@kellyhashway: I’ll be taking notes this evening.  Awesome topic. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: Setting up blog tours/virtual book tours. #kidlitchat
|

@kamikinard: I’m ready! #kidlitchat

@deegarretson: How many have you read? 2011 debut middle grade books: http://t.co/efWAdsYN #kidlitchat
|
|||
@KatGirl_Studio: @gregpincus ya really. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: I wasn’t a part of one of those ‘debut’ author groups as I was with a small press. I didn’t let that hold me back. #kidlitchat

@inkyelbows: RT @kidlitchat: TOPIC: What are your most effective launch strategies? How long before debut day do you start? #kidlitchat
|
|||
@gregpincus: @ixtumea So, when you say “setting up” blog tours, etc…. are you timing them with the release date? #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: Yes, it’s a little harder but totally doable. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@kamikinard: @ixtumea what were some of the things you did to set up blog tours? #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: @kamikinard @gregpincus Yes. I set the blog tours up before my book launch. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@nardinisisters: Hi All. We launched with giveaways on Goodreads.n #kidlitchat
|
|||
@MelissaRoske: RT @deegarretson: How many have you read? 2011 debut middle grade books: http://t.co/efWAdsYN #kidlitchat
|
|||
@kamikinard: @ixtumea How many did you schedule? How close together? #kidlitchat
|
|||
@Pkeod: Have not published a book yet. With games I usually spend a month before doing previews. Then really hype a week before launch. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@kamikinard: @nardinisisters was it easy to set up? #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: ayy. #kidlitchat

@debbieohi: RT @kidlitchat: TOPIC: What are your most effective launch strategies? How long before debut day do you start? #kidlitchat
|
|||
@kamikinard: @nardinisisters Did you find it successful? #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: @kamikinard Hmmm, they were like 3 years apart? The next one will be 2 years apart. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@KatGirl_Studio: @ixtumea how do you set up a blog tour? #kidlitchat
|
|||
@debbieohi: I started promoting the launch over a year before my book launch but um, I may be overly keen. =:-O #kidlitchat
|
|||
@LauraRenegar: Happy to be a fly on the wall at #kidlitchat .
|
|||
@ixtumea: @kamikinard Already planning for my next virtual book tour for NO GODDESSES ALLOWED. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@kamikinard: @ixtumea I meant how far apart were the appearances on blogs! #kidlitchat
|
|||
@gregpincus: @nardinisisters Did you get good response on Goodreads…and did you see a lot of people add your book to their shelves? #kidlitchat
|
|||
@BonnieAdamson: All of you with upcoming launches can start by announcing them tonight. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: @KatGirl_Studio I used a number of blog tours. I also used Pump Up Your Book virtual book tours. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@nardinisisters: @kamikinard Yes, very easy and it was successful. We had about 600+ people who entered the giveaway and we gave away 3 copies. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@deegarretson: I’m mostly lurking tonight, I’ve had two book launches but really didn’t know what I was doing, so not much good advice #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: For Crossed Out I had my launch at a couple places which included the library. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@gregpincus: @debbieohi I think a year in advance is great for a launch. And for a career launch, you start earlier! #kidlitchat
|
|||
@KatGirl_Studio: @gregpincus i did a good reads giveaway too had about 1500 people enter #kidlitchat
|
|||
@kamikinard: @nardinisisters Brilliant! Thanks! #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: @kamikinard Ooh. LOL. Depended on the tour. I had up to two visits a week. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@KatGirl_Studio: @ixtumea what’s that? #kidlitchat
|
|||
@kamikinard: @KatGirl_Studio Wow! #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: I know some traditional published authors use publicists. Too $$ for me right now. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@debbieohi: @gregpincus Trying to pace myself, tho. Don’t want people sick of hearing about the book too early. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@nardinisisters: @gregpincus Yes, alot did add it to their shelves. One of the giveaway winners (librarian) ended up giving us an amazing review. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: You can also set up your own virtual book tour. But I admit it, I’m lazy that way and will pay for someone to help. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@debbieohi: Since my launch isn’t until next Sept, I’ll mostly be lurking in hopes of gleaning useful tips. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@jennymeyerhoff: Dropping in for my first #kidlitchat #Kidlitchat
|
|||
@deegarretson: @ixtumea trad. published here, but I couldn’t afford an outside publicist either #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: As a reviewer I’m getting more requests to hold off on the reviews until the book comes out. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@KatGirl_Studio: @ixtumea was it a good investment? #kidlitchat
|
|||
@SarahDarerLitt: Lisa Schroeder did a great post about the lead up to book launch: http://t.co/nzTGl9Qq #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: @KatGirl_Studio Yes. It was. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@SarahDarerLitt: @jennymeyerhoff Hi Jenny!!! #kidlitchat
|
|||
@MelissaRoske: Am lurking too. Can’t wait until I can use the words “book” and “launch” in the same sentence – and have them apply to ME! #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: @KatGirl_Studio I’m more into writing then doing the whole virtual book planning thing. #kidlitchat
|
|||
| @kellybarnhill: I’m curious to know if anyone watched their numbers (amazon, bookscan) to monitor the effectiveness of their launch strategies. #kidlitchat

|
|||
@KatGirl_Studio: @ixtumea cool i’ll have to look into them. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@kellybarnhill: I think it’s really cool to see what people *do*. And a lot of it looks super fun. But what *works*? #kidlitchat
|
|||
@AnnStampler: #kidlitchat @debbieohi How early is too early?n #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: @kamikinard Dorothy put together my virtual book tour using YA bloggers. I also was scheduled for a radio chat. #kidlitchat

