What is a street team?
A street team is a group of fans that band together to support an artist, author, band, or other such products. Street teams offer a way for authors to connect with their readers and work together to spread the love of books.
What’s in it for readers?
This street team is a way for me to give back to my readers. As a member, you will join the online Facebook group and help spread the word about my books. In return, you will receive:
- A special welcome pack (#freebooks!) with surprises for you to keep and to share with other readers.
- A Facebook members only group for open discussions on the books, indie publishing, marketing, and anything else you would like to talk about.
- Special missions including a drawing for members only if you complete the mission. The prizes will include things like signed books, tote bags, mugs, and t-shirts.
- Insider information about my works in progress, publishing/social media tips, and other cool info.
