The Nonfiction Authors Association has partnered with PR Newswire to provide Authority members of NFAA with exclusive discounts to services provided by PR Newswire, including comprehensive press release distribution, PR Newswire’s syndication network of over 5,500 media websites, and ProfNet.
At the Nonfiction Authors Association, we believe ProfNet is an essential tool for authors who want to gain major media exposure. ProfNet is a professional database where subject matter experts have access to queries from media professionals seeking sources to interview and quote for stories in major media outlets, including print, radio and television.
“As a non-fiction author, speaker and coach, getting media exposure without spending a fortune is a key to my success. During my 18 months of being a ‘solopreneur’, I have been featured in Fortune, FastCompany, Money Magazine, US News & World Report, Investor’s Business Daily, on a jumbotron in Times Square and much more. The return on investment is huge as it takes very little time with an outcome of publicity that I just couldn’t buy as a virtually unknown person.”
— Dana Manciagli

I have found ProfNet to be extremely effective at generating media exposure. I responded to three or four inquiries each day and had at least 25% of my quotes used, including mentions in MONEY Magazine, CNN Money, Forbes, Inc. Magazine, FORTUNE and the New York Times. Although it does take some time each day, it can result in significant press coverage.
