The big day is finally here! Today is Promo Day! I'll be over at www.PromoDay.info all day today, and also busy on social media with the hashtag #PD15.
I hope you'll all come and join me for my webinar Visual Content for Authors during today's event, and connect both via the event forums and via social media.
I'm really proud of where Promo Day is now and the success it continues to have each year. I personally get a lot out of the event and know from feedback that others do too which makes it doubly gratifying.
Registration will remain open all day so you still have time to register and be part of the fun. Just go to www.PromoDay.info and click on the "Register Now" tab in the navigation bar at the top of the screen.
I'll be touring the web over the month of June to promote 'How to be Twittertastic' in celebration of the recent release of the print version of the book and need your help. I'm looking for people to host me on their sites to help spread the word about the book. Can you host me this June?
To reserve a stop on the tour please fill out the short form below and I'll send you your materials asap.
Thanks for your support!

Sorry for the delayed posting this last installment about the RhyPiBoMo challenge. This should have gone up last week but I was busy with the May day weekend and well it didn't. Here it is now though. Better late than never right? ;)
As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm taking part in the RhyPiBoMo challenge this month. It's been a fun and inspiring month. I've loved connecting with other writers and book lovers, and have learnt loads in the various blog posts and discussions.
I didn't manage to read as many rhyming children's books as I'd have liked too but I'm glad I took part.
- Day 24- Agent Kendra Marcus. Great points about the common pitfalls of rhyming children's picture books and the importance of having a strong story.
Day 22- Ed DeCaria. Awesome post about first lines. How can you not like a post that starts with...
"First lines are like fangs.They break your readers’ skin, take hold deep within, and draw them — willingly or not — into your world."

Did you take part in RhyPiBoMo too? What was your favourite book from this month?
A big thank you to all of you that read my rhyming children's picture story books; Out and About at the Zoo, and Fairy May as part of this months challenge. I really appreciate your support and encourage you to leave a review as I love hearing your feedback.
This week is Children's Book Week.
Established in 1919, Children's Book Week is the longest-running national literacy initiative in the country. Every year, commemorative events are held nationwide at schools, libraries, bookstores, homes -- wherever young readers and books connect! Children's Book Week is administered by Every Child A Reader, a 501(c)(3) literacy organization dedicated to instilling a lifelong love of reading in children. The Children's Book Council, the national non-profit trade association for children's book publishers, is an anchor sponsor.
