Playing with YouTube and The Emerald Tablet

The Emerald Tablet by P J Hoover is set for release in the U.S.

The author a member of the 2K8, another group of authors doing it (marketing and promo) for themselves has made this video for promotion.
Her publisher, CBAY, has put it on her personal blog and it has probably gone everywhere you can think of to raise the profile of this new release.

Yup Trish, it's even being viewed in New Zealand. Congratulations!

I started this blog to learn about them and to try new things out...today just over six months later I have figured out how to post video...along the way I have learned lots of new things... I am looking at the 2 year old and wondering just what her world is going to be like in the future....
The brave new world is here -get out and enjoy it!

I know I said I’d never...

Post more than once a week and here I am with another post BUT
I thought that I would share this as it relates in a way to the last two posts and the mini marketing series I am doing for authors....

Readergirlz are a group of YA (Young Adult) writers who have got together to share a website and market their books on MySpace etc. They host on line chats, do school visits...all the things that the average YA author in the states has to do to get noticed. Scary stuff for us down under but it will come...They are hosting an online chat series for a week as part of their promotion and TeenRead Week.

So here is a YouTube video promoting their online author chat series...


Now I am posting this to show what is currently happening in promotion and marketing YA books by the authors themselves.

I dropped into Brian Falkner’s website this morning. Such a cool web site and now that Brian’s latest book ‘The Tomorrow Code’ is being released in the states...I wonder if he is going to have to ramp up his already cool website for a US audience.
Congratulations Brian, on the great Kirkus review.
