I’m so happy to announce that my third children’s book launches next month, but I’m also stumped because I’m not sure how to advertise my book/launch. Like what do I post? What do I say? My socials aren’t very popular so traction is limited! Here’s some illustrations for the book!

Hello friends! After launching my book and vending my book at a market for the first time on the 1st weekend of May, I realized I needed to establish an IG handle solely for my author/illustrator stuff. I was thinking it would be lovely to connect with fellow authors and illustrators part of this group on here and get a vibe of what everyone is posting and sharing. Let's inspire one another on this journey. The market I vended at did something similar and thought it might be fun to share here. ~ Follow me and I'll follow yours ~ Drop your Instagram handle in the comments and let's follow each other!

Hi everyone - I have a few ebooks where I’d like the pages to dispkay in Kindle as a spread vs. one page at a time. I use Kindle Create and think I have it set that way, but when I view on my iPad in landscape view, it only shows one page at a time. Do I need to upload thise files with the spread as one image? Any suggestions are greatly appreicated!

I have a wordpress website and I am currently using Kit as an email list builder. I created a Shopify digital downloads store. (it's still a WIP) I've also started to create the shop to sell my books. (Also a WIP) I'm just not sure if I need all of it; both a wordpress website and a shopify website. I've not looked into selling my books directly from my wordpress site. But I do have my free coloring pages available on my website through a convertkit form embeded on my website. Any advice as to which one would be more beneficial for me to go with is greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone - New to this community, but have been following Harleigh's very insightful videos for almost a year! (thank you, Harleigh!) Looking forward to learning from everyone! I’m looking for a few ARC readers for my upcoming children’s picture book, Monster Trucks Stay Humble Too (launching April 7). It’s a gentle monster truck story for ages 3–5 focused on kindness, sportsmanship, and humility—designed especially for bedtime reading. If you’d be open to receiving a free digital copy and leaving an honest review, I’d love to include you! Just comment below or message me and I’ll send over the BookSirens link 😊 Thank you!—Renee (Kota Bear Books)
