Letter from Cevin November 2013
Before I tell you what’s in store for November, I want to say a heartfelt thank you for making Publishers Weekly’s all-new Children’s Starred Reviews Annual – 2013 a success. Without you it wouldn’t have happened, and it’s a phenomenal issue, including the “50 Best Children’s Books” and more than 350 starred reviews of children’s books. It’ll be in your mailbox and online come November 12th. Wide newsstand distribution, a POD version, online ordering for single copies and distribution at ALA Midwinter and the Winter Institute 9 in January all serve to get your message and brand out there, into the hands of influential book buyers. There’s been quite a bit of buzz about this issue already.
