Kelly explains to listeners, "Steve Harrison's Author Success team has helped over 15,000 successful experts, entrepreneurs and authors write and/or promote their books and business, so listen up! I have been to Steve's National Publicity Summit six times as both an author and a publicist, and it is a gamechanger for anyone with a brand to promote!"

When asked to explain the role of "media hooks" in getting national and local media interviews, Harrison expanded, "I know a national TV producer who said, I really don't care about your book because I can't interview your book.…You need a unique wrapper, media hook or tease…Sometimes you'll try things and they just don't work, and all of the sudden you come up with a new hook, and it can explode… Having the right phrase and the right positioning can take media from 'not interested' to 'hey we want to interview you', and I still find that really exciting."

During the pandemic, Harrison describes how the National Publicity Summit has shifted from in-person one-on-one meetings with 75 reporters and 65 experts at a New York City hotel ballroom to virtual Zoom meetings. During this invaluable conference, Kelly explains that authors are given media coaching and training prior to six "Meet the Media" sessions, where they are given two minutes to pitch the reporter, listen to their response and ask the best way to follow-up.