|
|||
@MelissaRoske: @SarahDarerLitt RT great post about the lead up to book launch: http://t.co/u0O3xeeJ #kidlitchat <– helpful! Thanks!
|
|||
@swkehoe: @SarahDarerLitt @Lisa_Schroeder’s book launch check list is the best! http://t.co/KkNKeIdY #kidlitchat
|
|||
@andietwbas: RT @SarahDarerLitt: Lisa Schroeder did a great post about the lead up to book launch: http://t.co/nzTGl9Qq #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: Like I mentioned before, you can do your own virtual book tour. I know authors who do this. I rather spend my time elsewhere. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@dianezahler: I’m doing my own, but it’s a lot of work. RT @ixtumea: You can also set up your own virtual book tour. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@gregpincus: @kellybarnhill I think finding metrics is important. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@debbieohi: @AnnStampler I’m prob the wrong person to ask. I start promoting the book/launch as soon as I start working on it. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@jennymeyerhoff: @kellybarnhill I watched my numbers during blog tour. Way up. But you can’t blog tour forever. #Kidlitchat
|
|||
@delzey: mmm, metrics RT @kellybarnhill: anyone watch their numbers (amazon, bookscan) to monitor effectiveness of launch strategies. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@jamesburksart: @SarahDarerLitt thanks for the link. #kidlitchat

@ixtumea: RT @swkehoe: @SarahDarerLitt @Lisa_Schroeder’s book launch check list is the best! http://t.co/KkNKeIdY #kidlitchat
|
|||
@SarahDarerLitt: I used an outside publicist for the 1st time with WTGP – but it’s my fourth book, my most commercial, so it was worth it. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@AnnStampler: Sorry gang, my messages seem to be repeating…and repeating… #kidlitchat
|
|||
@gregpincus: @debbieohi @triciajobrien The art is in not talking about the book… while reminding folks of the book #kidlitchat
|
|||
@debbieohi: RT @SarahDarerLitt: Lisa Schroeder did a great post about the lead up to book launch: http://t.co/Z1DGezWs #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: Yes, @lisa_Schroeder has a great list too. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@debbieohi: Very true-> RT @gregpincus: The art is in not talking about the book… while reminding folks of the book #kidlitchat
|
|||
@LaurelSnyder: @kellybarnhill Honestly, I think the biggest effect of many “launch strategies” is to keep the author (me) energized & excited. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@AnnStampler: Still not completely clear on what a publicist does that the publisher doesn’t. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: @debbieohi No, you need to talk up your book. All the time. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: RT @LaurelSnyder: @kellybarnhill Honestly, I think the biggest effect of many “launch strategies” is to keep the author (me) energized & excited. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@debbieohi: @jennymeyerhoff When you say numbers were up during blog tour, do you mean book sales? Or traffic? #kidlitchat
|
|||
@nardinisisters: We also sent press releases to our local papers and our hometown paper. People are excited to buy books from those they know. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@kellybarnhill: @jennymeyerhoff True. It’s all about the long game, right? Building relationships as opposed to flashing the proverbial pan. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@LaurelSnyder: @AnnStampler Ann, they mean and outside publicist. SOmeone you’d hire in addition to the publicist at your press #kidlitchat
|
|||
@debbieohi: RT @LaurelSnyder Honestly, I think the biggest effect of many “launch strategies” is to keep the author energized & excited. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@Jane_George: @gregpincus True. Having friends retweet book reviews for you works better. Gives added veracity. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@SCBWICarolinas: There’s a #kidlitchat going on right now about book tours & other strategies for book launches.

@KristaHolle: Hi everyone. Sorry I’m late. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@kellybarnhill: @LaurelSnyder So what was your favorite? #kidlitchat
|
|||
@jennymeyerhoff: @debbieohi sales. And traffic. Both. But the effect went away when tour was over #Kidlitchat
|
|||
@LaurelSnyder: The very best thing I did for Breadbox this fall was to skype with classes. No question about it. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: Also don’t forget Goodreads giveaways, Flamingnet, and other sites. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@JHHCanada: Sorry I’m late! Hi all! #kidlitchat
|
|||
@VLC_Photo: Blog tours? I rarely read them or am interested to read them. Doesn’t seem like anything new or cool enough. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: YA Books Central also will do giveaways for your book. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@debbieohi: @ixtumea I think it depends on venue/context. I think it IS possible to overdo book promotion. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@dianezahler: @LaurelSnyder Best in what way? For you, for sales, for kids, all? #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: @VLC_Photo Blog tours do help those who are with small press. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@kellyhashway: @LaurelSnyder How did you set up all the Skype visits? Did you contact the schools? #kidlitchat
|
|||
@AnnStampler: @LaurelSnyder w/a publisher that’s actively involved in launching, not sure what outside publicist would be adding. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@kellybarnhill: @LaurelSnyder And how did you set that up? Did teachers come to you? #kidlitchat
|
|||
@debbieohi: Thx->RT @jennymeyerhoff: @debbieohi sales. And traffic. Both. But the effect went away when tour was over #kidlitchat
|
|||
@LaurelSnyder: Well, and when you’re simply reminding people who know you to buy a book, you’re getting the sales NOW, might’ve bought anyway. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: @debbieohi Yes, that’s true too. I hate those who just talk about their book and nothing else. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@KristaHolle: @JHHCanada I was late too. Nice to have company.  #kidlitchat
|
|||
@SarahDarerLitt: @AnnStampler In my case I chose publicist who was online focused – b/cmy book dealt w/online issues. Did web ad campaign 1/2 #kidlitchat
|
|||
@VLC_Photo: yes bc it brings awareness but big 6? ehh idk if it’s helpfulRT @ixtumea: Blog tours do help those who are with small press. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@KatGirl_Studio: @ixtumea really, cool. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@jennymeyerhoff: @LaurelSnyder and what did you do to let people know you were available for skyping #Kidlitchat
|
|||
@deegarretson: @debbieohi yes, I agree, I’ve had friends say they unfollow people on Twitter if too many tweets are all promotion #kidlitchat
|
|||
@debbieohi: Me too->RT @ixtumea: @debbieohi Yes, thats true too. I hate those who just talk about their book and nothing else. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@JHHCanada: @KristaHolle Thanks! And I’m dying to hear about this because my first PB comes out this fall. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: @VLC_Photo Hey, one day I’ll be with one of those big 6 but right now? I swear by blog/virtual book tours. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@LaurelSnyder: @kellybarnhill I posted this: http://t.co/JUILYLz1 and then tweeted and Facebooked the link. That’s it! #kidlitchat
|
|||

