How appropriate that this comes along just as I have been posting lately on how to read literature. Well, that will continue and with the proper scholarly input as suggested, but for now, there is another way we can help readers to simply take the first steps.
From the weblog of M. J. Rose, a published author of 5 novels and several non-fiction books:
"THE HALO EFFECT is just the first book in the GOOD BOOK/GOOD CAUSE BLOG-A-THON series. I’ll be blogging about how it goes and if it takes off watch this space to get information about how to get involved with your book and/or your author.
"In the meantime, if you want to help raise some money for a good cause, all you have to do is blog about M.J. Rose’s novel THE HALO EFFECT including a link to the short animated film for the novel (http://www.vidlit.com/mj/) just once! And $5 dollars will be donated to the nonprofit literary organization Reading is Fundamental. (If you want a copy of the book for review. contact lcerand at gmail.com while supplies last.)"
"BLOG-A-THON" campaign
"The goal of this two-week campaign is to connect book lovers with a good cause and a great summer read via the vidlit for THE HALO EFFECT.
"I’ve secured pledges from real-life supporters – my publisher, agent, family and friends – who will collectively donate $5 to the nonprofit literacy organization, Reading Is Fundamental , for each website or blog that links to the Vidlit for THE HALO EFFECT before July 19.
"The goal is to get at least 500 blogs to link and raise $2500+ for the charity.
