Karen Robertson: Your App Publishing Expert Guide
Karen's Treasure Kai and the Lost Gold of Shark Island book app launched in 2011 and has won recognition and awards including being named a Digital Storytime “Top 25 Most Essential Children’s Book App” and winning “Best in Category” for apps at the New Media Film Festival in San Francisco.
After launching her first book app, Karen was repeatedly asked to write articles and speak about how she turned her book into a book app. She found that articles barely scratched the surface of what people needed to know so she wrote her first eBook, Author’s Guide to Book Apps and launched her blog, Digital Kid’s Author. She’s now an international speaker on the topic.
Karen has found that making a book app is one thing, but selling one is a whole different story! So after months of trying different marketing techniques with “wins” and “bombs”, and after consistently selling Treasure Kai on a daily basis for eight months, and after dozens of coaching calls about marketing with other authors and developers, she’s written her second eBook, How to Market a Book App and other kids apps.
Coming in 2012 are the new book app, Treasure Kai and the Seven Cities of Gold, a game app and webinars and training videos about making and marketing book apps.
Karen is passionate about helping other authors and writers understand the opportunity that book apps are for illustrated children’s books and is thrilled to be working with the Children’s Book Insider team to bring value to members.
