Just in time for back to school...
Middle grade and young adult have grown so much over the past decade and a half and we're big fans of these genres. It's more than books for preteens and teens, this genre appeals to multi-generations. It's also two of our favorite genres. So, we've decided over a six-day period, we want to feature as many middle grade and young adult titles as possible in our Middle Grade and Young Adult Bookish Event.
Do you have a book (or several) that's considered middle grade or young adult? Young adult fiction is a category of fiction written for readers from 12 to 18 years of age. While the genre is targeted to adolescents, approximately half of YA readers are adults. The subject matter and genres of YA correlate with the age and experience of the protagonist. The same applies to middle grade, though the age group for it is 8 to 12. This event is open to any genre, fiction or nonfiction. It can be in any format (e-copy, print, audiobook). If you have a boxed set or are taking part in an anthology, it qualifies. I'm not picky here. If you think your book would make for a great middle grade/ya read, then please sign-up. This event will be marketed as a middle grade and young adult bookish event. If we get more than twenty-five books, we'll extend the dates.
As an added incentive, you get a free customized graphic ($20 value) to use. To see an example, please scroll up to the top of this email to see it. I will send it out to you before the event starts.
On September 12-17, we want to feature your books: e-copy, print, or audiobook. If you're featuring your book on sale during these dates, this is a great opportunity to gain more sales. Same goes if your book is a freebie or on preorder. Note: Your book does not have to be on sale to participate in this event.
We want you to participate. There's no limit per author. The price is $13 USD per book. We know money is tight for authors and this type of promo is inexpensive with huge buzz potential. We're cheaper than most promo companies and more importantly, we care about your success.
The giveaway is an Amazon gift card. The amount of the gift card will depend on how many authors participate. The more spots we fill, the bigger the prize for readers. Part of your fee goes towards the gift card. Oh, and no worries, we will take care of awarding the prize to the winner.
