Special discussion on marketing US YA books in the international space–particularly Europe, Australia and Asia. Special guests include international authors Eden Maguire (UK), RJ Anderson (Canada) and Sarah Rees Brennan (UK) as well as UK book blogger–Book Chick City. Other guests TBD. Among some of the items we will discuss are:
- Writers who can’t get agents in the US–some are getting agents in the UK or Canada
- Writers who live in the US and can’t get published here, are selling foreign rights and doing well in other countries or getting published by UK publishers like Snowbooks or Frances Lincoln Children’s Books (for example).
- Published authors in the US that have a hard time (sometimes) understanding the different marketing that goes into overseas promos, markets, audience (covers, websites, audience, interacting with readers, etc.)
- What are the available international resources available to writers so that all of this makes sense?
- Marketing international writers to the US audience and or launching an international title in the US.
- Writers from other countries–what can they do to help their books sell better here? How can US writers buddy with international authors to work together for better results for everyone?
- How are bloggers and online book reviewers leveling the playing field–online?
- How can #Yalitchat serve as a resource?
Join us at this special time for a lively and informative discussion.
