An Open Call: Lorie Ann Grover STREET TEAM

Lorie Ann Grover STREET TEAM

 
 
In anticipation of the upcoming release of my next young adult novel, HIT, I thought to create a Street Team to help with this celebration and future ones. Here's what I'm thinking regarding the offer and  responsibilities.

Offer
1. Prior to the book's release, you'd receive an advance reader copy.
2. The publisher, Blink Young Adult Books, would mail you bookmarks and possibly posters.
3. I would share with you the trailer, excerpts, or answer interview questions if you have a blog and would like me to guest post.

Responsibilities for Launch
1. After reading the work, you'd post a review at Goodreads and Amazon.
2. You'd visit your local bookstores, offer the poster and bookmarks, and request the book to be in stock.
3. On the launch day, you'd tweet and post a facebook status.
4. You'd share content, such as a trailer, or tour schedule as it becomes available.

There could be other special opportunities: to meet as I tour, have me join your book club via Skype, or interview me for your local school or city newspaper.

If you dig my novels and this idea seems like fun, jot me an email at lorieanngroveratclearwiredotnet with the heading: Street Team. I'd love to add you. Your support would be so valuable to me! Thanks for considering it. Hope to hear from you!

Poetry Friday: Sold

 
Sold
 
In this space, children
grew and flew; spouses whirled love.
We each say goodbye.

Poetry Friday: Nearly Fifty


Nearly Fifty

For nearly fifty
years, I have been here, arms spread
wide, in love with life.

Poetry Friday: Attraction


Attraction

The moon and the mount
coyly glance at each other
and blush the sky pink.

Poetry Friday: Life Lesson, The Brook


Life Lesson, The Brook
 
The brook bends to the
soil's soft nudge, curving to
reach the still, cool pool.

Poetry Friday: Santorini Echo

 
Santorini Echo
 
Between your white-washed
walls, my story ricocheted,
binging into words.
