Thank you so much for your well thought out responses. I am forwarding your excellent suggesstions to the programmer. I, however, am wondering what you meant by "pitch it right" to the newspapers? Would you please elaborate a bit? I wanted to make the site affordable for ALL children, hence the low price. But I will definetely give that some more thought. |

Here's the lede:
Dwayne Goes To Camp is a children's book. It tells the story of how Dwayne Williams, aged 6, went away to camp and ate s'mores. You can't buy Dwayne Goes To Camp at Borders, though: there is only one copy, and the owner isn't selling.
"It is awesome, especially the part about camp", said Dwayne Williams, aged 6.
Dwayne Goes To Camp is the brainchild of Susan YourLastNameHere, who at 5,307 books written in August alone may well be the world's most prolific children's writer. She was inspired to write the books, each individually personalized to the child who owns it, after noticing that struggling readers in her classes read best when reading stories which engaged their own lives and concerns.
"Every child wants to be the hero of their own story", said LastNameHere.

Seriously, you've got a quirky human interest piece with a doogooder angle on a silver platter for your friendly neighborhood education, style, or metro reporter.
