TESTIMONIAL:
From A Fellow Author –
“In the ever-changing world of publishing, authors need to find creative ways to reach their target audience.
With StoryCub’s video versions of my picture books, I have reached far more readers than I could have with just reviews and endorsements alone.
I believe the main reason for this is because with the videos, I have something to offer potential sites to share with their readers.
StoryCub videos has also led to contracts for the texts of my stories with publishers such as The Chart Institute in Japan, Oxford University Press and Pearson Education, among others.
As an author who visits schools, I also use my StoryCub videos when I am speaking in front of large auditoriums. Speaking in a microphone, while holding-up a picture book for hundreds of kids to see, is virtually impossible.
StoryCub has enhanced my author presentations by allowing me to show the videos for all to see, which then leads to great question and answer sessions with the kids.
With viewership in over 150 countries, StoryCub has been an invaluable resource for sharing my work with kids, educators, and parents across the world.

How We Market YOUR Children’s Picture BOOK
BUILT FOR TODAY’S DIGITAL FAMILIES
Over 60% of pre-school-aged children’s families are in households where both parents work full-time. As much as there is the belief that parents should read with their children each and every day, there are times when they simply cannot. StoryCub is always available, 24/7 – 365.
WE DELIVER ONE EXPERIENCE WHILE PROMOTING ANOTHER
Our “Call To Action” for parents to purchase your book and read with their children is not subtle. Your Video Picture Book™ will encourage parents to visit the StoryCub website for the latest information and link(s) on how to easily find where your book can be purchased.

Multiple impressions and the importance of reading are always our message. StoryCub is viewed in over 200 countries, and our reach is most likely much larger than what you can do on your own.