@LauraRenegar: RT @ixtumea: YA Books Central also will do giveaways for your book. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@LaurelSnyder: @AnnStampler Oh, lots do it. B/c your house publicist is promoting SO MANY books each season. They send a BOX of books out. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@debbieohi: @deegarretson I also mute Facebook streams that are too promo-heavy. And G+ streams. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: What do you who self-pub do? #kidlitchat
|
|||
@AnnStampler: @VLC_Photo I’m w/ a big 6 & they seem to be set up to support the blog tour extensively. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@delzey: @LaurelSnyder (and other multi-pubbed writers): what did you do/wish you did on DEBUT book? #kidlitchat
|
|||
@KristaHolle: @deegarretson Is there a magic formula for how many tweets are too many tweets? Sounds silly, but I’m serious. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@kamikinard: @SarahDarerLitt How far in advance did you contract your publicist? #kidlitchat
|
|||
@jennymeyerhoff: It seems a though the strategies that are going to work best will vary with age range of book, no? Is sky ping best for mg? #Kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: I have friends who have the whole marketing thing in their contracts and this helps tons. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@DeborahFreedman: @gregpincus @nardinisisters I just noticed this conversation and had to jump in and say that I got a huge response on Goodreads. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@debbieohi: RT @delzey: @LaurelSnyder (and other multi-pubbed writers): what did you do/wish you did on DEBUT book? #kidlitchat
|
|||
@LynneKelly: @AnnStampler For many books, publishers aren’t that actively involved in promotion & such. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@maggiedana: New blog for authors of kids’ ebooks is actively looking for authors to promote Kindles for Kids: http://t.co/0OsJRbZM #kidlitchat
|
|||
@thebookcellarx: @VLC_Photo I like them as long as it’s not the same thing over & over or interviews filled w/ ?s I could get answers by googling #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: @DeborahFreedman I also had a huge response from Good reads. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@kamikinard: @KristaHolle I’d love to know about the magic tweet # too! #kidlitchat
|
@nardinisisters: @ixtumea We are self-pubbed. We did Goodreads giveaway, Facebook, our Website and Twitter. We are selling like crazy. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@debbieohi: RT @DeborahFreedman: I just noticed this conversation and had to jump in and say that I got a huge response on Goodreads. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@LaurelSnyder: @delzey I harassed everyone I knew into interviewing me on their blogs, hit up local small press. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@SarahDarerLitt: @kamikinard March for August 1st pub date. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@kellybarnhill: @LaurelSnyder You are my hero. What a great idea! (and exhausting!) #kidlitchat
|
|||
@deegarretson: @delzey I wasn’t on Twitter for the 1st book, also didn’t really understand reviews on blogs needed so much advance time. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@debbieohi: @DeborahFreedman How do you use Goodreads? e.g. giveaways? comments? etc. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@AnnStampler: @LynneKelly I’ve had both publisher involvement & (cough) less involvement w/ PB’s, but YA is a whole new world. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: @VLC_Photo It would be great to be one of those ‘big’ name authors but we all have to start somewhere. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@Jane_George: @ixtumea GoodReads giveaway, blog tours, same stuff. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@jamesburksart: @LaurelSnyder I might have to try skyping with classes. Seems like a great idea. Thanks. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@IshtaWrites: @AnnStampler Hi all! Sorry I’m late. Can you tell us what you mean by a publisher “supporting the blog tour extensively”? #kidlitchat
|
|||
@TeenageRead: We are a new YA Book website, run by and for teens, and we’d love if all of you in the #kidlitchat would check us out!
|
|||
@VLC_Photo: Creativity gets you far. Gets people interested and start people talking about your book. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@LaurelSnyder: @jennymeyerhoff I think classroom skyping is great for MG, but can work for all ages. Book clubs for YA, for instance. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@KristaHolle: @kamikinard Yes. I tweet about my upcoming book, but I’m fearful I’ll over-tweet and drive people away. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@deegarretson: @kamikinard @kristaholle I don’t know about the magic no. of tweets, I’m more easygoing than the ones who unfollow #kidlitchat
|
|||
@KatGirl_Studio: @nardinisisters what do you do on your facebook? #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: RT @LaurelSnyder: @jennymeyerhoff I think classroom skyping is great for MG, but can work for all ages. Book clubs for YA, for instance. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@AnnStampler: @DeborahFreedman Did you have specific things you did to foster the goodreads response?n #kidlitchat
|
|||
@WaldenPondPress: Hi all! Sorry I’m late – I’ve been looking forward to this chat!n #kidlitchat
|
|||
@kamikinard: @deegarretson I hear you! #kidlitchat
|
|||
@nardinisisters: @kamikinard I read that for every tweet about your book, you should tweet 10-15 other tweets in between not book related. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@LaurelSnyder: @kellybarnhill It was really really fun, not nearly as tiring as it sounds. Short bursts, and the kids are so fun/easy. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@delzey: @LaurelSnyder wish you did something different? in addition that you only realized later? #kidlitchat
|
|||
@KristaHolle: @LaurelSnyder I’ve done this too. Guest blogging has worked well to get the word out for me. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@KatGirl_Studio: @TeenageRead i will after the chat =^.^= #kidlitchat
|
|||
@kamikinard: @nardinisisters That’s fair! #kidlitchat
|
|||
@LynneKelly: @KatGirl_Studio Amazing response! Thanks, wasn’t sure if most people do giveaways around release time or before. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@LaurelSnyder: @WaldenPondPress You’re here! HERE is someone with creative ideas about publicity!!! #kidlitchat
|
|||
@JennBailey: How about looking for related events and promoting along side, especially non-fiction books. ex., War books on veterans day #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: @LynneKelly I do both. Before and after release date. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@kellybarnhill: @KristaHolle @kamikinard I think there’s a balance. We’re on twitter to engage broadly. There’s more too us than just our books. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@AnnStampler: I’m finding YA bloggers in the age demographic very committed,enthusiastic & willing to reach out. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@WaldenPondPress: From a publisher perspective (caveat: we are different – a co-published imprint that only pubs 6-10 books/year) #kidlitchat
|
|||
@kellybarnhill: @KristaHolle @kamikinard In the end, the twitter stream becomes a picture of the brain that built the book. And that’s cool too. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@LaurelSnyder: @delzey Hmmm. Goodreads and Twitter (etc) didn’t exist. 3 years is a “long time.” I spent money I shouldn’t have on travel. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@nardinisisters: @KatGirl_Studio We told our friends and family about upcoming book and asked them to repost to their friends. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@maggiedana: I unfollow authors who tweet too much about their books. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@deegarretson: I have a site to link to writers’ discussion guides for book clubs, get me the info and I’ll post it: http://t.co/kbpm7xKn #kidlitchat
|
|||
@alybee930: @WaldenPondPress Yes but you connect well with you bloggers #kidlitchat

