photo via nytimes.comOk. It's time to put together a press kit.
Like all good things, the procrastination must come to an end.
Maybe I'm nervous about this task because, for some reason, I keep imagining my press kit landing in the hands of some newspaper reporter in huge, serious newsroom like this one from All the President's Men.
But really, it will probably be going into the hands of some bloggers, possibly some magazine editors, and any other members of the press who happen to be going to the National Stationery Show and end up getting lured into my booth (ahem, we're in booth #1553).
Since I really don't know what I am doing with this press kit thing, here are some links Stephanie, Kristin, and Amy and I have gathered to help guide us in the process.
+ Some photos of press kits at Unfold UK
+ Advice from Erin and Jaime of Bakery on Design*Sponge
+ Tips on writing a press release on Etsy
+ Advice from Sarah Jane Studios
I hope these links help anyone who's in the same position as me...and if you have any advice or links of your own to share, please do!
p.s. If you haven't see it, please do.

Wow! Thanks so much for this post. I've been bumbling along with my press kit—design is generally the easy part but I get hung up on content. Thanks for the links!
Jenn, I saw your catalog on the NSS website. Great designs!
