It\u2019s time to have a little fun with your book promotion, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

In addition to several literary holidays<\/a>, June brings a fun selection of quirky, off-beat occasions you can use to call attention to your book online.<\/p>\n

Some opportunities on the June calendar will jump right out at you like a grasshopper in new field grass. You might have to look a little harder for others.<\/p>\n

Whether your opportunities are obvious or harder to see, looking for them and linking them to your book can be a nice change from what you\u2019ve been dealing with in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

How to take advantage of jazzin’ June holidays<\/h2>\n

Not sure how to go about pairing your book with any of these fun holidays below? Here are a few examples to get you started.<\/p>\n

\n
• June 2 is\u00a0National Bubba Day<\/strong>, an occasion you can take advantage of if your book is about best friends, or if you\u2019d like to blog about your bubba<\/a> and what that person means to you. It\u2019s a perfect match for an early readers book that releases June 1, The Adventures of Bubba Jones<\/a>.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
  \n
  • I can see Kris Bordesa using June 10, Herbs and Spices Day<\/strong>, to call attention to her popular new book, Attainable Sustainable: The Lost Art of Self-Reliant Living<\/a> <\/em>(I just love that cover!).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n
    • What about International Panic Day <\/strong>on June 18? There\u2019s nothing like a heart-stopping thriller to generate a little reader panic. It\u2019s also an opportunity for the author of a book on anxiety, including the memoir Little Panic: Dispatches from an Anxious Life<\/a><\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      After you matched your book with the right occasions, create and schedule blog posts<\/a>,\u00a0tip sheets<\/a>, or social media images<\/a>.<\/p>\n

      Which can you add to your book promotion calendar?<\/h2>\n
