It’s been an exciting and whirlwind week since I’M BORED launched on bookstore shelves last week!
Thanks so much for those of you who have been helping me promote the book online and offline. I’ve compiled a list of interviews, guest posts and other places online where you can find related posts, and most of these still are or were holding random draws for copies of the book.
*NEW* I am also going to be sending hand-drawn doodles to each of the book giveaway winners for I’M BORED. This applies to any blog who is doing an I’M BORED giveaway in the near fuure.
TODAY:
Wed. Sept. 12, 2012 (online): Interview by Christina Farley on Chocolate For Inspiration.
I’ll also be giving a talk tonight at the monthly CANSCAIP meeting about my I’M BORED experience, the benefit of conferences like Packaging Your Imagination and SCBWI, as well as how to get the most out of these kinds of events.
