I’m Beautiful Because I Am by Azizi Tuere

Nov 14

Summary

What makes you beautiful? You are beautiful for your hands that create wonderful things, legs that take you on adventures, a brain that makes you curious about the world around you. There is no one else in the world like you. You are beautiful because you are YOU!

A story to inspire every child to see their intrinsic value and unique beauty.

Reaction

The Because I Am… stories are important and inspiring for young readers with positive and uplifting messages and lessons that foster self-celebration and self-love. The books are beatifully put together with a masterful text and illustrations that bring the story alive. The books are a wonderful addition to any home library or classroom and can be used as great dialogue openers with children to talk about gratitude and appreciating everyday moments, feeling good about who you are inside and out, and building self-worth.

As a parent, I even found myself taking the lessons to heart as I went about my day, appreciating moments with my kids that may seem ordinary or mundane on the surface, but are all ways to spend meaningful time together. A great addition to a classroom, library, or home bookshelf.

I am an experienced children’s book marketing professional with more than twenty years in the children’s book publishing industry. I have insight into the workings of children’s book publishers and internal operations and processes, having managed a global marketing department as a Director at Disney Publishing Worldwide for six years and managed teams at Scholastic Inc. for six years, before opening my own children’s book marketing business.

I have worked with a broad range of children’s original titles in the picture book, middle-grade, and young adult categories. I have also spearheaded the campaigns for many licensed book series such as Scooby-Doo, Disney Princess, Harry Potter paperbacks, Pokemon, Powerpuff Girls, Marvel, Lego, Tinkerbell, Matchbox, Winnie the Pooh, and Baby Einstein.

My marketing planning included not only devising the strategies but also conducting competitive analysis reports, writing press releases, articles, blogs, catalog copy, and news pieces for the product. I worked on a daily basis with the editorial teams to bring a successful book to market.

As a freelancer, I provide the following services:

-Marketing plan development (strategy, tactics, social, deliverables, etc.)

-Writing press releases, author bios, catalog copy, book blurbs

-Market research and competitive analysis

-Creating book proposals for authors to submit to publishing houses. Also query letters.

-Book editing and proofreading

-Book reviews

My areas of specialty are picture books, middle-grade, and YA. I love working with self-published authors to help them navigate and understand the publishing process. I also enjoy working with seasoned publishing veterans.

I have an impeccable career history at the highest level at the best publishing houses in the world. Let me help you - and your book - make the leap from good to great! I will help your book get the exposure and readership that it deserves.
