Hey Katie!
Thanks so much for linking to the Time Traveler Tours website and current app: Beware Mme La Guillotine, A Revolutionary Tour of Paris. Did you know it was a Top 10 2011 School Library Journal App right alongside The Fantastic Flying Books of Morris Lessmore? So Proud!!
And uber delighted to be on your show! As Julie already revealed in our interview, TTT will soon be open for submissions. We’re working on the final touches of our proposal template now.
Never a dull moment in app land!

I’d be DEEEE-lighted!

The discount code listed about did not work. The promotion code showed up on my purchase, but I was still charged the full price – $2.99, not $1 off. Someone needs to fix something or remove the claim that this discount is real.
katie
Ack! I’ll definitely let Julie know! I’m sure she’ll take care of it and make sure you do get your discount.
Julie Hedlund
Hi Ellen,
Thank you so much for letting me know about the problem with the discount code. It turns out there was a glitch, which I was able to fix straightaway. The problem with with my shopping cart software, which I have now rectified. I also refunded you $1. Let me know if there is anything else you need, and thanks for purchasing the template!

Kate/Julie, what a great podcast. Thank you! I am not ready to epublish anything yet but so excited to add Julie’s template to my ‘toolbox’. The promo code did not work for me though, you might want to check that. Thanks again as always. I always look forward to your Wednesday podcast. As a stay at home mom with a desire to be a pb writer/illustrator this is a huge boost to my education. Sincerely, Lisa

Thanks, Lisa! Your comment made me smile. It’s always amazing for me to hear from people that they look forward to Wednesdays – it’s why I stayed up late Tuesday to finish it and you have confirmed my commitment is well placed. Thanks again!

I am so far behind on the podcast! I can’t wait to hear this one. However I did go ahead and order the template through your site before the price goes up. Thanks so much for promoting this fantastic tool.

Have I missed the opportunity to get the amazing Julie Hedlun’s product? I’m fine if I have. I don’t mind paying the full price (which is so reasonable).
