Be Your Own Publicist!
Who knew that being a KidLit Creator meant you had to become a skilled book marketer? What happened to the days when an author could sequester themselves in a quiet log cabin in the middle of the woods with their trusty typewriter and write stories?

What if the thought of cold-calling schools and libraries to pitch your presentations has you waking up in a cold sweat at 2am?
It doesn't have to be scary! Learn helpful tips and tricks from author Veronica Bartles, coordinator of the MD/VA/DE/WV/DC Read Local Challenge since 2015.

Hi, I’m Veronica Bartles
As an author of both picture books and young adult novels, and the director of the MD/VA/DE/DC/WV Read Local Challenge since 2015, I've had a lot of experience with school and library visits. Not only have I given presentations to audiences of all ages (from very young pre-K through high school), but through the Read Local Challenge, I have helped many authors connect with schools and libraries to showcase their own presentations.
I'm excited to share with you the things I've learned through the trial-and-error of setting up my own events, and from the conversations I've had with teachers, librarians, administrators and booksellers while coordinating the Read Local Challenge.
