Katie,
This episode is so full of awesome! I got so many ideas. What a great idea to interview many people to get different ideas on the same topic. It’s fascinating to hear what has worked and not-worked as far as promotion is concerned.
I was honored to be a part of this and can’t wait for you to be on my blog! 🙂

I love that expression, “so full of awesome” and I’m going to steal it! Thanks so much…I loved this episode so much I released it early!
Elizabeth
Thanks for having me on, Katie. Great podcast, as usual! 🙂 e
Laurie Jacobs
Katie, this is the first of your podcasts I’ve listened to and I learned so much. I already looked into the archives site and found an old movie of a conga line I can use for a book trailer. Thanks so much for posting all this fabulous information. I’ve read your book (taking copious notes as I go) and have recommended it to all my writer buddies.
katie
Thanks, Laurie! Thanks for the reciprocity!

Hi Katie, thankyou so much for this podcast. I have listened to a couple, but I have never got so much info as I did with this one. I sat here scribbling away notes and learned so much. Thankyou for such and enjoyable listen, even Mango was fun to hear…… (oh just so you know, I am from New Zealand).
katie
SO cool! (My daughter was there last summer!)
Donna Gephart
Katie,
Could your timing be better with this chock-full episode? I just got off the phone with my publicist at Random House, talking about ways to promote Olivia Bean, Trivia Queen when it comes out. You, my dear, are a podcast mind reader!
Keep up the great work,
Donna
Kirsten Larson
I finally got to listen to this podcast, which was chock-full of fabulous tips. I don’t care if it’s more than an hour. Your podcasts are worth every second.
Donna Gephart
I second Kirsten. The longer the podcast the better, Katie.
katie
Wow, Kirsten and Donna, thanks. I have to tell you, I do feel stress when I see the dial going over 60 minutes, so I really appreciate that!
Shannon Jones
Great one!! Got some good bits and tips. Thank you as always for being a fabulous resource 🙂
Eric Van Raepenbusch
Katie — I love when you have Loreen Leedy on the show. Together, you are like the Dynamic Duo of great ideas. Your ebook show a few episodes back was awesome and her “teacher” idea was brilliant in this show. Thanks so much.
P.S. I liked the new music too!
Katie Davis
Thanks, Eric! I like the new music too!
Loreen Leedy
Fun and informative episode as usual, Katie! Thanks for having me and everyone else…I learn so much from hearing other people’s adventures in the world of kidlit!

Brilliant, love what you do. I love your philosophy and honesty.
