INSIGHT

Children's Book Marketing

  • Marketing children's books requires different strategies than adult books, as children aren't the direct purchasers.
  • Adults, like parents, teachers, and librarians, influence purchasing decisions, necessitating targeted marketing towards them.
ANECDOTE

Karen's Journey

  • Karen Ingalls, a successful children's author, started writing after realizing the disparity in quality among her children's books.
