Barnes & Noble Removed My Book!
Can anyone answer this? Barnes & Noble removed my children's book from their online bookstore. Why? I feel like crying. I contacted them over email, but got a 404 error message saying that the message was denied. That made matters feel worse. When Elves For A Day was first published, they posted it for sale in both hardback and paperback. Deb
READER'S MAGNET
YAY!!!! I finally got my reader's magnet up so it downloads when someone signs up! After all this time and guess what I did wrong? I forgot to toggle the activation button! I had to watch Harleigh's video several times before I caught that. Thanks, Harleigh!

@Dawn Bowers You'll get it, for sure!
Super Excited!!
I finally got my illustrations in, and everything has fallen into place. I wanted to share the book cover with everyone. So proud and excited for my debut book. Now everything goes to the printer and in a few weeks, I will have my book in my hands!! Where is everyone else on their journey?
Super Excited!!

Monica, I love your cover and I'm sure the story is just as adorable! Congratulations on having it just about ready for publication. I know that feeling. Celebrate!
Yet Another Question From Me
I almost had my newsletter form ready to go (freebie was attached). When I tested it on Mailerlite, everything was fine and my free children's book showed up fine. I posted the form to my website, tried to see if it worked there (using another address) and the book doesn't show up at all. All I get is an email confirmation and thankyou for signing up! Did I forget a step? What did I do wrong?

@Harleigh Manske Thanks!
Materials for book signings and marketplaces
Hi all! I’m so excited to be a part of this group. I recently released my debut picture book, Brave Buddy’s Big Mission on August 19th. I’m prepping for an upcoming storytime/book signing and an early childhood education conference where I’ll be selling my book. Do you have any recommendations on what to bring to these events other than book? I’ve researched and saw bookmarks, stickers, marketing materials, but would love to hear from you all and where you order any customized material! Thank you so much in advance!!
