For Authors or Illustrators

Kid/YA Authors and illustrators (and publicists, too), if an independent bookseller carries your traditionally published books, ask if they'll gift-wrap and ship signed or personalized copies.  If your bookstore agrees, send an email with the title of your most recent book, your name, website URL, publisher, genre, suggested age of reader, along with the indie's name, URL (if they have one) and telephone number.

Tell me if you're willing to personalize for each recipient or if the bookstore is offering generically signed stock. Add a brief two- or three-sentence blurb from an established review source and attach a small .jpg of the book cover (less than 500kb) to the email.  

Limit: one title per author or illustrator.  

Each book will be labeled by genre, age, bookseller, author. Since this is a free service offered by me, we're sharing the work load, authors, illustrators, and booksellers, okay? I won't be able to post a book unless I have all the information above.


Last but not least, link back to Books With Flair so your fans can not only find your books, but those created by other authors and illustrators -- as well as a list of great independent booksellers. The goal, as always, is to connect young readers with great books. Questions? Suggestions? I'd love to hear them!
