There’s More Than One Way to Do It!

Well, I went to bed pretty discouraged with the prospects of Ready or Not—Life’s Coming at Ya. 

After all my work, I started to doubt the book’s ability to grab the attention of our intended audience — teens and young adults.

I woke up the next day with an idea that I’d like to pursue… just to see how far we can get with it.

My thought is that, since our target audience isn’t really into reading these types of books, why don’t we transform the material into some form that is more palatable to them?

I got to thinking about the audio/video clips that we’re creating and posting on YouTube.

Teens and young adults spend hours on the computer, playing games and watching videos.  Why don’t we simply use that channel to reach them?

It doesn’t matter what form the message is... just that the message gets out.

Shoot!  If we get the presentations/workshops going, we can copy various pieces onto CDs/DVDs and hand them out to participants.

Once Silhouette of a Friendship... and the children’s book get picked up by a publisher or publishers, then we can offer the teen’s book as a sequel.

Anyway… it’s just a thought…

The next time Katherine and I get together, I’ll ask her what she thinks.
