I’m enjoying watching the marketing rollout this week for Chained Birds, including this 19-second Instagram reel created by Kapp Co Digital. My publisher, WildBlue Press, has just onboarded with the marketing firm, and my book is its first beneficiary. Candice Kapp, the firm’s founder and marketing specialist, has been delightful to work with and has embraced all the book’s core themes in producing her company’s short videos. You can see more of Kapp Co’s Reels on X and the publisher’s Instagram feed.
I want to thank everyone at WildBlue Press for all their efforts behind this highly anticipated book launch and for collaborating with Kapp Co Digital … I’m in Philadelphia, so I can say — GO CHAINED BIRDS 🎉 📖 🥂 🥳
