Children's Book Survey and Prizes!

Please take a few minutes to complete a survey about children's books for your chance to win some AWESOME prizes, including a copy of Talking Tales: Puppy's Bubble!

Did you know that independent authors produce amazing, beautiful and creative children’s books? These unfortunately can often be overlooked in favor of more well-known titles.

Old Mate Media and Sanderson Stories, two children’s book publishers, have partnered with a number of talented independent authors to create this survey, so they can learn more about the books in families around the world and continue to create and publish the best children’s books.

You can find the survey at: www.oldmatemedia.com/reader-survey-Ju....

Kate Stead from Old Mate Media commented “One of the great things about independent publishing is our flexibility and freedom. We are very excited to learn more about what’s most important to our readers, so we can shape our books to provide the best experience for them.”

As part of this, anyone that completes the short survey will go into the draw to win an amazing prize pack of children’s books in both print and digital format, valued at over $111US. The Prize Pack includes:

- Seven print picture books
- One colouring book
- Seven digital picture books

The full list of prizes can be seen at www.oldmatemedia.com/reader-survey-20... and is entirely composed of independent books. Kate from Old Mate Media said this was a deliberate choice: “how better to reward survey entrants than by sharing some fabulous independent books. It felt like a perfect match, to give a family a bounty of book goodness, with the flexibility to take their favorite print versions with them on the go, in digital format.”

The survey competition will run from 1st June to the 15th June 2017 (AEST) with the winner of the prize pack announced on Friday 16th June 2017.

The books in the prize pack are:

Book 1: The Little Green Boat by Chris Stead
Book 2: The Fairy Garden: A Discovery of Birth Flowers by Tara Sanderson
Book 3: Lulu and Lainey.....a French Yarn by Lois Petren
Book 4: Bean Takes a Walk by Ann Bevans & Matthew Ethan Gray
Book 5: Puppy's Bubble by Erica Graham
Book 6: Stunno’s Surf Adventure by Mark Reside
Book 7: The Very Loving Caterpillar by Sean Browne
Bonus Colouring Book: Coloring in the Fairy Garden by Tara Sanderson

Please don’t hesitate to get in contact with Old Mate Media via books@oldmatemedia.com if you would like any further information.