|||
@debbieohi: RT @WaldenPondPress: From publisher perspective (caveat: we are different – a co-published imprint that only pubs 6-10 bks/yr) #kidlitchat
|
|||
@delzey: @nardinisisters i am more interested in a book others are tweeting about & less interested in seeing promo tweets from authors #kidlitchat
|
|||
@ixtumea: Remember not too long ago ppl didn’t think much of ebooks either. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@KristaHolle: I saw a give away. To enter they drawing you had to buy the ebook on Amazon. Is that a good way to do a giveaway? #kidlitchat
|
|||
@KatGirl_Studio: @nardinisisters ah #kidlitchat
|
|||
@SarahDarerLitt: Think of Twitter like a drinks party – you don’t go to a party & right away start n”ME ME ME my book”. You have to schmooze. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@debbieohi: RT @AnnStampler: Im finding YA bloggers in the age demographic very committed,enthusiastic & willing to reach out. #kidlitchat
|
|||
@maggiedana: Good to have others tweet about your books. Not so good if you tweet about them yourself. #kidlitchat

|
|||

|
|||
@kamikinard: @deegarretson Very cool offer. #kidlitchat
|

@nardinisisters: @KatGirl_Studio We also have a fan facebook page for our book. We don’t get alot of traffic on it, we get more on our wesite. #kidlitchat

@LynneKelly: @LaurelSnyder Do you charge for your Skype visits? I’ve heard some charge & some do them free. No travel, but still takes time. #kidlitchat
|

@AnnStampler: @maggiedana God yes, the whole shmoozing for dollars thing is incredibly annoying. I run for the door. #kidlitchat

@debbieohi: RT @deegarretson: I’ve site to link to writers discussion guides for book clubs, get me info & Ill post it: http://t.co/8FWjRdk9 #kidlitchat

