The Hot Springs Area Cultural Alliance will hold the quarterly networking meeting on February 10th at Hotel Hot Springs. Stephanie Storey, a veteran member of the national media, will begin at 5:30pm with a workshop on how to promote arts events.
Storey will present an overview of best media and public relations practices for small businesses and nonprofits. Attendees will learn how to develop and manage a targeted media list (without subscribing to an expensive service), pitch the press more effectively, develop stronger relationships with members of the media, increase media coverage, give more compelling interviews, and use press hits to garner even more media attention for your organization.
Stephanie Storey is a bestselling author, veteran national TV producer, and experienced media consultant for businesses and nonprofits. She has produced over 1,500 interviews for national talk and news television programs on networks including ABC, CBS, PBS, MSNBC, Sundance Channel, and more.
She also manages the publicity for her own art historical novels, which have been hailed by The New York Times as “tremendously entertaining,” been translated into six languages, and made The Los Angeles Times and Amazon bestseller lists. One of her novels, Oil and Marble, is currently in development as a feature film by Pioneer Pictures in Los Angeles.
She has trained organizations and individuals in best media practices and helped organizations secure news coverage in national media outlets including The New York Times, USA Today, Washington Post, Slate, The Atlantic, and TV appearances on major network, cable, and local news.
The workshop will be from 5:30-7:00 followed by networking until 8:00 P.M. The workshop is free. Register at mzunick@hotsprings.org to ensure a seat. For arts community updates, visit Facebook: HotSpringsAreaCulturalAlliance.
