Goodnight, all--and thanks for sharing your experiences. Wishing each one of us a book to promote and audiences eager to listen. See you next time. #kidlitchat

... Oops! The shameless self-promo works better if you include the link for the thing you're promoting! Here's the information about my Selling Yourself (Without Selling Yourself Short) courses: vbartles.com/workshops/sy... #KidLitChat

I certainly can--I took four pages of notes!

Speaking of presentations, has anyone done one at a conference? Those "how the book got made" sessions were always some of my favorites. #kidlitchat

I'm so sorry about the bad day--give your daughter an extra hug from us. And thank you for the virtual treats, as always! #kidlitchat

It was nice. :-)
Kids love to draw. #kidlitchat

I did something similar--an illustrator friend secured a grant for three of us to be artists in residence at a local elementary school. It was fun--we were presenting to the art classes, so I read my book, and then we did drawings based on the characters. #kidlitchat

TOPIC: Let's talk school visits - getting 'em, planning 'em, doing 'em - and other presentations, too, from book fairs to anywhere else. What do you charge for? What do you do swag for? How do you tune a presentation? And what else?! #kidlitchat

Tuesday nights are always hugely validating. Thanks, all. I'll see you next time. #kidlitchat

It has always amazed and dismayed me to see how many adults who interact with kids do not like kids. #kidlitchat

She believed in you. That's priceless. #kidlitchat

So true. My family does that for me--they've convinced me they truly like what I do, and they won't let me make excuses, lol. #kidlitchat

Sounds like a plan. Good for you! #kidlitchat

That's a physics lesson, right there. #kidlitchat

Yikes. #kidlitchat

Oh, wow--how fun! #kidlitchat

Sigh. Same here. #kidlitchat

You, too! #kidlitchat
