When you're a professional author, you only get to spend half of your time writing. The other half of the time is spent promoting your book. Promotion is making people aware of something. When you promote a book, you are trying to convince people to buy it.
Here are some of the promotional activities I like to do:
- running competitions
- visiting schools
- giving away badges
- giving away bookmarks
- being interviewed on the radio
- sending press releases to newspapers
- asking bookshops to stock copies
This week, you are going to promote Monster Avengers.
You can choose to create anything you like, as long as it promotes our book. Ideas include:
- giving a talk
- making a poster
- acting out a scene in assembly
- making bookmarks
- a classroom display
- writing a press release
- making Monster Avengers merchandise
Your teacher might have something particular in mind for you to do.
Please send me photos and scans to rosen.trevithick@gmail.com so that I can see all the lovely promotion you have been doing. You've got from now until whenever you like. Promoting a book never ends!
