Nearly two years into the pandemic, I’ve found myself not only reading more but also drinking more wine. Food and drink can set the tone for an experience, just as it can complement your dinner. As Ooligan strives to promote the experiences of the Pacific Northwest, I’ve chosen five wines from the area and paired them with favorite books from my collection.
Posting in an authentic and engaging way can widen your audience and generate buzz around your title, but a smart social media strategy requires an understanding of who is using each platform and why, and what aspects of a book translate best across each network.
Ooligan boasts a unique, broad range of quality titles that could all find loyal readers in new environments if given the chance. Just imagine Finding the Vein in bookstores in Denmark or Forgive Me if I’ve Told You This Before in Braille. These books have meaningful impacts, and the more audiences we can reach, the greater the number of people who have the chance to fall in love with these stories like we did.
Fantasy series are great, but sometimes the intermittent, book-induced depression is too much to handle. You watch the days tick by, itching to get your hands on an advanced copy of the sequel and wallowing in sorrow until the next book is finally released. If like me, you are tired of the agony, then I have the perfect book recommendations for you.
The holidays are just around the corner, and gift-buying slumps are inevitable. Let’s face it—some people are just hard to shop for. They have everything they need, or you simply don’t have ideas on what to get them. This season don’t just pick up a gift card; instead, consider giving the gift of reading.
With print sales booming once again, it is more important than ever to reimagine the way that literature is consumed and subsequently shared. The successful launch of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in full color in 2020 did just that. Revisiting the most revered mid-grade YA fantasy of all time satisfied the varied interests and intentions of collectors, original readers, and emerging readers alike.
Thanks to the internet, whether you are an independent author, a publisher, a big press or a small one, you can maximize the availability of your book by using the three major formats for books: print, EPUB, and Mobi.
Everyone likes Filipino food, and we are shamelessly capitalizing on that love. After all, when else will we get to work on a book with the words “egg rolls” in the title?
Here at Ooligan, we’re in the final stages of publishing our newest nonfiction book, FROM KNOWLEDGE TO POWER, by Dr. John Perona. In anticipation of the book’s release on November 30, 2021, here are five books you can read on climate science and advocacy to start thinking about the state of our climate.
Have there been instances where you wished you had some sort of heads-up about something in a book? Are there things that are hard no’s, where if a book contains anything relating to that subject matter, you won’t touch it? Are there things that are okay in certain situations or if you’re in the right headspace? Keeping these warnings in mind can prepare you and arm you with tools to decide whether or not you’d like to continue at a later date or pass altogether.
