It's so important to get the right artistic style for kids. They matched me with an illustrator whose portfolio just screamed 'fun' and 'heartwarming.' It was a perfect fit.
The author's website, which they built, is clean, professional, and mobile-friendly. The best part is the easy backend, I can update my blog and events without needing to call a developer. A major plus.
The book trailer they produced is amazing. They used a professional voiceover actor and music that perfectly captures the mood. I use it on every social media platform and my website.
Okay, the Times Square promo was a total vanity thing, I admit it. But seeing my book cover on that massive digital billboard? An unforgettable, pinch-me moment. My family group chat blew up.
For pure "wow" factor and a story to tell, you can't beat it. Was it the most direct driver of sales? Maybe not. But as a lifelong dream for an author? Absolutely worth it.
