Schools: A Niche Market for Authors - Jane Wood - Bog

Award-winning author and former teacher Jane R. Wood shares the many strategies she has used for seventeen years to successfully market and sell her books to schools. In 2014, Wood sold more than 6,400 copies of one of her juvenile fiction books to a large school district. Wood tells authors how to tap into this unique market - whether a book is a children's picture book, a middle reader, a YA book, or a nonfiction book appropriate for older students. Authors will learn how to contact schools; how to connect with educators; how to create educational resources for their book; and how to develop presentations for an author visit to a school. Wood shows how both teachers and students can benefit from a meaningful connection with a publisher author.
