Flamingo Rampant Champions cohort

 

bring the love in february for a flamingo rampant book

We are looking for “champions” for the month of February for our Flamingo Love campaign!

What you’ll do:

Your task will be to pick one Flamingo Rampant title, and spend February hyping that title (and FR generally) however you think best - social media, placing articles, calling libraries, the sky’s the limit. We’ll give you 5 copies to give away to help you out, and all the giveaway winners will be entered for a grand prize of $100 FR Gift Card at the end, but we won’t give a lot of direction except some basic guidelines - this will be your character solo.

What you’ll get:

  • a copy of your chosen book to keep.

  • we will write you a reference for future use, fill out whatever forms you need to get credit, or both

  • A two hour Q&A (as a group) to ask any and all publishing questions you may have.

  • Your metrics (how many of your book sold during February, and we will also tell you if you were ranked in the top 5.)

What’s in it for you:

More queer and trans books in the world, a big middle finger to book-banners and fascists, an opportunity to learn about publishing, the possibility of college/university credit, the chance to meet other awesome people who love queer and trans children’s books.

How to apply:

Send an email by using the contact form by JAN 17th and tell us: what 3 books you would most like to champion (rank them 1-3), why you’re right for the job, and what you love about your #1 choice book. Feel free to submit text, video, slides, or whatever you think shows off your skills (you can’t attach files, so please Include a link where we can view whatever you made). We will let you know by Jan 25th if you got a spot.

Who should apply:

Anyone can apply, but especially students in publishing, marketing, communications, education, and related fields or people just starting out in publishing/marketing/pr who want a campaign to show prospective employers are encouraged. We are looking for self-starters with great digital skills, so if you’re not sure where to find things or how to link your work this probably isn’t the right project for you.
