Psst! Hey! Looking for somewhere to donate those ARCs? Or are you a school looking for books and authors to connect with readers? Take a peek at the freshly-launched, brand new site Reach A Reader, which can help you do just that. (Full disclosure: I helped with the site.) If you’ve donated to the ARCs Float On campaign at The Reading Zone, you’ll be pleased to hear that it will soon find a permanent (searchable!) web home at Reach A Reader.
I dunno, I benefited from a real conversation about author salaries, etc., when I was in grad school, and every time a kid asks me about the real deal, I tell them. Of course, it's all in the delivery…
Hm, after one presentation I did at a school, the kids wrote letters on what they learned from me–several said they learned that being a writer is a tough job! ;-D
