One-Sheets for Nonfiction Book Authors
If you write nonfiction books, model your one-sheet after these book authors
If you want to be booked as a guest on radio shows, TV shows, podcasts, Facebook Lives, webinars, blogs, school visits, etc., the first thing you should create is an author one-sheet. This is essential!
What Is a One-Sheet?
A one-sheet tells people the basics about you all on one page: your name, your book title (and a little about your book), your book cover, your photo, how to contact you (email, phone number, website), where to buy your book, a short bio, and anything else you think people would like to know about you.
If you want to be interviewed, your one-sheet should also include questions your interviewer can use to interview you as well as topics you can speak on.
Check out this one-sheet for Alinka Rutkowska, author of How I Sold 80,000 Books: Book Marketing for Authors - Self Publishing through Amazon and Other Retailers.
Here is the cover for Alinka’s book:
Here is another one-sheet (actually a two-sheet) for Dr. Ronald Beach, author of The Virtual Divide: Tackling Your Challenges in a Virtual World.
The first page featured Ron’s topics and bio, while the second page featured his three book covers as well as testimonials.
Here is a one-sheet used by Scott Silverman, author of The Opioid Epidemic: What You Don't Know Will Destroy Your Family and Your Life.
And, finally, here is a new version of Judith Briles’ one-sheet which features seven of her books, her media coverage, awards won, testimonials, social media, speaking topics, and even a QR code for more details. What do you think? Is it too busy?
The last three one-sheets were created by Rebecca Finkel of F + P Graphic Design (https://www.fpgd.com) with the help of the authors.
