So much goes into getting a book ready for it’s big day: The Book Launch. And while you know that day is really only the beginning of making your book the success you know it can be, it’s a day to be savored, too. Our approach involves three steps. (Notice we don’t say easy steps, but at least there are just three.)<\/p>\n

1.  Get the word out.
\nWho ever does a good enough job of this? But you have to do your best. To help focus your efforts, take a look at John Kremer’s Book Launch 101 list of The Top Ten Most Important Priorities When Launching a New Book blog at www.bookmarket.com\/book-marketing-plan.htm<\/p>\n

2. Pull out all the stops.
\nBecause we specialize in children’s picture books, we print an oversized book for story-telling and get the artist to paint a demo. There are treats, handouts (activity books, bookmarks, buttons, etc.). And we bring a big, life-sized cutout of the central character for the book.<\/p>\n

3. Enjoy! To see the kids’ excitement and to have them engage with the message you want them to take away is worth everything. Adults, too—everybody loves a story.<\/p>\n

We’ll be at Barnes and Noble in Duluth Minnesota launching two new books—One Gorilla and Just Another Monday—on Saturday, August 16, at 1:00. Come party with us!<\/p>\n
