Free Bookmarks! And Dum Dums!

Friday, March 20th, 2009

teenauthorfest

Come join me and a bizillion other awesome teen authors this Sunday at Books of Wonder in NYC starting at 4PM. I won’t have copies of Perfect Fifths, but I will have a plenitude of Perfect Fifths bookmarks I can sign for you. I’m also bringing 200 Dum Dums. That’s right. Dum Dums.

Why Dum Dums? Why not a more sophisticated candy? First of all, Dum Dums is fun to say. More significant, I’ve realized that whenever I’m offered a free Dum Dum–usually at the kiddie barbershop after my six-year-old has gotten a haircut, or at the dry cleaners–I will TOTALLY TAKE THAT FREE DUM DUM LOLLIPOP and ENJOY the HECK out of it. The pineapple and butterscotch Dum Dums are my favorites. I also like the promise of all those saved Dum Dum wrappers. Like, if you suck enough Dum Dums you can get a Dum Dum backpack or Dum Dum T-shirt. That’s literally and figuratively sweet.

So swing by my table on Sunday to get a Perfect Fifths bookmark and a free Dum Dum while supplies last.

Oh, and I’ll sign whatever copies of my books are on sale too.

This is it. Really. The last chance to get Perfect Fifths before 4/14.

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

I said The Perfect Fifths Jessi-ku/Mar-ku Contest would be the last opportunity to win Perfect Fifths before it goes on sale April 14th. Well, I was only half right. It turns out that my publisher has a few more Advanced Reader Copies left and I want to make sure they are put to good use.

I attribute the success of my series to word-of-mouth promotion by people like you. That’s why I’m giving these last books to the very readers who got me here in the first place. No book trailers or poetry required this time–just convince me that you can successfully spread the word about Perfect Fifths.

If you blog about books, write for a campus publication, or go by the name Michiko Kakutani email me by this Monday, March 23rd at noon EST with the links showing me how you’ll tell the world about the final book in the Jessica Darling series. (Of course, that’s assuming you love it. Early readers–such as the teenage phenom Reviewer X–have told me they do. ) Also provide your mailing address. I’ll sort through the requests and distribute as many ARCs as possible. (more…)

Perfect Fifths College Events

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

I’ve been getting quite a few emails lately from college students telling me that they want me to come to their schools for the launch of Perfect Fifths. Believe me, I would love to make the trip! College events are my favorite type of speaking gig. My appearances at Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania, Wellesley College, UCLA and The College of New Jersey (among others) rank among my all-time favorite career moments. I love visiting colleges, so I’m veeeeeery flexible in making such appearances possible. (more…)
