Christen Conrad (christenscorner) | 8 comments Hello!

I’m writing to you today in hopes to offer you some support.

My name is Christen Conrad and I am a new Children’s Picture Book Author and Self-Publisher. I’m so excited to report I recently published my first book! I am new to this and I honestly had no idea what to expect after my book was released. I know absolutely nothing about marketing, let alone book marketing!

I have started a blog on my website, www.christenscorner.com. I am trying to make myself visible on social media, Facebook, Instagram, and Goodreads. However, I am still trying to figure it all out as there is A LOT of information, and sometimes Im not even sure if what Im doing is right! Do you feel this way too?

If there are any other new Authors and Self-Publishers, I would love to connect with you! I am currently interested in seeking new Authors out with their new books and get feedback from you on anything you may feel is pertinent to say!

I would also be interested in getting a copy of your book to review and mention on my website, www.christenscorner.com

You are welcomed and encouraged to review my new book as well, Zester The Zebra And His Missing Stripes, from my Forever Zoo Friends Series.

Essentially I am seeking a place to have myself and other new Children’s Picture Book Authors and Self-Publishers gather with feedback, blogging, and reviewing/promoting our new books!

Anyone is welcomed to contact me if you have any questions, advice, or just interested in meeting new people with similar interests such as myself!

To learn more about me visit my website www.christenscorner.com

My book is available in hardback, paperback, and ebook on various sites, amazon.com, kobo.com, barnesandnoble.com, walmart.com

I am setting up an exclusive kindle ebook version as well. It should launch in a few days and I will allow it to run for free for 5 days if you are interested in checking it out!

Don’t forget to let me know how I can get access to your book, again, if you are interested!

You may contact me with any questions at books@christenscorner.com
Im on Facebook, Instagram, and Goodreads too.

I sincerely look forward to hearing from you and helping you out with your new book!😊

Christen Conrad

Samuel Yaw (yawjianfong) | 27 comments Good evening.

Would you like to check out my book, "Mockingston Faire"? Even though it's a YA novel, it could be suitable enough for tweens, especially if they need to learn not to get so carried away in quarrels over their favourite shows and movies.

Thanks for reading and supporting me!

Hi Christen,

I am the author of two published books and another coming out in 2021. Marketing is probably the most difficult aspect of the whole book creation-process. I've been at it for over 5 years, and I think I'm just starting to get successful. I'm finally getting my book into a lot of readers' hands. But it's a lot of work and constantly looking for the next angle. I do a lot of public speaking (now zooming) and Facebook groups has worked well for me. I wish you lots of luck with your books. They sound adorable.

Jeff McCarley | 10 comments Hello.

My books are not for children, but if you're interested they are all all my goodreads page, and they are all available on kindle unlimited. I don't have kids to look at the book, but I do know teachers who work with children, so I can past on.

Thank you

Christen Conrad (christenscorner) | 8 comments Hi Jeff,

I am so glad to hear from you and yes I would love to check your books out! I know I initially mentioned children book authors, however, authors of any genre have good advice and support too, and Im happy to connect with any author(s)! I will look up your page!

Justine Laismith (justinelaismith) | 10 comments HI Christen,

Lovely to meet you!

I have a chapter book The Magic Mixer for readers ages 6-9 years.

It's about a harried mother who wants to stay one step ahead of her children’s antics. She experiments with the Magic Mixer to give herself animal abilities. But choosing the right animal proves more difficult than she thought.

The Magic Mixer by Justine Laismith

If this is something that appeals to you, it is free to download on Amazon this weekend 30 Oct -1 Nov, for the school holidays. I'd love your thoughts on the story.

Happy Halloween!

Kieshia Chun (kieshiachun) | 4 comments Hey!

I too have recently released my first book and I’d be interested in a book and review swap. Mine isn’t on kindle though, so I’d have to send you a copy.
Congratulations on your book release.

Kieshia 😊

Congratulations to all first time Children's book authors.

I also recently finished writing and publishing my first children's picture eBook. This is in eBook format only - for now.

This picture eBook is about a little girl who likes to give; and how parents can help celebrate their children's unique personality. The eBook is currently available on Amazon and your reviews will be greatly appreciated. You can check it out here:

Thank you
