“I worked with James and the Rebel Reading Society to help with promotion around my latest book The Midnight Sweet Factory. I’m not the best on social media, but their help was instrumental to growing my followers and creating a larger presence and better engagement all round. James is incredibly active in promoting books to schools, teachers, librarians, getting your books into the hands of new readers.  
 

I’d strongly recommend the Rebel Reading Society’s services to any author in need of a helping hand. It’s great to have them in your corner!”

"Working with James and The Rebel Reading Society has been such a joy. It's clear that James has enormous passion for getting children reading and is constantly seeking out opportunities to spotlight my books and get them into the hands of young readers across the country. Working with him has opened doors that wouldn't have been accessible before, whether that be on social media or with real-life schools. Not only that, but he's always available for a quick strategy call should it be needed. I really feel like my books are in very safe hands and I can't recommend the Rebel Reading Society enough!"

“I’ve really enjoyed working with James and the Rebel Reading Society. James’ knowledge of what works for schools has been invaluable in helping me structure my presentations and workshops, and his advice and coaching has given me more confidence in my event work. It’s great to be part of a group that’s genuinely invested in getting kids reading, with opportunities to connect with readers and other authors, too. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for fresh ideas and support!”

“Rebel Reading Society feedback- loads of enthusiasm! I especially love it when we see all the kid’s hands opening the boxes and all the 'ooooh' noises! Our books disappear from our publishers’ radars so fast, and finding time for marketing is like pushing a boulder uphill, especially if you don't really enjoy social media! It's so nice to see your book constantly popping up, makes it feel still current. Seeing it in the hands of kids is so lovely, so much marketing is just a static photo of the book, or the author waving it about. 

 

Also, with the age group for my book being tweens and young teens I know they're unlikely to be on social media, so it's hard for me to reach the kids directly. I can see you getting the books straight into the hands of whole classrooms of kids, hopefully some of them will love it and want their own copy, or the school might stock extras.

​

Creating a buzz hopefully helps my chances when Fox & Ink next have an acquisitions meeting!

​

I'll definitely be using you for my next book, if I get published again, and I can afford you, now you're becoming a megastar!”
