Custom Author Confetti from The Confetti Bar

For those of you who don’t know, books have always been a big part of my life. (My mother is a librarian and I got my B.A. in English. So did my brother. And my first “real” job out of college was working in book publishing. So yes, books are clearly a thing in my family.)

So maybe now it’s not a surprise that I’ve also written and self-published two books myself. (Contemporary romances…yes, the 18+ kind 😉 )

So it’s probably not a surprise that I also LOVE making custom book confetti (what I like to call “bookfetti.”)

Srsly, what a fun way to celebrate a book launch. Everything is better in miniature, right? Book covers are certainly no exception.

You can even use it to promote yourself as an author — hashtags, book titles, social media handles, websites —you name it, we’ll turn it into confetti. (That should be our new slogan!)

Visualize Your Story: An Insagram Workshop for Writers and Editors from Heidi Fiedler

And today is an extra special literary themed day because my favorite writer, editor, and idea girl, Heidi Fiedler, just launched her new online workshop, Visualize Your Story: An Instagram Workshop for Writers and Editors.

Guess what else? Yours truly is featured as part of the course materials where I share some of my best tips for growing your Insta following. More details to come, but if you’re an author (or editor), you’re going to want to check this out pronto. 

(You’ll also probably want to check out our Celebration Story by author Deirdre Riordan Hall — she shares how she used some #TheConfettiBar goodness to celebrate the release of her novel, Pearl.)

PS Remember that time Margaret Atwood tweeted that she loved her custom book confetti? Good times.

Tell me — what are some of your favorite books??
