# Electronic Press Kit (EPK) Template

An EPK is the one link you send to talent buyers, agents, journalists, festivals, and brands. Keep it current, keep it tight, and make every asset downloadable. Fill in every field below; delete the prompts once answered.

> **Format note:** This document is the source of truth. Mirror it into your hosted EPK (link-in-bio page, Linkfire/Laylo page, or a clean web page). Anything in the EPK should be true and verifiable — buyers and press will check.
