Press kit examples
Last updated November 2026
You can download 8 real book publicist press kits here, each created for a client campaign at C.S. Lewis & Co. Publicists. They span business, self-help, health, nutrition, and personal finance titles, so you can see how one firm adapts the same press kit structure to very different authors and audiences.
Right below. Every title links straight to its PDF, hosted on the C.S. Lewis & Co. Publicists press kits page. No sign-up, no form. Open one, then compare it with another from a different subject.

Use them well
C.S. Lewis & Co. Publicists builds campaigns that position authors as newsworthy experts in their field. When you open a kit, notice how quickly it tells you what the author knows and which audiences care. A producer booking a morning segment decides in seconds, so the expert angle tends to sit near the top. Compare how The Entrepreneur Equation frames a business author with how Healthy Lunchbox frames a physician writing for working parents.
The firm's media kits give the press story ideas, interview topics, and article ideas, not just a summary of the book. As you read, count how many distinct segments or articles a busy editor could pull from each kit without calling anyone. That number is a useful test for your own kit: if an editor cannot see at least a few stories, the kit is describing the book instead of selling the author.
A kit on its own rarely books an interview. C.S. Lewis & Co. Publicists distributes books and kits to the contacts that matter, then runs intensive follow-up and sends timely pitches tied to breaking news. To see what that follow-up produced, visit the client media hits page, where several of these same authors keep their press rooms.
