WOW!! I hope lit agents, publishers, and editors are listening to the numbers and reading this post.
Hi Mona,
I hope so too!! We also undercounted since we didn’t track social media shares on Google+, Instagram or LinkedIn. And we didn’t track all the 175+ bloggers, just those with bigger numbers because it was hand tabulated and expensive to calculate.
Let’s hope that agents, publishers and editors read this post! Diversity is on their minds.
I hope they take note too! Thanks for your support over the past three years for Multicultural Children’s Book Day Pat. We are so grateful for your help!
Awesome! 😀 This is such good news! I am glad it was such a success?
Wow! This is amazing! Congratulations!
Thanks so much Chrissy!!!
