Notes: Date: Tuesday, Oct. 21 Time: 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM Eastern US Price: $25 (includes replay recordings) Make your books shine during the busiest shopping season of the year! The holidays are the #1 time of year for children’s book sales — but only if readers can find your book. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to make your picture book or middle grade title stand out, attract holiday shoppers, and maximize seasonal sales opportunities. Whether your book is Christmas-themed, winter-themed, or not, this session will show you how to: - Create festive holiday content and activity sheets to engage parents, teachers, and kids. - Run holiday-themed social media campaigns and giveaways that actually convert. - Sell at holiday fairs and markets, and pitch your book for “Best Holiday Books for Kids” lists. - Collaborate with other children’s authors for bigger reach. You’ll leave with a clear plan and ready-to-use holiday marketing ideas tailored specifically to children’s books — so you can boost visibility, sales, and joy this holiday season. This will be a short 30-40 minute training with plenty of time to ask questions of our presenters! Perfect for picture book, chapter book, and middle grade authors who want to make the most of the holiday shopping window!
