Producers and journalists are tasked with providing valuable information for their audience. So when you send them your pitch, they'll ask the question on behalf of their audience, "What's in it for me?," to determine if you're someone they want to have as a guest on their show. Tell them why you would be an impactful guest, what will keep their audience engaged to your message and tuned into their show and you'd have a good shot of getting on the air. I would suggest identifying local radio and TV shows that have a format for guests first, hone your pitch, see what works and what doesn't. Do some interviews locally and then broaden your scope to reach outside of your market. Hope this helps! :) Marsha Hi Kathleen,

However, based on a true experience, I have written the first book in an urban fantasy trilogy called, MYTHOLOGICAL SAM. (The Call. The Shift. The Crowning.) While a work of fiction, this trilogy has non-fiction intent. I believe humanity thinks with the wrong emotional center. The purpose of this trilogy (a hilarious demon-busting call to adventure) is to get folks thinking with their Souls instead of their ever-chattering and exhausting Egos. I would like the opportunity to express this belief on TV and radio. I'm curious to know how make such contacts. Thanks so much for the posted tips. I will follow through with those for now.
