FREE AUTHORS PROMOTION UPDATE



CHILDREN'S FESTIVAL OF READING CROWD



Time flies by so quickly when you're having fun.  Almost a year ago I hosted my first annual FREE AUTHORS PROMOTION in May during my city's Children's Festival of Reading.  I reached out to authors around the country with the promise of promoting their lovely books in exchange for donated autographed items to include in my FREE GIVEAWAY to help benefit Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.  You can read about the event by clicking on this link.. http://knoxrooms.sirsi.net/rooms/portal/page/21676_Childrens_Festival_of_Reading 

Last year's event was a wonderful success with 350 autographed items given away!

Now it's almost time for my second annual FREE AUTHORS PROMOTION and the donations have been rolling in like crazy!  I'm working hard to get everything ready and thought I would give everyone an update on the wonderful authors and illustrators whose works I'm thrilled to be able to promote this year.  Here is the list of people participating so far:
