How to Promote Your Children’s Book

After you’ve written a children’s book, you have to sell it — you didn’t spend all that time and effort just to entertain youself, did you? Try to accomplish one of the following tasks each week to help your labor of love blossom to life in the marketplace:

• Set up an interview on a local radio or TV show.

• Do readings in a bookstore, school, or library.

• Submit your book for an award or prize.

• Think up a crazy publicity stunt and set it in motion.

• Brainstorm new promotional ideas with a professional children’s book publicist — and then start working on one.
