April 23 was the traditional World Book Day, although in the United Kingdom, the day was March 6. World Book Day, which is also Copyright Day, was started in 1996 by UNESCO.
To keep the book rolling, so to speak, now we also have July 27 as the International Day of Books. This day is for serious writers who just happen not to be published yet. The goal is to provide a way for authors from all over the world to collaborate over the next few months on publishing and promoting books. Write a book of 12,000 to 15,000 words by July 1, 2008. (Yikes—we have a month!) Then promote the launch of your book and International Day of Books. Lulu is the publisher. As a reader, I’ve ordered books from Lulu a number of times and have been pleased with the professional look, speed, and reasonable cost. This sounds like a fabulous motivator (deadlines always help) and an excellent way to promote books and reading on a worldwide basis. How splendid is that?