@ixtumea: I’m also a reviewer and do volunteer to help other YA authors with blog tours and contests. #kidlitchat
|
@debbieohi: RT @maggiedana: Good to have others tweet about your books. Not so good if you tweet about them yourself. #kidlitchat
|
@jennymeyerhoff: @LaurelSnyder Yes, some event I found really worth paying my own expenses to go to, but I do way less of that now. #Kidlitchat
|
@HarperCollins: Join the conversation now at #kidlitchat!
|
@WaldenPondPress: We start our campaigns about 6 months out from launch and use social media, Goodreads, blog tours, giveaways, Twitter sweeps #kidlitchat
|
@maggiedana: @SarahDarerLitt Schmooze + twitter = Twooze? #kidlitchat
|
@debbieohi: RT @maggiedana: I unfollow authors who tweet too much about their books. #kidlitchat
|
@LauraRenegar: RT @delzey: @nardinisisters i am more interested in a book others are tweeting about & less interested in seeing promo tweets from authors #kidlitchat
|
@KatGirl_Studio: @JennBailey I was going to ask the same thing. #kidlitchat
|
@deegarretson: @kamikinard It’s new, so I still need more content, but I think it will help authors #kidlitchat
|
@DeborahFreedman: @debbieohi Yes, a giveaway. SO easy, and 1100 people signed up, with many adding to their “to read” lists. So great exposure. #kidlitchat
|
@KristaHolle: @JennBailey The prize was an ereader. And I agree with you…it sounded odd when I read the details. #kidlitchat
|
@TeenageRead: @_BeckyTaylor_ Of course!nOur website is http://t.co/6D88CUiz for all those in the #kidlitchat who want to check it out!
|
@VLC_Photo: Try to engage your readers as much as possible. Got a trailer? tease it, do a contest on someone debuting it. Cover? Do a hunt. #kidlitchat
|
@LynneKelly: @LaurelSnyder Also, what did you find was the best way to let teachers know about your Skype visits? #kidlitchat
|
@Koppelmom: Consider short Book Discussion Guides for free distribution at conferences for teachers. #kidlitchat
|
@SheriABell: Yo, @PolkaDotBanner authors, jump on the #kidlitchat going on right now!
|
@JHHCanada: @debbieohi Great! #kidlitchat
|
@AnnStampler: @alybee930 Not down on the idea of shmoozing at all, but of very, very thinly veiled relentless promotion. #kidlitchat
|
@VLC_Photo: No one likes to be talked to or force fed information. #kidlitchat
|
@SarahDarerLitt: And then, your book might come up naturally in the conversation, just as it would at a party. #kidlitchat
|
@KristaHolle: @maggiedana Did you make that up? #kidlitchat
|
@ixtumea: One thing I hate: Getting .pdf files through my website from authors. At least email me first. #kidlitchat
|
@LaurelSnyder: @jennymeyerhoff But it is SO HARD to know before you get there. #kidlitchat
|
@WaldenPondPress: And work with our authors to set up Skype visits, social media profiles, local bookstore/school events, etc. #kidlitchat

@LaurelSnyder: Oh! I know! If you are going to travel for an event, find a school to visit while you’re there. I ddin’t do that at first. #kidlitchat
|
@maggiedana: @KristaHolle Twooze? Yes. #kidlitchat
|
@WaldenPondPress: That’s very kind of you to say – thanks! We try RT @alybee930: @WaldenPondPress Yes but you connect well with you bloggers #kidlitchat

@SarahDarerLitt: @maggiedana : ) #kidlitchat
|
@AnnStampler: @DeborahFreedman When did you do your giveaway in relation to the release date? #kidlitchat
|
@debbieohi: @DeborahFreedman Thanks – I’ve heard others praise Goodreads giveaways as great promo. Will have to check it out. #kidlitchat

@WaldenPondPress: @mundiemoms @alybee930 – You guys are making me blush #kidlitchat

|
@SarahDarerLitt: RT @jennymeyerhoff: I actually hired a mom from the neighborhood to call schools and get more school visits. It paid for itself. #kidlitchat

@LaurelSnyder: @kamikinard If you’re nice, and friendly, and not pushy, I think people are generally happy to show interest. #kidlitchat
|
@DeborahFreedman: @AnnStampler Hmmm… I think I did it a month+ ahead. Most of the people signed up in the last few days though. #kidlitchat
|
@jennymeyerhoff: @nardinisisters love my local librarians! #Kidlitchat
|
@WaldenPondPress: A launch campaign doesn’t start when your book is in stores – it starts w/the relationships you build in the months prior. #kidlitchat
|
@maggiedana: Plenty of mentions tonight for YA blog tour stuff. What about MG? #kidlitchat
|
@nardinisisters: @ixtumea Mine too! #kidlitchat

@kamikinard: @LaurelSnyder I’m more worried about being awkward! #kidlitchat
|
@WaldenPondPress: @deegarretson You can reach out to your local stores through social media, sometimes it’s easier to break the ice that way. #kidlitchat
|
@nardinisisters: @KristaHolle Yes, and setting up booksigning there. #kidlitchat
|
@debbieohi: RT @WaldenPondPress: A launch campaign starts w/the relationships you build in the months prior, not when bk is in stores. #kidlitchat
|
@KatGirl_Studio: I give out an e-review copy to any blogger who emails me. #kidlitchat
|
@LaurelSnyder: Oh, yes! It’s all about attitude. And authors who do this should also SHOP while in the store. @rachelnseigel #kidlitchat
|
@ixtumea: @JHHCanada Lots! They stocked my book, had me sell my book and do a signing, and have been very supportive. #kidlitchat
|
@delzey: @WaldenPondPress can we hear a little more about these relationships and how they get cultivated? #kidlitchat
|
@debbieohi: RT @WaldenPondPress: You can reach out to your local stores through social media, sometimes easier to break the ice that way. #kidlitchat
|
@AnnStampler: @DeborahFreedman Did you do anything beyond putting the book on the goodreads giveaway list, or did your audience just find it? #kidlitchat
|
@yaytime: @LaurelSnyder I’m still scared to death to talk to people who work at stores I don’t already have a relationship with! #kidlitchat
|
@LaurelSnyder: But you know what– awkward is endearing. Just be YOU. Not phony or pushy. @kamikinard #kidlitchat
|
@Deborahkops: @LynneKelly @LaurelSnyder Some booksellers prefer softer sell than a request to order book. Maybe just a hello & press release. #kidlitchat
|
@JennBailey: It’s why I’m a strong believer in establishing a presence BEFORE publishing. Macy’s didn’t sell the dress then build the store. #kidlitchat

|
@kamikinard: Amen. RT @KristaHolle: @yaytime Authors are not known to be extroverts. We have to be to promote our work. #kidlitchat
|
@delzey: yeah, as a former bookseller, asking a store (esp an indie) to order a book you aren’t buying can actually hurt them #kidlitchat
|
@dianezahler: @yaytime As embarrassing as it feels, whenever I’ve gone in a bookstore to ask about my books, booksellers always seem glad. #kidlitchat
|
@deegarretson: @LaurelSnyder @rachelseigel I tend just to creep around and buy stuff, hope that’s endearing! #kidlitchat
|
@LaurelSnyder: Sure. I think you need to read the store. But many places you can ask politely if they’d consider it. @Deborahkops @LynneKelly #kidlitchat
|
@WaldenPondPress: @deegarretson I know what you mean – sometimes after speaking with a few people, you get the hang of it #kidlitchat

|
@IshtaWrites: Chatted with local wholesaler who said writers should devel relationships with ppl like her who sell to schools, libraries, etc. #kidlitchat

