Built for author press kit specifically
- Podcast hosts open one URL — no Drive permissions, no folder of attachments to download.
- Calendly in the dock — host books themselves to chat. No back-and-forth on scheduling.
- Sample chapter link as a clickable pointer → 3D book preview. Hosts see your prose before agreeing to the interview.
- Mobile-friendly — hosts who triage podcast pitches on their phone can review it without opening a laptop.
- Analytics shows which hosts opened the press kit and which links they tapped — informs your follow-up priority.
FAQ
Questions about the author press kit template
What should I put on the front vs back of the card?
Front: visual identity — your headshot + book cover (their first impression). Back: substance — short bio, 2-3 press quotes, key credentials. Keep both readable on phone screens at first glance.
How do I link to a sample chapter?
Create a separate i3dify flipbook of your first 20-30 pages (use `/free/pdf-to-3d-flipbook`). Add a clickable pointer on the back of your card linking to that flipbook URL. Hosts tap, see your prose.
Does this replace a traditional EPK?
Replaces the Google Drive / Dropbox folder of PDFs that most indie authors call an 'EPK'. Traditional publisher EPKs include high-res print-ready files which you'd still send separately on request. The 3D card is the discovery layer.
