I'm preparing to launch a children's book about infertility.
These were all interesting, and doable. Thank you.
Thanks! Now I can market my first book!
You are very gifted and I so appreciate your thoughtful tips! I just finished the manuscript to my first young reader's book and you gave me a brilliant idea to include a marketing activity in the book. My story is about finding your childhood spirit, and so I'm going to include an exercise where you write down something you haven't done since you were a kid and then either share a picture or a video with the book title #matilda&theforestfriends. You are the best and I can't wait to check out your books now. Thank you so much!

Thanks.
Does this apply to children's book marketing too?

Great video 👌❤️👍♨️
Great video! Can’t wait to use these tips for my book. That will be dropping soon
Thanks a lot for all the tips. I'm a new author so I have to learn a lot.
To me, the most interesting tip is the first one. I usually like to keep big things a secret because I believe that if you tell many people your project may go wrong. It sounds silly, but in my house, I was always taught that. Now I can air my big project out so people can be aware of it. Thank you, Pat! Great video.
