Welcome back to the Children’s Book Marketing Podcast! In today’s episode, we dive into the inspiring story behind the creation of this podcast. Discover how the global pandemic and social unrest motivated led me to become an advocate for diversity in children’s books.
Also, find out how my life-changing conversation with a self-published author open a new avenue to purpose in a somewhat familiar place. But before we start, though, let’s reiterate who this podcast is for and why it was created. If you’re an independent author who has chosen not to go the traditional publishing route for your children’s book, then you are in the right place! This means that you understand the responsibility, freedom, and flexibility of marketing your own books, and if you’re just warming up to all that, then allow this podcast to guide you.
As both a self-published author and an experienced marketer with a background in corporate product management, join me to gain a unique perspective to children’s book marketing. Throughout this episode, I’ll share expertise, which drawns from leading in various industries, such as digital print and paper distribution, telecom, and supply chain management for global companies.
My mission is to help indie authors in telling meaningful stories about culture, history, and perspectives that are often overlooked, promote understanding, and empathy. So, get ready to explore proven marketing strategies and join me on this journey of self-publishing success.
