What does an author brand kit include?

An author brand kit covers the assets readers, editors, and bookers expect: a press sheet, newsletter header, podcast cover, quote cards, social media templates, and an official letterhead for press correspondence.

How do I pitch myself to podcasts as a writer?

Use the Podcast Cover and Press Sheet from your author brand kit as a one-page pitch. Lead with the angle, follow with topics you can speak to, and close with the link to your three best clips.

Should writers use a press kit or a media kit?

Both — the Brand AI media kit combines the press sheet (for editors/journalists) with the sponsor badge and podcast cover (for partnerships). One file covers the conversation.

Do these templates fit a Substack-style newsletter?

Yes. The Newsletter Header is sized for Substack, beehiiv, ConvertKit and Mailchimp, and the Quote Card is set up for the cross-posts that drive Substack growth.

Can I keep using these as my style evolves?

Yes — change your brand colors and fonts once, and every asset in the author brand kit re-renders. You never re-design from scratch.
