About a Home Child is published by the fab @cormorantbooks.bsky.social
@parentclub.bsky.socialA few International Literacy Day activities for you to do with the young readers in your life...
- Read a book together
- Read a recipe out loud and cook together
- Write a story together
- Play a card came for pattern recognition
Other suggestions?...
@parentclub.bsky.socialPicture book question...authors do you note the page spreads in your manuscript or no page numbers at all and let the publisher decide?
@parentclub.bsky.socialWhen you see an author's book promot post don't jump to judge. We just want to buy groceries, fulfill obligations, and be successful enought so that we can keep writing.
@parentclub.bsky.socialWe are contractually obliged. Author promotion is a standard clause in book contracts. So...
@parentclub.bsky.socialEvery job has uncomfortable bits. And most authors find promoting uncomfortable, stressful, and even cringy. Did you know?...
@parentclub.bsky.socialBooks pay for our groceries...and because
@parentclub.bsky.socialIt's because it's really hard to stand out when there are so many books out in the world...and also because...
@parentclub.bsky.socialIt's not like we think we're all that and a bag of chips...
@parentclub.bsky.socialMy friend @debbieohi.com suggested I post on bluesky something I recently posted on Instagram regarding authors promoting their own books...posting it here now...
Let me know if you can relate....
@parentclub.bsky.socialIt's really hard to stand out when there are so many books in the world... 3/7
@parentclub.bsky.socialSo...sorrynotsorry for all the book release posts lately. It's a have-to. It's uncomfortable and cringy and please know that I really don't think I'm all that and a bag of chips. Really.
Update: regarding the typo in the slides...think of it as a treasure hunt 🤦♀️
2/7
