Press/Media Kit, Query Letter & Press Release Template

A press kit, often referred to as a media kit in business environments, is a pre-packaged set of promotional materials of a person, company, or organization distributed to members of the media for promotional use. They are often distributed to announce a release or for a news conference.

A query letter is a formal letter sent to magazine editors, literary agents and publishing houses or companies. Writers write query letters to propose writing ideas. They can also be used to contact libraries or book stores to request book signings and introduce published works.

A press release is a written or recorded communication directed at members of the news media for the purpose of announcing something ostensibly newsworthy. Typically, they are mailed, faxed or e-mailed to assignment editors at newspapers, magazines, radio stations, television stations and/or television networks.
