Elaine draws on her decades of experience as a journalist, senior editor and author to share how you can get more media exposure – and publish your next book.

They don’t want to publish articles that are outdated tomorrow… Do you have something relevant to what people are experiencing and bigger areas of pain? How can you move the conversation forward?”
