I'm taking another break today from tips on book promotion--to promote my newest book! My second FROZEN related picture book, AN AMAZING SNOWMAN, was released last week while I was on a book and school visit tour to Southern California. Here's a video a friend filmed at a book signing/FROZEN party at the Redlands Barnes & Noble. And though I'm using this post as a new book announcement, there's a tip embedded here--not one on my original list: Have someone videotape you in action!
My videographer happens to be a writing friend, Maria Cisneros Toth, who has a YouTube channel of her own. She posted this video on her channel and then on her Facebook page, where I shared it on my own Facebook page.
Yet to do: posting the video to my website and sending a link to schools when I'm proposing school visits so they can see what I'm like in front of a crowd.
Happy videoing!
