One of the most effective marketing or promotional methods for children's books is when one person tells another who tells another about a product or service. I've been writing action-adventures & mysteries for kids for nearly 12 years. Since all of my books so far have been published by small, independent presses, I have to rely on as much word-of-mouth promotion as possible.