@LaurelSnyder: I think approaching schools/bookstores/libraries works best when you remember project is books+kids. All on one team. Not SALES. #kidlitchat
|
@rachelnseigel: @deegarretson @LaurelSnyder #kidlitchat That’s perfectly fine. Many local authors with kids used to shop in the store. It was nice!

@jennymeyerhoff: @kamikinard I do a reading, q&a or with younger kids act out/readers theater #Kidlitchat
|
@HungerMtn: RT @ek_anderson: I guest posted today at the ALSC blog on social networking and the reading/writing community: http://t.co/Udu9YZie #yalitchat #kidlitchat

@Miranda_Paul: I’m late tonight. What’s going on? Fill me in someone (pretty please). #kidlitchat
|
@Deborahkops: @DeborahFreedman Say more! What did you do with the literacy org? Was it a benefit? #kidlitchat
|
@ixtumea: RT @LynneKelly: @LaurelSnyder Great idea about bookstore shopping; a bookseller set up my launch party while I was in an author’s signing line! #kidlitchat
|
@ixtumea: @LynneKelly Now that’s called seizing a moment! #kidlitchat
|
@deegarretson: @kamikinard I gave away a whole bunch of other books related to mine, called it a wolfpack of a giveaway for Wolf Storm #kidlitchat
|
@Koppelmom: Sounds corny but service orgs like Rotary are always looking for speakers who rep different career paths. #kidlitchat
|
@dianezahler: I sign “Happy Reading!” Lame, but…RT @DeborahFreedman: @JHHCanada I draw something! #kidlitchat
|
@kamikinard: @jennymeyerhoff Thanks !!!! #kidlitchat
|
@WaldenPondPress: Yes – give back. RT @Koppelmom:Pay it forward. When you share talents freely, people want to support & ensure your success. #kidlitchat
|
@AnnStampler: @SarahDarerLitt Actually, I find some disapproval in some quarters about doing free stuff. (Which I do. A lot.) #kidlitchat
|
@KatGirl_Studio: @Miranda_Paul we’re talking about book launches. #kidlitchat
|
@DeborahFreedman: @KatGirl_Studio A nonprofit tutoring and kindgergarten-readiness program. They had never had an author visit before. #kidlitchat
|
@debbieohi: RT @AnnStampler: Im finding listservs extremely supportive as well as helpful w/ specific info and events. #kidlitchat
|
@ixtumea: @AnnStampler I think maybe it’s the ones who give away their books all the time? #kidlitchat
|
@IshtaWrites: @Miranda_Paul We’re talking marketing strategy. #kidlitchat
|
@kamikinard: @deegarretson Great idea. I was thinking of pairing my fiction book with some NF books about the sub… glad it worked for you! #kidlitchat
|
@LaurelSnyder: @LynneKelly I have. Probably not enough. But like, when I go visit my parents I do, because I know the area pretty well. #kidlitchat
|
@KatGirl_Studio: what do you all sign in your books? #kidlitchat
|
@yaytime: @jennymeyerhoff @kamikinard awesome! I love when author events are more than just book signings. #kidlitchat
|
@susankayequinn: @AnnStampler Disapproval about doing free author visits? Or other free stuff? #kidlitchat
|
@delzey: does it make more sense to get the word out with adults who buy, or kids who read and reccomend? is MG different than YA promo? #kidlitchat
|
@LaurelSnyder: @Koppelmom Likewise nursing homes, I’ve heard (but haven’t done one yet) #kidlitchat
|
@nardinisisters: @ixtumea Love Bookmarkers! Great resource tool! #kidlitchat
|
@Miranda_Paul: @KatGirl_Studio Thanks. #kidlitchat
|
@maggiedana: How about having appropriate stickers printed up to put on title page, then sign your name? #kidlitchat
|
@ixtumea: I drop off my bookmarkers at local library. Big hit. #kidlitchat
|
@susankayequinn: @delzey I think MG is tougher than YA, because a lot of adults will read YA #kidlitchat
|
@jennymeyerhoff: @KatGirl_Studio different phrase for each book that fits the topic. #Kidlitchat
|
@ixtumea: @LisaDez Don’t feel bad. I do that too. #kidlitchat
|
@JHHCanada: @maggiedana I like the idea of stickers for the title page. #kidlitchat
|
@kamikinard: @maggiedana Stickers are always great. Does anyone use bookplates? #kidlitchat
|
@rachelnseigel: @delzey I’d say in YA, you reach the teens directly. In MG, it’s often parents who will select 4 kids so reach both. #kidlitchat
|
@AnnStampler: @ixtumea Actually, some real disapproval of going to schools that don’t have a budget & not charging.I understnd but don’t agree #kidlitchat
|
@WaldenPondPress: @AnnStampler – The Verla Kay Blue Boards are a good network as well. #kidlitchat
|
@maggiedana: @susankayequinn ***waves***n #kidlitchat
|
@Miranda_Paul: @IshtaWrites Thanks #kidlitchat
|
@DeborahFreedman: @Deborahkops For the launch, I read, did an art demo, raffled off books; they had a live chicken & art activities, etc. Fun! #kidlitchat
|
@SarahDarerLitt: @annstampler I wasn’t talking about author visits as much as advice/help to new authors, paying it forward, etc. #kidlitchat
|
@KatGirl_Studio: @ixtumea I was thinking of doing that with my extra bookmarks. #kidlitchat
|
@JHHCanada: @kamikinard Like from Chapters/Indigo, right? #kidlitchat
|
@KristaHolle: @kamikinard Book plates? #kidlitchat
|
@JennBailey: We had a local author wrote non-fiction PB about Jazz musician. Hooked into local jazz museum, etc. and got Smithsonian invite. #kidlitchat
|
@ixtumea: @AnnStampler I’d do a signing at a school. When I was a teacher I was in charge of signing up author visits. #kidlitchat
|
@debbieohi: RT @rachelnseigel: Id say in YA, you reach the teens directly. In MG, its often parents who will select 4 kids so reach both. #kidlitchat
|
@susankayequinn: @maggiedana Hey there!! Fancy meeting you here. #kidlitchat
|
@nardinisisters: @KatGirl_Studio Our book is about DARES, so we sign it “Dare To Dream Big!” #kidlitchat
|
@Deborahkops: @nardinisisters You love bookmarks why? (Having some made) #kidlitchat
|
@maggiedana: RT @JHHCanada: @maggiedana I like the idea of stickers for the title page. // Me too. I just thought of it! #kidlitchat
|
@debbieohi: RT @WaldenPondPress: @AnnStampler – The Verla Kay Blue Boards are a good network as well. #kidlitchat
|
@kamikinard: @AnnStampler Why would there be disapproval of that? #kidlitchat
|
@jennymeyerhoff: @kamikinard I know someone who uses a stamp, then signs under the stamped picture #Kidlitchat
