This Saturday we'd like to share three pieces of news for you....
HARPER LAUNCHES EPIC READS!
This week, HarperCollins has announced the launch of Epic Reads (now open to the public!). Epic Reads is an interactive site that will allow readers to connect with HarperTeen authors and books. On the site, there are three different subsections: Epic Reads (featuring all HaperTeen titles and authors); Pitch Dark (featuring dystopian and paranormal stories); and Story Crush (featuring contemporary fiction and romance).
Users can sign into the site directly through Facebook or Google, upload art, photos and videos, and enter sweepstakes, polls or quizzes. There will be ongoing live chats with authors and moderated forums.
In my opinion, HarperTeen is the leading publisher when it comes to knowing exactly how to get at their audience and include them in the conversation. Kudos to Harper!

Ooo - thanks for the Epic Reads link. I had heard about this but never got the chance to look into it. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're most definitely welcome! Thanks for following GCR :)
DeleteI am so excited for The Host! And Maria, I agree with you about Harper!!!
ReplyDeleteYay! More undeniable evidence that The Host is coming to theater. Impatiently waiting!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link. Just signed up :) I can't wait to see The Host. I completely agree with you about celebrities in comic books.It's getting old.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me so sad that people value pop stars lives so much that they're turning them into feature length movies. There was that Justin Beiber movie that came out a few years ago. Now Katy Perry? In 3D? Really?!
ReplyDeleteI'm equally annoyed with pop stars being in comic books too. The artwork on the front cover looks really bad. For the buyer's sake, I hope it's not like that throughout the comic.
