Since Easy to Love but Hard to Raise: Real Parents, Challenging Kids, True Stories, was published as of February 1, things have been going GREAT for the book, the editors, and the writers who contributed to our collection of essays.
We’ve been selling books, talking to folks, and creating fellowship and community among beleaguered parents of children with invisible disabilities, mental illnesses, and brain-based special needs everywhere!
The book’s been reviewed, the editors have been giving talks, the authors have been doing readings, newspaper articles have been written…and now it’s time for a book tour! A blog tour, that is, because let’s not go too crazy: we’re operating on a shoestring budget in our teeny tiny publishing company. We’d love to send Adrienne and Kay cross-country talking to folks about the trials and tribulations and stresses of parenting highly unpredictable children, but that’s not in the budget.
So we’ll do it, virtual-style.
Here’s the plan: if you are a BLOGGER or a WRITER or have a FOLLOWING on Facebook, we’d love for you to be part of our summer book blog tour. In exchange for a scheduled review, guest post, blog interview, podcast, or a Facebook or Twitter interview, or something else you’ve thought of…you will get a copy of the book (or 2, if you’d like to do a give-away), cross-promotion on the Easy to Love blog and Facebook page, and our undying appreciation and LOVE.
All of this will go down this summer.
E-mail Adrienne at editorial@drtpress.com to volunteer. We hope to have everything scheduled by the end of May, so don’t wait to long to contact us.