|
@JHHCanada: @jennymeyerhoff Great idea! *taking notes* #kidlitchat
|
@AnnStampler: @susankayequinn Let’s discuss elsewhere, but visits. School & lib. #kidlitchat
|
@Koppelmom: @LaurelSnyder Good books span all ages! #kidlitchat
|
@maggiedana: Pssst … don’t tell @susankayequinn, but her cover art and bookmarks are awesome! #kidlitchat
|
@gregpincus: @DeborahFreedman Thanks for the info. #kidlitchat
|
@susankayequinn: @Deborahkops I use bookmarks for everything. #kidlitchat
|
@kamikinard: @jennymeyerhoff Allan Gratz uses a cool stamp. But you can mail a bookplate… so I was wondering…. #kidlitchat
|
@WaldenPondPress: @delzey W/ MG we are still very focused on the gatekeepers; w/YA there can be more a direct connection #kidlitchat
|
@dianezahler: @jennymeyerhoff I like that! #kidlitchat
|
@KatGirl_Studio: @jennymeyerhoff That’s a cool idea i actually know of a stamp marker shop near me. #kidlitchat
|
@Miranda_Paul: @AnnStampler @ixtumea Our school organized 3 “free” author visits 1 yr but authors sold a lot of copies and received a gift card #kidlitchat
|
@deegarretson: @kamikinard I made some bookplates for my first, plan to for second, some artwork I did, then reduced #kidlitchat
|
@WaldenPondPress: RT @Deborahkops For the launch, I read, did an art demo, raffled off books; they had a live chicken & art activities, etc. Fun! #kidlitchat
|
@jodyfeldman: agree @rachelnseigel @delzey YA, reach teens directly. MG, it’s often parents who will select 4 kids so reach both. #kidlitchat #kidlitchat
|
@debbieohi: RT @WaldenPondPress: @delzey W/ MG we are still very focused on the gatekeepers; w/YA there can be more a direct connection #kidlitchat
|
@JHHCanada: At what point do the costs of promotion outweigh the money you make off your book? #kidlitchat
|
@susankayequinn: @maggiedana Thanks hon! #kidlitchat
|
@AnnStampler: @kamikinard I think because many authors rely on $visits to be able to keep writing & feel undercut.But if the school has no $.. #kidlitchat
|
@gregpincus: @kamikinard There’s disapproval because some folks make good money doing school visits. Does this change the market? #kidlitchat
|
@ixtumea: @Miranda_Paul Our author visits were huge hits. Sold tons of books. The most popular? When authors engaged kids. #kidlitchat
|
@kamikinard: @JHHCanada I don’t know… I searched today , but couldn’t find them. Will check them out. #kidlitchat
|
@jennymeyerhoff: @kamikinard yes! Very hard to send ink thru mail. #Kidlitchat
|
@jodyfeldman: Also MG, focus on librarians, booksellers, teachers as well as parents #kidlitchat
|
@ixtumea: @Miranda_Paul One drew illustrations for the students and gave them out. One of my students got one. Huge hit. #kidlitchat
|
@SarahDarerLitt: @Deborahkops Bookmarks are great at school visits when some kids can’t afford to buy book but can go away w/a signed BM #kidlitchat
|
@debbieohi: RT @ixtumea: @Miranda_Paul Our author visits were huge hits. Sold tons of books. The most popular? When authors engaged kids. #kidlitchat
|
@ixtumea: @Miranda_Paul Another one brought his rejections and showed he got them too. #kidlitchat
|
@susankayequinn: @JHHCanada I think you have to be careful about money for promotion. I’m keeping a P&L for my book #kidlitchat
|
@jennymeyerhoff: RT @jodyfeldman: Also MG, focus on librarians, booksellers, teachers as well as parents #Kidlitchat
|
@Deborahkops: @susankayequinn You mean you give them out everywhere? Figure they are better than postcards b/c fit in guys. wallets. #kidlitchat
|
@DeborahFreedman: @gregpincus You are welcome! I think a Goodreads giveaway is a no-brainer. #kidlitchat
|
@debbieohi: RT @SarahDarerLitt: Bookmarks are great at school visits when some kids cant afford to buy book but can go away w/a signed BM #kidlitchat
|
@AnnStampler: @gregpincus I’d argue no, if the school was not, in fact, able to pay someone else. A la pro bono legal services. #kidlitchat
|
@deegarretson: @gregpincus @kamikinard I think it depends on state, in my state public schools are broke, I do free visits locally #kidlitchat
|
@susankayequinn: THIS. @jodyfeldman: Also MG, focus on librarians, booksellers, teachers as well as parents #kidlitchat
|
@kamikinard: @gregpincus @AnnStampler Oh!!!! I’m not sure anyone makes great $ here in SC with Author visits! Sadly… #kidlitchat
|
@KatGirl_Studio: @SarahDarerLitt i give out a lot of signed bookmarks at festivals and conventions. #kidlitchat
|
@WaldenPondPress: RT @ixtumea: @Miranda_Paul Our author visits were huge hits. Sold tons of books. The most popular? When authors engaged kids. #kidlitchat
|
@earthwards: Tons of expert info for writers re: book launches, promo, Skype visits and more from the #kidlitchat hashtag tonight!
|
@JHHCanada: @susankayequinn Good idea. Keep track of each book, that way. Smaaaaart. #kidlitchat
|
@LynneKelly: #kidlitchat I loved this book club kit contest that Caroline Starr Rose did to spread the word about her book: http://t.co/IvO8ILsl
|
@kamikinard: @deegarretson I think we just said the same thing! #kidlitchat
|
@gregpincus: @annstampler. I’d agree. I think, too, that giving away visits might lead to more paid visits if the visits rock. #kidlitchat
|
@WaldenPondPress: Agreed – we do 1-2 for each book. RT @DeborahFreedman: @gregpincus I think a Goodreads giveaway is a no-brainer. #kidlitchat
|
@susankayequinn: @Deborahkops I put them in books (to give away), I hand them out to people I’m talking to, I mail them to friends to hand out. #kidlitchat
|
@AnnStampler: @SarahDarerLitt Signed, personalized postcards also great for kids who can’t buy books. #kidlitchat
|
@debbieohi: YA author @cynleitichsmith sends signed book plates by snailmail & mini buttons. I love mine. #kidlitchat
|
@rachelnseigel: @WaldenPondPress You need to send more of your authors to Canada! Get them here 4 big conferences. #kidlitchat
|
@nardinisisters: @Deborahkops They are colorful & have our website on it. We tell them to to go on website & read our 1st 2 chapters for free. #kidlitchat
|
@ixtumea: RT @debbieohi: YA author @cynleitichsmith sends signed book plates by snailmail & mini buttons. I love mine. #kidlitchat

