Radio and TV hosts usually use a tease right before a commercial to keep people listening or watching. Here are multiple examples. Read these and then imagine that your interview is coming up next, and write some teasers to promote you and your book. Post them in the comments. Curiosity / Mystery Teases - “She uncovered the secret behind living a fearless life—find out what it is when we talk with [Author Name] coming up next.” - “Could one small decision really change your entire future? Bestselling author [Author Name] says yes—and explains why in just a few minutes.” - “What if the story you’ve been told about success is all wrong? [Author Name] joins us to reveal a surprising new perspective.” Emotional / Relatable Teases - “We’ve all faced heartbreak—but [Author Name] turned pain into purpose. Hear how their story can inspire yours.” - “If you’ve ever wondered how to find hope when life falls apart, you won’t want to miss our conversation with [Author Name].” - “From rock bottom to bestseller—[Author Name] shares their powerful journey in just moments.” Practical / “What’s in it for me” Teases - “Want to beat stress in less than five minutes a day? [Author Name] says it’s possible—we’ll find out how.” - “Three simple habits that could change your life—straight from [Author Name], coming up.” - “Think you don’t have time to chase your dreams? [Author Name] says you do, and they’ll tell us why.” Bold / Dramatic Teases - “They’ve been called the next C.S. Lewis—hear why readers can’t stop talking about [Author Name].” - “The book shaking up the conversation on faith and culture—we’ve got [Author Name] here to tell us more.” - “From Wall Street to wilderness, [Author Name] has lived it all—and the story will surprise you.” These work because they dangle a benefit or story without spilling the whole thing, so listeners or viewers have to stay tuned.

My name is RayJoseph, and I’m excited to join this community of writers. Writing for me is both a passion and a way to help others—I love crafting books that blend storytelling with practical frameworks to inspire change and make complex ideas simple and relatable. I’ve written in areas like self-help, mindset, decluttering, and personal growth, always with the goal of giving readers something they can use right away in their daily lives. Outside of writing, I’m also a DJ and entrepreneur, so creativity and rhythm often find their way into my words. I’m here to learn, share, and connect with fellow writers, exchange insights about the craft, and grow together in this journey. I’d love to hear about what you all are working on and what excites you most about writing. Looking forward to engaging with you all!

I've found that most writers are also readers. How did you learn about the author or the book you're currently reading?

I originally planned to limit the number of Free Members who will be grandfathered in to my Publicity For Authors Training to 25, BUT we've already passed that number. For a limited time, I will remain open to more free members, so please invite all of your writer friends to join now! Here's the link to send them: https://www.skool.com/perpetualpublicity/about
