Ever struggled with getting a review, an interview or even a reply from arts media?
During the comedy festival, you’re competing with hundreds of other shows and it seems like less is being published. How do media choose what they are going to cover?
This workshop is about making the seemingly impossible easier, especially when you’re doing your own publicity or are new to the publicity scene.
You’ll come away with a much better understanding of how arts media works in Melbourne, insider knowledge about how to get media to enthusiastically answer your email/return your call, ideas about other media to approach, knowing how to open up the hidden world of independent media, and ideas about how to make independent coverage work for your show.
And you get to hang out in the gorgeous Butterfly Club as you ask a journalist – me – questions and share stories and hints with other artists.
