Does Your Book Have An Honorary Day Media Tie-In?

                             

You may have a great book, an interesting back story, and solid credentials. It would seem you have a lot going for you to get media coverage, but of course, you will need more than these things. You will also need some luck, a news cycle tie-in, and some good timing. What will also help is if you can pitch yourself or book in a way that connects you to an honorary day, anniversary, or holiday.
