Selling SEL: Tying Social Emotional Learning into Writing & Marketing | with author, speaker, and book reviewer, Meredith Davis
📚 POV: You're a kidlit author struggling with ZERO 0️⃣ SALES. 🥹 Figuring out why your book isn’t moving can feel like climbing Mount Everest. But here’s one shortcut that can boost you: tapping into Social Emotional Learning (SEL).
💥When done right, SEL takes your story from just another book on the shelf to a powerful teaching tool for kids of all ages. And no, we’re not talking about outdated, didactic storytelling or heavy-handed moral lessons. That’s old-school. 📖 We’re talking a gentle weave of pillars like self-awareness and self-management.
💪 According to @CASEL and other experts, SEL is IN and it’s here to stay. Librarians, teachers, and parents are looking for it…so scoop up this opportunity to serve!
