Here is what I’d like to do. I’d like to get corporate/foundation sponsors to buy copies of my Y.A. books for high schools around the country.
I write young adult fiction for kids 12 and up. My publisher is Harlequin. Since the publication of the series I get e-mails daily from students claiming that they didn’t like to read until they started reading my series. The Keysha’s Drama series is about a 16 year old girl whose family support system breaks completely down and she’s forced to live in a group home for teens at risk. In addition the American Library Association selected Keysha’s Drama as a quick pick for reluctant young readers.
I am getting requests from students and high school librarians asking me if I’d visit their school. I live in Illinois and requests have come in from Cleveland, Georgia, California, Michigan and New York. Does anyone have a model of how to get corporations or foundations to support an effort such as this?
