Do you feel confused about how to market your book, especially when it comes to publicity?

You wrote your book to make a difference in the lives of your readers, but here's the challenge: How can you truly make an impact when not enough people who need your message even know about you?

The truth is, whether your book is hybrid, independently, or even traditionally published, you’re the one shouldering the responsibility of marketing.

Maybe you’re struggling to get publicity, or you’ve done a few podcasts, but when it comes to book sales, it’s just crickets…

You might be wondering...

Is there is any point to publicity?

Absolutely. But only when it’s strategic publicity...

Without intention and strategy, your media interviews will simply be “random acts of Media” - pleasant conversations that bring no benefit whatsoever.

But it doesn’t have to be that way...

Hi, I'm Mary O'Donohue

Media Coach for Disruptive Women Nonfiction Authors

With 12 seasons on The Oprah Winfrey Show, as a Post Producer and Associate Director, plus years on NBC Nightly News, The Today Show, and Meet the Press, I am the definition of a Media Insider.

I'm also a #1 bestselling author and parenting expert who has been featured in television, radio, print, and online interviews. A single media interview catapulted my book When You Say "Thank You, Mean It to bestseller status on Amazon in 12 hours, not only becoming #1 in Parenting (a massive category) but also breaking into the top 100 overall out of millions of books.

That’s right–one strategic media interview can make your book a bestseller.

As a media insider and bestselling author, I am uniquely qualified to teach you how to become the “go-to” expert in national media because that’s where you can make the biggest impact with your book and message.

In Published to Prime Time™ I draw on my decades of experience working in high profile television to teach
a small group of disruptive women nonfiction authors how to prepare for high profile publicity, get their message in front of millions of people, and become the go-to expert on their topic in national Media.

The massive boost in credibility and the prestige of national media is a game-changer that helps you grow your business, attract new clients, amp up (or start) your speaking career, and sell books.

You're an authority in your field, and it's time you received the recognition you deserve - and made the massive impact you are uniquely here to make.

Are limiting beliefs holding you back from getting the publicity you deserve?

Limiting Belief

I need to hire a publicist for $20,000 or more to have any chance at national publicity.

Reality

Not true! I’ll teach you the insider secrets to getting your own national publicity, and it will cost less than working with a publicist.

Limiting Belief

I can't get media bookings unless I'm already a bestselling author; they won't see me as an expert worth featuring otherwise.

Reality

Not remotely true! You’re an expert and the media truly needs you, so I’ll show you how to get their attention.

Limiting Belief

I need to know someone "on the inside" in the media to land high-profile publicity.

Reality

Don’t get me started! A media interview is not a favor. I’ll reveal what actually gets authors booked in Media.

Limiting Belief

I cringe at the idea of "selling" my book in a media interview, so it's holding me back from effective publicity.

Reality

You’re not alone – I hear that all the time. That’s why I teach you a highly effective marketing strategy instead of a hard-hitting sales approach!

Don't let these misconceptions cost you time, money, or valuable publicity.

Let's Start Now

"Mary O'Donohue is such a treasure to know and has taught me so much about confidently interviewing in the media, it's hard to write this with dry eyes.

In just a short time, Mary's willingness to share her years of industry insight (expertly packaged in the Media Success Blueprint core content) and shared on every live call, took me from questioning my authority to excitedly pitching my expertise as a joy coach to the Media.

I've been a member of several coaching programs and have never been involved in one with this level of ROI combined with speed. The community has been wonderfully supportive. I am so thankful I joined the Published to Prime Time group."

- Robin Shear, Author, Messy Joy (Notable Media: Time Magazine)

"Mary O'Donohue really knows her stuff.

Working with her is a rare opportunity to get an "insider's view" of the national media landscape from an industry veteran, and to get tons of individual, personalized attention even in the context of a group coaching program.

Mary curates a top-notch group of authors, too, so the opportunity to share and learn from each other is another great element of the program.

I recommend authors who are interested in breaking into national media join Mary's coaching program."

- Jenny Lisk, Author, Future Widow (Notable Media: Yahoo.com, #1 Media Website in the U.S.)

"Pitching the national media requires confidence and skill; I now have both.

I have valuable insights to share with any business leader who wants to build a more inclusive organization, but I did not know how to package those ideas so the national media could hear me.

I learned through Mary O'Donohue's "Published to Prime Time" program, how to pitch the media so that I could stand out from all the competition.

I know exactly what I need to do to get a spot in the media outlets that matter to the target audience for my book."

- Dr. Gena Cox, Author, Leading Inclusion (Notable Media: Essence Magazine)

  • You’re a woman nonfiction author who is already published or you have a nonfiction book coming out within the next year or so.

  • You’d like the insider track on how to easily pitch national producers and journalists to get high profile media bookings without needing to hire a publicist.
  • You want pitch writing to be as easy as possible with pitch templates and samples, plus highly personalized feedback on the pitches you write.
  • Speaking of pitches, you really want a highly valuable - and current - list of national contacts in TV and print Media to save you time and money.
  • You’d love to do practice interviews to fully prepare you for TV appearances, even if you’ve already been a guest on TV. (If you have, did you get the results you wanted?)
  • You’re interested in business growth, long-term book sales, increased credibility, reaching a bigger audience, and you wouldn’t mind the prestige that comes with national media exposure!
  • You’re here to make an impact and you believe that appearing in traditional Media can help you do that. (You’re right!)

"What was most valuable to me in the program was Mary O’Donohue! She is a wealth of information, experience, and expertise that can’t even be conveyed on paper or via video. 

The bonus guest speaker videos added different insights on the topics, and the quality of those speakers was such a gift to us! The workbook was very helpful too, which gave me a complete experience since I am a kinesthetic learner.

I have been in many coaching programs, and Mary is a true expert in her field and is worth every penny to get into her program. She said we could speak to millions during the program and it happened for me! I will be forever grateful to Mary!"

- Sandy Austin, Multi-Published Author (Notable Media: Good Morning America online)

"I would absolutely recommend this program to anyone seeking to expand their platform and build confidence in the process.

Mary is so delightful to work with and she is the best person, based on her experience and her personality, to be hosting a program such as this.

This information is priceless and I am so happy I chose to be a part of it.

I also made friends and created powerful community with the group. I will come back to this information for the long term."

- Sue Van Raes, Author of Food and Freedom (Notable Media: Livestrong.com) 

"Mary O’Donohue is a true gem. She strikes that nearly impossible balance of whip smart, curious, supportive, insightful, and caring. The program she has created is one of the best things I have ever done professionally. 

The way the program is broken down makes it easily digestible, but it’s also the real ‘meat and potatoes’ content. Every part of it is carefully thought out and provides real value and insights.

I’m so much more confident about interacting with the media after this training.

In addition, the opportunity to work with other women authors in this incredible community is something I will treasure."

- Kate Engler (Book Coming Soon)
