Subject: [Libs-Or] Any ideas for marketing a self-published book?<br>
<div dir="ltr">Hi Oregon Librarians -
<div>I have a colleague who has just self-published a kids book, which his daughter illustrated. The book is a little bit unusual, but very clever. He's asking me for ideas on how to best market it. Does anyone have any ideas on this? I have no experience with book promotion. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I don't want to co-opt this listserv with advertising, but I will include the URL for the book here in case anyone is interested in checking it out further (or purchasing a copy for their library!): <a href="http://www.thetreetalksback.com" target="_blank">www.thetreetalksback.com</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>thanks, </div>
<div>Karen </div>
