About the Parties
The release of a new book is something to celebrate. Each story winging out into the world deserves a communal "HURRAH!" We're tapping into the power of Twitter, a social network, to spread the buzz about new books for kids, teens, and tweens.Each author or illustrator who wants a party agrees to spread the news about the other books (do your best, no stress), and we welcome any and all bookies, booksellers, or bloggers to celebrate also. It's easy to set the party up to happen automatically in your twitter stream or you may hand-tweet your kudos as well. Join us on Twitter to get started -- you'll find us at @bookbday.

How to Auto-Party
Here's an easy step-by-step guide to auto-tweeting these parties (for even the most twitter-challenged.) Remember, you don't have to auto-tweet -- you can re-tweet the book parties on your own, too.
1. Sign up for twitterfeed, an application which automatically posts an rss feed to your twitter stream.
2. Click on "Create New Feed." Call it "Twitter Book Parties." Enter the RSS feed for this blog: http://feeds2.feedburner.com/TwitterBookParties
3. Update Frequency: Choose every 30 minutes and post up to 1 new update.
4. Leave "Post Link" UNCHECKED.
5. Post Content: Include "description only."
6. Post Sorting: Post new items based on "guid" and CHECK "feed is sorted."
7. Post Prefix: Enter something short and pithy like "Twitter Book Party!"
6. Post Suffix: Enter "#bookbday"
One post will show up in your twitter stream to indicate to me that you're an auto-partier. From then on, blog posts from this blog will tweet from your stream in this simple format: TITLE | @twitterhandle | genre | publisher | bit.ly link to IndieBound | #bookbday.
Feel free to send personalized messages of admiration and delight to the author or illustrator on publication day as well.

For Authors or Illustrators
If you're on twitter and have written or illustrated a traditionally published book for children or teens that's about to be published, follow @bookbday, and DM or direct message the publication date | TITLE | @twittername | genre | publisher (Genre key: PB = Picture Book, CB = Chapter Book, MG = Middle Grade, YA = Young Adult, NF = Nonfiction.) I'll need at least a week in advance of your launch date to get the party set up.
The day your book releases (full list here), we'll spread the news, raise a glass, break out the chocolate, and virtually party with you. I’ll also provide a link to an independent bookseller of your choice (send me the link featuring your book) or to IndieBound so that thousands of tweeps can buy your book. In exchange, you agree to re-tweet toasts to the other books as often as you can -- do your best, don't stress out.
Make it easy to tweet these parties. Since this is a one-woman job for now (it's me, Mitali Perkins, most recently the author of BAMBOO PEOPLE from Charlesbridge and SECRET KEEPER from Delacorte, but I welcome other party planners who want to help), I've tried to keep this simple. Follow these instructions, and each twitter party will appear automatically in your twitter stream on the day of each book's release. Feel free to send personalized messages of admiration and delight to the author or illustrator on publication day as well.

Tweets from the fêted authors:
Deborah Heiligman (COOL DOG, SCHOOL DOG): Biggest story for me on twitter: #bookbday for Cool Dog, School Dog. I had to upgrade my website 'cause of traffic!
Mary Pearson (THE MILES BETWEEN): Usually pub day is pretty quiet but with #bookbday I felt like a brass band had shown up at my door to help me celebrate. I'm still smiling.
Jennifer Brown (HATE LIST): I was blown away by my #bookbday! So many well-wishes, so many great new followers! It was a real party & made my big day even more special.
John Lechner (THE CLEVER STICK): #Bookbday was a great experience. The supportive tweets from friends and strangers were so wonderful, & helped spread the word about my book.
Eric Luper (BUG BOY): Usually launch day is a quiet Tuesday, but thanks to #bookbday, it was exciting and action-packed!
Kate Messner (THE BRILLIANT FALL OF GIANNA Z.): Went hiking in the Adirondacks to celebrate my book's release day and returned home to an explosion of happy #bookbday messages! I loved sharing the day and having that connection with readers and other writers.
Kim Vandervort (THE SONG AND THE SORCERESS): Celebrating release of Song and the Sorceress with my twitter #bookbday was great fun! Excellent promo for my book, & made new friends too!
Melissa Thomson (KEENA FORD): Bookbdays have made me feel like I'm part of a great community of authors & others in the book world. And my #bookbday was such fun!
Jill Alexander (THE SWEETHEART OF PROSPER COUNTY): From the initial tweet to the retweets, THE SWEETHEART OF PROSPER COUNTY found new audiences thanks to the #bookday bump.
Dina Nayeri Viergutz (ANOTHER FAUST): Having a book birthday was wonderful! I came home to find 100 messages, which was so uplifting. Being out of the country I didn't get to have a big celebration, and the twitter party made me feel so happy and not removed from it.
Christine Marciniak (WHEN MIKE KISSED EMMA): #bookbday made my launch day extra special. It was wonderful to know all these people were celebrating my book release with me.
Melissa Stewart (UNDER THE SNOW): So many people reached out to me and made the day truly special. Plus I connected with a half dozen new followers.
Diana Peterfreund (RAMPANT): I had a great experience! I love the auto posts and I got lots of feedback the day of mine. It's a great program!
Sara Lewis Holmes (OPERATION YES): #Bookbday = fun day, plus loads of interesting new readerly tweeters to follow later. Also: fuel for my TBR pile. :)
Jo Knowles (JUMPING OFF SWINGS): #bookbday was a wonderful online launch party with friends and strangers sending cheers throughout the day. It was a terrific way to both celebrate and spread the word about my new book.
