Idea - and question - about author visit over chat
Posted: Mon Oct 29, 2007 6:08 pm
Hi everyone!
I'm a kids' fantasy author (The Erec Rex books) and I have been doing a ton of school visits on my recent book tours. Lately (with my crazy travel schedule) I've been more interested in doing online things instead of hopping from city to city. This led me to think of interacting with kids that normally might not get author visits - - homeschoolers!
Here was my thought - let me know if this sounds like it is of interest to anybody. I am getting a discussion board put up soon, and am able to use it for author/school visit chats with kids and parents. It would be interactive. There would be a set time and day where I would go online with the kids who have signed up. Kids would ask questions by posting comments, and I would go through each one and answer - up to the ending time on the discussion.
Here is a similar style discussion.
(But it's with older teens / adults. Mine would have a younger feel.)
Let me know if this is of interest. I'd love to set up an author visit with your kids!
