- a review from Travis Jonker of 100 Scope Notes: Small Saul by Ashley Spires
- a Take5 Marketing Tip from Dianne de Las Casas: Activity Pages
- a great app review site called Apps for Children with Special Needs
- about a new children’s bookstore in Katonah, NY!
- me asking you to take this survey about what you’d want to learn in a how-to-create-booktrailers webinar
… and in the interview with Verla, you’ll hear about how she gets upwards of a million hits per month and
- how she created her enormously popular chatboard
- the site that supplies the code for her chatboard (which she referred to as simplemachines.com but it’s .org and you can find it here)
- how Verla keeps her board up-to-date
- how she administers the board
- why she created it
- flamers and other meanies
- why she doesn’t allow politics and religion
- her secret sections (shhh)
- her charm bracelet with charms symbolizing her books
- why I think Verla should monetize her site
- she should use Hotchalk.com
- yet another reference to Cliff Ravenscraft because a fan sent him a check for $12,000 as a tip
- how Verla keeps it safe for kids
- how creatives feel like outsiders as kids (repeating what E.B. Lewis said in last week’s episode!)
