Cross-Promoting Titles: Growing an audience to a new series, spinoff or title

This panel will explore the many ways an author can cross-promote titles to a wide audience while still keeping the core readers satisfied.

DREAMLAND reviews

“The Dreamland audio book was a fun listen. The narrator, Kathleen McInerney, was great because she nailed the voices. . . . Loved it! I am enjoying making my way through this series with Riley. She has come a long way since the first book, making little mistakes and learning as she goes. Although Bodhi is Riley’s mentor, they are becoming more of a team now. I think that Riley may be a little sweet on Bodhi, but in an innocent, flirtatious way. . .How cool is the whole idea of Dreamweaving that Alyson Noel has created? Oh, and the ghost boy who sends nightmares to people?! Now it may be hard for me to sleep at night! Audio is a nice way to enjoy Dreamland and I am so glad I had the opportunity to listen to Riley’s story.” – 4 stars, Reading Vacation (Audio Review)

“I have to congratulate Alyson on another amazing book in the RILEY BLOOM SERIES. . .If you've followed the IMMORTAL SERIES then you're in for a little surprise. I really enjoyed that bit in the novel and I'm hoping for more glimpses . . .All in all a lovely read and full of lessons that some of us could take to heart but in the end Riley is growing into a mature young lady and I cannot wait to see what WHISPER holds for me.”—Bookworms Corner

“Good story! I love that each book brings a new element to Riley's world . . . Riley's loneliness is heartbreaking. She longs for change. Being forever 12 years old isn't the greatest notion to deal with. Ever and Riley have a beautiful scene in this book, that I think fans will love. Dreamland is a fast adventure, a fun read. Fans of this author will have no trouble enjoying this new story.”- Anna’s Book Blog (Audio Review)

“This series is really special and I love recommending it to younger readers. It hits on a lot of topics like self-acceptance, the ability to learn from your mistakes, as well as the important concept of maturity . . . I really can't wait until the next installment.”—BookHounds

“I love the Riley/Bodie dynamic. This third book shows more than ever how attached Riley is to her young guide Bodie . . .This book series is very charming because Riley's delight and enthusiasm are infectious, though she experiences some loneliness and wistfulness, too. It's good to see Riley rising to do things on her own, and while she makes plenty of mistakes, she's always ready and eager to help people. I'm not much of an audiobook listener, but the first-rate narration on this one, combined with a very lovable character made my listening experience truly great. Grade: A-”-All-Consuming Books/Reviews by Tiger (Audiobook Version)

“Everlasting is a strong finish to the Immortals saga . . . Alyson Noel soars with this one.” – Midwest Book Review

"A truly amazing read, a fantastic end to a truly wonderful series."- Dark Readers

“Noel’s long-awaited conclusion to her Immortals series delivers, with a rich and satisfying plot, a complete ending and a healthy mix of wisdom and magic. Fans will be pleased with how well Noel ties up all the loose ends but also gives the book its own exciting plot. You’ll be sad to see the series end, but satisfied with its conclusion.” –4 Stars, RT Magazine

“Wonderful story. Since book one Ever and Damen's journey has been a very bumpy road - but also a spectacular one as well. Everlasting is a great ending to the series. I was very pleased with how things ended and I think fans of this series will be too. Actually I adored the very ending, Ms Noel has done a incredible job of wrapping this up.” 4 Stars, Anna’s Book Blog

"..The book ties up all the plot threads and the story draws back a step to show the bigger picture - the journey of the soul and the meaning of life and true love. The ending completely took me by surprise. I had my suspicions about what might happen but yet again Noel threw in several curveballs to keep me guessing right up to the very end . . . I'm very excited about Alyson Noel's new Soul Seekers series and if it's only half as good as the Immortals then it'll be a winner with me!"---A Dream of Books

“Ever since I started reading EVERMORE back in 2009, I fell in love with the series. I just couldn't wait for the day for the last book to come out and to find out Ever and Damen's fate and what was going to happen. When EVERLASTING arrived, I devoured it in one sitting. I just couldn't stop reading it. . .I was very satisfied with the ending of the book. . . THE IMMORTALS series has had evil characters, likable characters, but most of all, an amazing story written by an amazing author who has shown she has an amazing writing ability. . .THE IMMORTALS series and EVERLASTING are a great addition to any library and I can't wait what Alyson Noel comes up with in her next books.” 5 Stars, The Book Mermaid

“Ever and Damen's journey has been an awesome treat, so fans may greet this final book in the series with bittersweet enthusiasm. But like the previous installments, EVERLASTING will thrill readers with its spicy romance, profound ideas and intense drama. Alyson Noël's writing talents really shine here, and her words surge with emotion. She offers interesting symbolism and deep insight into life's mysteries that will leave teens contemplating these ideas long after the last page is turned. She uses the story-within-a-story technique with the telling of Ever's first life, creating a brief interval in the existing drama to see how the characters' lives all first interacted centuries ago. Her imagination also delivers wondrous visions of Summerland on Ever's difficult journey, and she wraps up the entire series in a conclusion that will bring a sigh of satisfaction. Even though this is the end of the Immortals series, fans will be impatiently waiting to see what Alyson Noël has in store for them next.”--Chris Shanley-Dillman, Teen Reads

“Let me say that this is by far the best series I have ever read. From the first book, until the final, the characters have truly grown…Noel does it beautifully in her final novel in the Immortal Series, due to the wonderful plot and adventures…Everlasting really wraps things up nicely due to all the journeys Ever has to go through.It blew my expectations (2x)…The ending was AMAZING…beautifully written…Thanks to Alyson Noel for creating a beautiful series, I cant wait until her next series comes out next year called Soul Seekers!!”—Loves Books Reviews
