A press release has been circulating around the internet about “The Pie, The Pie, and Oh That Smell!” by Connie Smith
Media coverage has been one of the most effective marketing tools for announcing a new book in the literary world, aside from conventional approaches. Press releases have been used to spread the news, which fosters media coverage growth. Essentially, a press release is a key that helps spread the word and reach target audiences.
The article that has been circulating in the digital world allows the actualization of the following benefits: (1) engages media, (2) builds relationships, (3) increases customer engagement, (4) establishes credibility, and (5) becomes the new face of public relations. In this sense, readers will get to know the message of the book and the author.
The US Review of Books (USRB) commended “The Pie, The Pie, and Oh That Smell!,” written by Connie Smith and published by Author Reputation Press. The commendation highlights,
“Images in the book of the happy family working together to not just make food but also clean up the inevitable mess that follows can make even the hard work look like fun. Children may also want to read the story multiple times to appreciate the upbeat attitude and good message but also to find a hidden chicken in every illustration. This book, with its large illustrations, colorful characters, and warm, inviting tone, not only shows kids how parents need and deserve gratitude for their efforts but also opens up the conversation about children pitching in on tasks that they may take an interest in when they are old enough to handle them.”
