Here's why the YA2U Team should come to MY hometown!
As I live in the UK, I won't be voting. But why should you vote for your hometown?Don't just give voting a miss because you think that other people will vote for you. One vote could be all it takes!Authors visiting towns for book tours and such helps people read their books! You never know, somebody could pick up one of these amazing books and it could change their life! Books offer such an opportunity to escape and I know how much they have helped me.With the authors visiting libraries and bookshops on the stop, it is also a great promotion for them! With many people buying their books online now, bookshops aren't being given the business they deserve. And many libraries are under threat because of their lack of funding. We can't let online shops take over, can we?!
And one of the main reasons: you can get your books signed! I love book signings because you get to meet your favorite authors! It's a great experience and is also very inspiring.
Why should the YA2U Team come to your hometown? Why not join in the fun today and share with others about this program and your hometown. The more votes your town gets, the closer you are to having your very own personal tour stop! Vote for YOUR town here!
And if you help spread the word, you can also participate in the book giveaway. Tell them that you learned about YA2U from me and we both get extra entries in the contest! a Rafflecopter giveaway
