It may be September, but planning for MCBD2020 is already in full swing!
There is a ton of new and exciting things to share and just as many exciting new things in the works for our SEVENTH global celebration of diversity in children’s literature.
New Victories at MCBD
We launched our newest FREE Physical and Developmental Challenges Classroom Kit. Get the scoop HERE.
During our July Flash Sale, we welcomed two very impressive MCBD2020 Platinum Sponsors (both are long-time supporters of MCBD): Language Lizard and Pack-n-Go-Girls!
Co-founder Mia Wenjen published not one but TWO new diverse books! (click the images to view details of each of these books)
Long-time MCBD Project Manager, Becky Flansburg, also co-authored and published a diverse picture book!
But the thing we are most excited about at this very moment is that Sponsorships (all levels) for MCBD2020 are officially OPEN!
**NOTE: Sponsorships are not a way to *pay* for reviews–it’s an opportunity to tap into a huge book community (made up of young readers, parents, teachers, and librarians), take advantage of our vibrant and efficient social media network, and gain visibility for your work.
All while supporting a passionate non-profit dedicated to getting diverse/multicultural books into the hands of young readers.
The Scoop on SPONSORSHIP LEVELS for MCBD2020:

*Sponsorships are only offered from September to January 1 of any given year and are a unique marketing tool to help authors, publishers, and organizations to tap into the HUGE momentum and buzz that surrounds our on and offline event. MCBD2020 is on 1/31/20, but things really start to get exciting and crazy around November 1.
*As part of your Sponsorship for MCBD2020, you will be matched with as many (or as few) reviewers as you would like. We have a huge pool of over 800 people who sign up to get a free diverse book (supplied by you) and they, in turn, share their review and thoughts of your book on their own social media channels during the month of January.
*The buzz during our holiday is enormous and our hashtag #ReadYourWorld has historically trended on Twitter during the celebration day.
*If you choose a Medallion level Sponsorship, your logo and 2-3 book cover images become part of our active Pinterest Pinning initiative (Pinterest is a huge traffic driver for us)
*You will have a listing and links on either our Medallion Level Sponsor Page or Author Level (whichever level you choose) and that information will remain on our site for one year.
*If you choose a Medallion Level (Platinum through Bronze) your linked logo will appear on the sidebar of the MCBD site and stay there for one year.
*Your information is promoted and shared via social media from the moment you sign up and the promotion of your book or business will become heavier as the online celebration nears.
*GO HERE to download our Sponsorship Packet so you will have deeper details and rates.

The deadline for ALL Sponsor sign-ups is 12/15/19.
We look forward to working with you!
