Hi all. I'm running a giveaway for my latest book Heartwood and I'd love some help getting the word out there (or enter if you fancy reading it!). The giveaway runs until April 25. Would also love any other ideas you might have about getting the word out on a self-published book, something I have had some difficulties with in the past.
Thanks. Warm regards, Pollyanna

Hey, Brenda! Small world. My book last mind is about a lost toy, too. All the best! Cat

[Brenda]

Thanks Cat,
I love to write children's books. I do have to pay an illustrator but it's worth it to see a child read my books.
I also have an adult novel coming out late summer.
I love going to events and marketing my books. I've learned so much and enjoy helping other authors avoid the mistakes I've made.

We need to start a Children’s book review group. For example:
1. Say there are 10 of us in the group. (for easy math) Our books average $10 on Amazon and we make $5 profit off a sale.
2. On a given day, we all go online and personally buy the 9 other books (so shipping is about $20)
3. Okay, I just made 9 sales equaling $45 profit, and I spent $110 total on the books and shipping..
4. I just paid a total of $65 for 9 reviews…that’s $7.22 per review.
5. But upon completion of the book, each author gives the copy of the 9 books to a reading friend and gets them to agree to setup a Goodreads account or go on Amazon and rate and review the books when they are finished. That’s 18 reviews in a month or less for $65 equaling $3.60 per review.
6. Now, if each author posts something on their social network about each book, then the fire can spread to other readers. It could be powerful because of this scenario…I know Amanda from our small circle of 10 authors, but I don’t know Amanda’s friend Stacey, who received my book for free to review, after Amanda is finished. I’m in no way connected to Stacey, but she has 400 friends on Facebook (20 of which are avid readers) My book just caught the attention of 20 fresh eyes…that times 9 unique friends of our group equals…more exposure.

It’s just a thought—without the confusion, personally purchasing my books, mailing them, and waiting on reviews, like the other Review Groups that exist.

[Brenda]

All the best with your book. I have three children's books published. my first is Just Batty, where we meet Hayden and his family on the farm. My second book is Hayden's Garden. In this one he want to plant a vegetable garden. My grandson, Hayden is my inspiration for the Hayden books. He loves Halloween so I wrote Hayden's Halloween. It's Halloween party time on the farm and some fascinating creatures of the night come out to entertain the guests.
I enjoy writing children's stories and hope parent and children can start a dialog about what the have read.

Your book looks adorable! Congrats!

Hi Goodreads children's community. I am excited to be a new member here.

I just published my first book on Amazon Kindle, titled, "The Scare: A Halloween Story," on sale this week for 99 cents!

Simon loves everything about Halloween: the candy, the costumes… but what he loves most is scaring others. Last year, he invited Jim to his house for a Halloween party, but before Jim even arrived at Simon’s front stoop, Simon had scared him away. This year, Jim has invited Simon to his house for a party. Everything appears very un-scary, but he has some tricks up his sleeve. Both young and older readers will enjoy this delightfully chilling tale about two best friends.

If you happen to like the book, I would love to hear from you and would be happy to reciprocate any comments or likes.

Thank you!

[Cat]

Timely book for the upcoming Halloween season! I am always happy to reciprocate social media connections and GR friendships, plus add books to my to-read shelf. All the best with your writing journey.

[I.L.]

Congratulations on launching your book! And welcome! :)

[Brenda]

I also have a Halloween book for children. Hayden's Halloween is the third book about Hayden and his family on the farm. It's time for the annual Halloween party. The guests come in costume to enjoy the bon fire and haunted house. Some fantastic creatures of the night come and give the guess a special treat.

Hi Everyone,

I'm brand new to the group. Recently, I wrote and published "Be Grateful Little Bear" a children's book which is now available on Amazon!

Check it out:
http://www.amazon.com/Grateful-Little...

[Panisoara]

The seven medals of success presents the adventures of two children who win, one by one, the medals of courage, cooperation, curiosity, patience, creativity, perseverance and empathy. In their journey they are accompanied by Memo, the dwarf of their memory; he reminds them certain events in their life and they learn the rules of each psychological characteristic.
The book contains stories for children about developing personal success skills and it is based on psychological and pedagogical studies. Every chapter of the book has a Parent's Corner, with a short description of the psychological concepts and exercises for developing each personal trait. Also, every chapter includes a poem because psycho-pedagogical studies demonstrate children learn easier by combining the linguistic and the „musical” intelligence.
We, the authors are university researchers and professors: G. Panisoara has a Ph.D. in Psychology and I.O. Panisoara has a Ph.D. in Educational Sciences.
The patience poem (fragment from the ebook)
Do you know Trici – the caterpillar?
She cried: her beauty was no thriller
But time marched on, as it went by
She turned to a fine butterfly
Here is why:
You want time to pass by quicker,
“I want to play now,” you dicker,
You want to grow up much faster.
But patience is what you must master.
If you have patience you will learn
To calm yourself and wait your turn
Step by step you will succeed
Patience is the thing you need.

Hi Michelle,
First let me say that I LOVE the idea of a video and the pictures (animation) was very good. I watched it without reading the book description and needed to watch it again when I had. This was the better tactic.

I wish you all the best,
