In the number of presentations I have done, I have had to develop almost as many different formats. As I am not well-versed in this vital aspect of children’s book marketing, I’m not sure what requests to yield to and when to just say no. In my view, I have no choice but to bend over backwards as far as I can for the chance to present. It does mean a lot of work, a lot of “rolling with the punches,” and a lot of patience. Last-minute changes will happen, additional requests will be requested, and though it’s beaten into you how incredibly deliberate you have to be with all aspects of the development of your book, you then have to always be on your toes, all the time, when it comes to presentations. I guess the only thing I want to impart is, always smile, say yes, and remember that it’s an opportunity, even if it doesn’t look like one.
