Teresa McCloy & Lindsay Sterchi on Organizing a Creative Book Launch

The Daily Writer with Kent Sanders

One of the core functions of being an author is launching your books. After you’ve written a book and gone through all the steps to publish it… it has to be launched out into the world. I’ve seen book launches in all shapes and sizes. I’ve done a few of my own, in addition to helping my ghostwriting clients with their launches at times.

One of those themes is that authors know they need to market their books, but get confused about how, when, and where to start.

My guest today is Mary Click. She is the National Intergenerational Tutoring Director for the Oasis Institute, a nonprofit educational organization that promotes healthy aging through lifelong learning, active lifestyles, and service.

Oasis Intergenerational Tutoring has positively impacted over 525,000 children since its inception in 1989, and has been implemented in more than 100 school districts across the country. The award-winning volunteer program pairs older adults with children in grades K-3 to work one-on-one each week not only as tutors, but as mentors and positive role models.

In her role with Oasis, Mary is responsible for developing resources to support the tutoring program in nine Oasis centers and independent sites in twenty cities. Mary collaborates closely with school district administrators, school district facilitators, and the Oasis network tutoring staff to serve volunteer tutors participating in the program. She previously served as the St. Louis Tutoring Manager and held other project management roles during her 15-year tenure at The Oasis Institute.

In this conversation, Mary and I talk about the importance of childhood literacy, how schools have changed over the last few decades, how reading impacts kids in many different ways, and how you can get involved as a tutor.
