Pitching your Self-Published Book to NewsHour

The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer attracts over 3 million viewers each night to PBS and most of them are avid readers.

The arts and culture producers are your best bets for pitching your self-published book if you cannot find a more specific producer based upon your subject matter. (I have included additional producers, their contact information, and their subjects of specialization below).

Email the producer in advance and mention that you will be sending them a copy of your book. Then, mail them a copy along with your press release, sales sheet (if you have one) and any additional information that would be helpful.  Then, about 2 weeks later, follow-up via email again and inquire about the book.
