Yes, I’m concentrating my marketing efforts for my children’s book in the online space, but it’s always nice to see your mug in the newspaper, right?
This appeared in today’s edition of the Northcote Leader, our local paper. I’m not expecting to see a massive spike in book sales as a result, but it is great coverage nonetheless. A similar article (sporting the same photo) also appeared in yesterday’s Preston Leader, the local paper for the next suburb north.
It’s difficult to know after speaking on the phone with a journalist exactly what parts of your conversation are likely to make it into their article. Julia asked a few prickly questions, and I was unsure how the answers I gave were going to make me sound. Thankfully, they chose to focus on the fact that I’m marketing my children’s book primarily via Twitter and Facebook, and overall it’s very positive press for the book.
Plus the newspaper clipping will make for a good “show and tell” for my daughter at school tomorrow!
