Author Dora Crow wrote to tell me about a clever way she’s using YouTube<\/a> to promote her book.<\/p>\n

“In order to share the story of Winky & Wonder, I’ve begun reading my children’s book on YouTube <\/a>as an online ‘Children’s Storytime.’ I uploaded the prologue<\/a> a few days ago, and today I uploaded the first chapter (in Part 1<\/a> and Part 2,<\/a>\u00a010 minutes each). I plan to upload one chapter
each week.”<\/p>\n
