I am so grateful for your help in spreading the word about Mango Rash: Coming of Age in the Land of Frangipani and Fanta.
Here are instructions for how to proceed:
- Using the buttons at the bottom of this page, download the zip file(s) of graphics for any or all social media you regularly use -- Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.
- Beginning October 18, please choose any of the graphics and post at least once a day until at least October 25. With each post, please include this link to the book's listing on Amazon: https://tinyurl.com/yyabxk7k
- If you're posting to Twitter, post twice a day, if possible (you can use Tweetdeck to schedule posts in advance). Also please include these hashtags in Twitter posts: #MangoRashMemoir #memoir #books #Samoa #Pacific #authors #travel, as well as the Amazon link (https://tinyurl.com/yyabxk7k). If space permits, you can use additional hashtags, e.g. #1960s and #adolescence.
- Feel free to add your own comments with the posts, or use the ones listed below, or just post the graphics without any additional remarks. You can also quote from the editorial reviews that are posted on the book's listing on Amazon (just be sure to acknowledge the reviewer whose words you're quoting.)
- Keep in mind that the official publication date is October 22, so you can promote with "Coming soon" or words to that effect before that date and "Just out," "New book," etc. after that date.