|
@Miranda_Paul: @LaurelSnyder Great idea. I only have one (co-authored/edited) book in print but I Love to buy signed copies #kidlitchat
|
@LynneKelly: @kamikinard I plan to have cake balls at my launch. Not sure what else I’m doing. #FirstThingsFirst #kidlitchat
|
@WaldenPondPress: I see this popping up a lot, but I think it deserves another mention: Don’t underestimate what a Goodreads giveaway can do. #kidlitchat
|
@SarahDarerLitt: @debbieohi I bought some bookplates, too. That way if people can’t make a signing you can personalize book to them. #kidlitchat
|
@KatGirl_Studio: @SarahDarerLitt mine too. i give them out more than biz cards now. #kidlitchat
|
@dianezahler: Esp.if the economy rebounds…RT @gregpincus: @annstampler giving away visits might lead to more paid visits if the visits rock. #kidlitchat
|
@Deborahkops: @SarahDarerLitt Nice idea to sign bookmarks. The financial divide bet. kids who can & can’t afford to buy books is painful. #kidlitchat
|
@DeborahFreedman: @AnnStampler @gregpincus I go to urban schools, Head Start for free sometimes. But otherwise, no – not fair to other authors. #kidlitchat
|
@ixtumea: @LynneKelly Ooh, cake balls? Sounds fun! #kidlitchat
|

@dianezahler: At less affluent schools it makes a huge difference for the kids.RT @Deborahkops: @SarahDarerLitt Nice idea to sign bookmarks. #kidlitchat
|
@susankayequinn: @Deborahkops With the bookmark, they can take it to the library and check out the book? #kidlitchat
|
@debbieohi: @SarahDarerLitt I bought @cynleitichsmith’s books as ebooks but wanted the book plates anyway. Have them on display in office! #kidlitchat
|
@LaurelSnyder: @DeborahFreedman I will do n’hood schools for free. Also Title 1/schools in need. But not full day visits. B/c childcare costs. #kidlitchat
|
@LynneKelly: @deegarretson Ooh, I love your wolfpack giveaway idea! I should totally do an elephant herd giveaway of related books. #kidlitchat
|
@kamikinard: @AnnStampler Do you have a source for your bookplates or do you make your own? #kidlitchat
|
@rachelnseigel: @JHHCanada Congratulations! I’d like to b invited 2 speak there, but content myself with OLA. #kidlitchat

@yaytime: I guess no one makes promotional pogs anymore, huh? #kidlitchat
|
@Georgia_McBride: @gregpincus Thank you sir. #yalitchat #kidlitchat
