About: When I Grow Up, by Julie Chen
One night while getting ready for bed a little boy starts to wonder what will life be like when he grows up. He could be a painter, a musician, a mountain climber, a mayor… He tells his mother all about his big ideas…and all of the other things he wants to do. But when will he grow up? And why does it take so long? |

Julie Chen, author of When I Grow Up:
Q: Julie, you are a successful TV personality, wife, mom, and now author. When I Grow Up is your debut book and it's for kids. Why write a children's book?
A: I was approached by Simon and Schuster soon after becoming a mom to my son Charlie, asking would o be interested. At first I thought about doing a Chinese new year book to teach my son the traditions and why we celebrate the way we do. But then I thought I would love to let him know that no matter what he chooses in life, I’ve got his back. I will support him and believe in him.

Word-of-Mouth says it all!
You are SUCH a GEM!! Jane is a visionary. From the moment I chatted with her on the phone to the several events we have under our belt together now she never ceases to surprise me with her marketing prowess, fierce love of her authors and her absolute get it done nature. I took a leap of faith with Bedside Reading and it has paid off ten fold. I believe in Jane’s ingenuity, she doesn’t just take on the words in a book, she takes on the author and she truly cares. I will promote all of my books through Bedside Reading, Jane has made me a lifer. |
Is there anything better than having a decision maker, an influencer or a CEO waking up next to your book on the nightstand?
We don't think so. It's your name we want them to wake up to. It's your book that's by their bedside.
What better way to promote your name (your brand) to these hotel guests. Our program is designed to promote you, the author, as a brand. It's your name and we want people to recognize it over and over again.
We work with all the major publishers around the world, and we also love working with independent publishers and authors. Genres include fiction, nonfiction, children's, business, lifestyle/spa and spiritual. Each book that is placed in the program is offered a placement in two hotels and/or a weekend in the Hamptons program.

Word-of-Mouth
I've worked with Jane Ubell and Madison & Mulholland for several years now to bring my titles to a wide variety of tastemakers across the country, starting with Hamptons Jitney giveaways and merging into distributions at premiere hotels nationwide. With every single activation I'm more and more impressed with the creativity and professionalism of the corporation. I'd highly recommend the programs to anyone looking to build buzz for their products!"

This is SO fantastic, Thank you" - Kensington Publisher Corp.
Jane Ubell, you’re “the Oprah for the affluent” - Dianne Collins, Author of "Do You Quantum Think?"
"We placed our first book "It's Just So..." into the Bedside Reading Hamptons program last August. The results were quite dramatic. We had no other promotions going on the time and we were surprised to see our ranking and sales on Amazon spiked. We went from 1.6 million to about 200,000 in just a couple of days. Soon after we were at 31,300. Again, we had no other specific promotion at the time. We went on to incorporate the ad images in our other social media promotions. We could not be happier with the program. We were so thrilled with Jane's efforts we are placing our sequel book, "It's Just So Little" with her in the Bedside Reading program at the Acqualina Resort & Spa. We absolutely love working with her." - Peter Trimarco, "It's Just So..."

What To Expect From the Program
Creating a best seller is a team effort. It takes dedication and support from strong programs and media platforms. Bedside Reading offers that support and resources, but we need YOU to be an active partner in the marketing of your book. Whether you join us for one month or a full year, you're part of the family and our mission is to help you get the word out about your book.
To make your marketing efforts as simple as possible, we send you pre-formatted social media posts for Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest. So, it's copy/paste easy to manage your social media marketing for the month.
We also send you a 30-day author's marketing guide to help you make the most of the exposure you'll be getting.
