If you have ever taken a course with the Children's Book Academy, you'll know that we tend to over-deliver by creating a fabulous smorgasbord of content where you get to pick and choose what's most helpful for you now and then have it so that you have plenty of time to return to later to explore the rest of the content. As you can see in this course, it's the same approach. And with this course you get to take it any time you like for up to a whole year.
In Fun with Social Media, we teach you about building your author/illustrator platform with social media. Did you know that some libraries now use a service that provides a green light if you have a large social media following, and a red light if you don't, meaning that your books are supposed to be more desired if you have the green light? Crazy. These days building an author or illustrator's platform with a social media following is a given for getting published so that you can help market and sell your books. Whether you are traditionally, independently, or self published you need to reach out to others to both help sell your books and spread the word about your books so that others will know about them. And we are going to teach you how to do exactly that in a non-spammy and mutually supportive way.
