate of diversity in literature.
You will have
- a proven track record of generating a media buzz
- excellent knowledge of the literary calendar and applicable competitions
- established contacts and proven relationships with editors at applicable magazines, TV, radio stations and newspapers
- be responsible for setting up, organising attendance and generating a buzz around events from school readings to book launches
- be able to gain access to industry networking events and more high profile affairs
- an excellent grasp of social media: twitter, instagram and Facebook
