Marketing can feel like a whole new world once the book is finished. Some authors love it, others find it a bit overwhelming — but it’s such an important step to get our stories into readers’ hands. I’d love to know: how do you approach promotion? Do you lean on social media, school visits, word of mouth, local bookstores… or something else entirely? Share your experiences, tips, or even the challenges you’ve faced. We can all learn so much from each other — and maybe discover new ways to reach readers too. 💜✨

We are over the moon to bring you our first live online workshop, and this one is something that everyone needs most - marketing ideas for your children's book. We are really happy to welcome the director of Publishing Partnership, Florence Hannath, who will be hosting the live workshop with you. This is taking place this Wednesday at 7 pm UK time via Zoom and will last around an hour, and the link to join the event is on the calendar Have you written or self-published a children’s picture book but aren’t sure how to get it seen, stocked, and sold?

This is your hub for getting your book noticed! 👉 Post about social media strategies, book launches, or events. 👉 Ask questions about getting into shops, reaching parents/teachers, or building buzz. No idea is too small — the best marketing often comes from sharing and learning together.
