A quick tip for the Indie authors out there. Email every single community library in all of Australia and tell them about your book. It will do wonders for your sales and it will get your name out. You might even book a library workshop! If you're not sure how to get the email address of a library, you can Google each state and find their community libraries' contact details. There are spreadsheets on the Internet – shhhh!
Since 1967, International Literacy Day (ILD) celebrations have taken place annually around the world to remind the public of the importance of literacy as a matter of dignity and human rights, and to advance the literacy agenda towards a more literate and sustainable society. Despite progress made, literacy challenges persist with at least 771 million young people and adults lacking basic literacy skills today. This year’s International Literacy Day will be celebrated worldwide under the theme Transforming Literacy Learning Spaces and will be an opportunity to rethink the fundamental importance of literacy learning spaces to build resilience and ensure quality, equitable, and inclusive education for all. To find out more, visit UNESCO. To celebrate, Hannah Beazley is giving away three autographed copies of Looking for Lily via her social media and website. With almost all copies of my small print run gone, this is a great way to get your hands on one of the last copies. To enter, click HERE.
