Hollywood Correspondent, Author and Media Coach Gayl Murphy says, "Ya Gotta Tell it to Sell It!" Murphy takes her 'media message' to the Orange County, CA Chapter of FINANCIAL WOMEN INTERNATIONAL on Wednesday, February 4th, 2004.

Hollywood Correspondent, Author and Media Coach Gayl Murphy says, "If you can't tell your own story, who can an who will?" Murphy will address this question and others at the next meeting of Financial Women International, Wednesday evening, February 4th at The Turnip Rose, in Orange, California.

(PRWEB) February 1, 2004 --Gayl Murphy's message is simple; "With the explosion in media, our attention spans seem to be morphing daily, and as a result the average Joe and Jane are starting to talk to each other in soundbites - and sooner or later they're going to want one or two from you! What then? And I'm not talking about selling a movie or a book here, I'm mean, just the art of conversation. And that includes your clients, your boss and even your best friend!"

Murphy's book INTERVIEW TACTICS! HOW TO SURVIVE THE MEDIA WITHOUT GETTING CLOBBERED! is the ultimate 'how-to' guide to getting your message/product/service out to an over-saturated media world - in a media friendly way. INTERVIEW TACTICS! is a 'must have' for anyone even thinking about doing press, plus it's an extremely valuable tool for packaging your message in an effective streamlined way.

Over the course of her award-winning broadcasting career, she has worked for some of the most well respected news organizations, including ABC News, BBC, AP Radio and E! Murphy also spent 17 years on-air in Southern California at KLOS.

Murphy, who has interviewed thousands of the world's biggest celebrities and newsmakers, concludes that when it comes to doing press, "Being interviewed (by anyone) isn't easy and not everyone is good at it. But with the kind of insider advice and media know-how laid out INTERVIEW TACTICS! even the most media-shy among us can survive and flourish in a room full of microphones."

"And," says Murphy, "that's not exclusive to Hollywood types either. It's authors, inventors, life-style gurus, celebrity chefs, financial advisors, designers, consultants, decorators, lawyers, scientists and do-it-yourselfers. All of whom I call, 'The Experts Next Door.' And if they can't tell it, they can't sell it."
