Writers’ Podcast Kicks Off the New Year with an Exciting Series of Interviews

Writers in the Sky January Podcast Guests Discuss the Power of Effective Marketing for Everyone from the Fab Four to Fabulous Authors

Nashville, TN, December 31, 2008 – The members of Writers in the Sky will be ringing in 2009 with three interviews that offer our listeners fascinating perspectives on the world of marketing, both past and present. If your New Year’s resolution is to publicize your work in a way that will reach as many people as possible, then these podcasts will be essential tools in your preparation. First, a lawyer who worked with The Beatles will share some insights into how the most successful band in the world was discovered and marketed. Next, a public relations expert will provide great tips on getting your name into the media and keeping it there. And, we round out the month by talking with an author who has a series of new eBooks designed to help anyone interested in using technology as a marketing tool.

On January 16, Sarah Moore, author’s assistant for Writers in the Sky, will be talking with author Charles Tillinghast about his new book How Capitol Got the Beatles. Tillinghast worked for fifteen years as the head of the Law Department of Capitol Records, including the time during which The Beatles were signed with the label. He shares inside information about how the contract with The Beatles almost did not come to pass, who really discovered the Fab Four, and how strains in personal relationships caused problems with the band’s contract negotiations. Listeners will enjoy this valuable information concerning the record industry specifically and effective marketing in general.
