September brings many opportunities for book promotion when you link your book to one of the many offbeat and unexpected holidays that are unique to this fall month.<\/p>\n

Can any of them inspire ideas for a blog post, publicity angle, or an image to share on social media?<\/p>\n

I like this month\u2019s list because so many of the holidays are universal \u2013 you don\u2019t need to have a connection to your book to have fun with them. You can probably find more than one unusual September holiday for book promotion on the list to work into your upcoming book promotion schedule.<\/p>\n

Matching books with quirky occasions<\/h2>\n

Here are a couple of ideas from the September calendar to help jumpstart your thought process.<\/p>\n

On September 5<\/strong>, \u201cBe Late for Something Day<\/strong>,\u201d create a social media image honoring the occasion. When sharing it, ask people to respond with what they plan to be late for that day.<\/p>\n

\u201cWife Appreciation Day<\/strong>\u201d on September 15<\/strong> is a springboard for blog posts from people who write about relationships or romance. It\u2019s the perfect opportunity for any author with a wife to blog about why they appreciate her.<\/p>\n

September 28<\/strong> is \u201cNational Good Neighbor Day<\/strong>.\u201d Ask people to share their definition of a \u201cgood neighbor.\u201d The different perspectives could generate interesting insights and discussions.<\/p>\n
