Calling all bloggers and authors - show the love for Libraries!

April 11-17 is National Library Week

I'd like to dedicate my blog that week to celebrate libraries and do some interviews about what they look for in books. Therefore I was thinking I could get people involved to participate.

If you would like to participate in the "Bloggers Love Libraries" - Library Appreciation week. Please let me know.

Here are some ways you can participate:

1. Interview your local library and post the interview that week. Send me the link by April 9th and I will link to any interviews on my site that week so we can celebrate all the libraries around the country.
2. Dedicate your blog to do posts that relate to libraries.
   
3. Donate books for my book basket(s) that will be given away to a library that participates in the interview. (If we get enough books, we may be able, to do more than just one basket)
4. Donate any other items to the baskets - pens, pencils, swag, skype tours, etc

I will collect all the items and create book baskets.

At the end of the week there will be a drawing for the book basket. (Followers who fill out the form can be eligible to win the book baskets for their local library)

Please email me at sjohannes@bilaninc.com if you would like to participate. :)

Belated Editor Appreciation Day

Agent Appreciation Day was so successful last week, authors did it again for Editors. I came across alot of posts this weekend.

Even though I do not have an editor yet, I love them and am thinking a little bribing and flattery could get me somewhere. ;) So here is a shout out to all the great editors who got accolades on blogs over the last few days.

Here's some I found:

Kiersten White with Erica Sussman, Harper Teen

Kody Keplinger with Kate Sullivan, Little Brown

Hannah Moskowitz with Anica Rissi, Simon Pulse

Alexandra Bracken, Egmont USA

Andrea Cremer with Jill Santopolo, Philomel

Kirsten Hubbard with Michelle Poploff, Delacorte

Victoria Schwab with Abby Ranger, Hyperion

Karen Kincy, Brian Farrey at Flux

UPDATE: Gretchen McNeil is gathering all the posts on her blog.

Happy Editor Day and thanks to all of you for believing and taking a chance on your authors!

If you have any you want me to add, let me know. Or if you know of a blog that has a comprehensive list, let me know and I'll link to it.
