A Publishing Industry First: BookPitch.com to Create Exclusive Podcasts at Book Expo 2005
For the first time ever, podcasts will be available to the publishing and non-publishing worlds direct from Book Expo, the largest publishing industry convention in the United States. The online podcasts will allow listeners who can’t attend Book Expo to get a colorful taste of what it’s like to be there.
Burlington, WA, June 01, 2005 --(PR.com)-- The just-launched interactive book publishing website Bookpitch.com will feature exclusive site-based audio and downloadable podcasts from Book Expo on its website starting Sunday June 5th. Interviews and commentary with authors, publishers, agents and attendees will be conducted by Linda Oatman High on Friday, June 3rd at New York City’s Jacob Javits Convention Center.
For the first time ever, podcasts will be available to the publishing and non-publishing worlds direct from Book Expo, the largest publishing industry convention in the United States. The online podcasts will allow listeners who can’t attend Book Expo to get a colorful taste of what it’s like to be there.
Linda Oatman High is an award-winning children’s book author, journalist and speaker. Carrying a digital recorder with highly voice-sensitive microphones, she will be conducting impromptu, on-the-spot interviews with publishing industry attendees of all kinds. The spontaneous interviews and commentaries will be edited, mixed and loaded onto BookPitch.com and available to listeners at no cost. Visitors to BookPitch.com will be able to download these exclusive interviews into iPods, or listen to them on the site.
BookPitch.com’s mission is to take its place on the leading edge of technology in its pioneering—some say revolutionary--service to the writing and publishing industry. Podcasts, dubbed the “real and relevant” news and entertainment audio broadcasting of the future, pick up where blogs leave off. BookPitch.com will continuously make podcasts available directly from many other national and global book events and conferences, as well. BookPitch.com will also be conducting planned interviews with authors, agents and publishing figures via face-to-face or Internet-based recording methods, and posting them on the website for listening and downloading.
Coming soon to BookPitch.com will be the highly anticipated Internet TV, featuring video interviews and other book-oriented shows produced by BookPitch.com and its partners. Internet TV will add the visual element that podcasts don’t provide.
Cable show producers and others with video or television shows featuring literary content are encouraged to contact BookPitch.com.
BookPitch.com is a division of Pitch Portals, LLC and is privately held. The mailing address is P.O. Box 969, Burlington, WA 98233, and the corporate phone number is 360-542-8304. The web address is: www.Bookpitch.com
