Introducing First Page Panda
Posted by annastan on August 27th, 2010. Filed under: Announcements, First Page Panda.I’ve been working on a top secret project for the past few weeks, and it’s finally time to tell you all about it! Friend and fellow author Alisa Libby and I have created First Page Panda, a website that’s all about promoting books. Here’s our official spiel:
Did you know that pandas love to read? Well, they do. And we want them to read your books.
At First Page Panda, our goal is to offer a free outlet for book promotion where readers can browse book blurbs and read first pages of a wide variety of YA and children’s novels—not just the top-selling mainstream titles that crowd the shelves of the average chain bookstore.
We plan on featuring traditionally-published books released in the past twelve months as well as those coming out soon. We’re excited to share first-page excerpts from new and upcoming releases with pandas (and people) everywhere. After all, what could sell a book better than the author’s own words?
The site will be officially launching in September, so stay tuned! If you’d like to pop by and become a follower, it would make the little panda smile. And if you’d like your novel to be featured on First Page Panda, email us at contact@firstpagepanda.com.
Have a great weekend!

This is such a great idea, Anna! I think this will be a great resource for YA librarians too. I’ll spread the word.
