GOOD DIFFERENT Virtual Tour Schedule – Mar-April 2023

I’m so excited to share the GOOD DIFFERENT tour schedules! Look below for online events and posts, but make sure to check back as we get closer as dates may change. Make sure to follow along the tour for chances to win in the blog tour giveaway (more info below)!

April is particularly a great time to celebrate GOOD DIFFERENT as April is Autism Acceptance Month and National Poetry Month! Notice I say acceptance, not awareness as most folks are aware that autism exists, yet we still struggle to receive acceptance in a neurotypical world. Sharing stories from Actually Autistic authors is a great way to support Autism Acceptance!

Want to celebrate with me? Here are things you can do to help:

• Enter and share about the tour giveaway
• Share tour posts
• Attend an online or in-person event
• Request GOOD DIFFERENT at your library
• Preorder GOOD DIFFERENT!
• Leave a review for GOOD DIFFERENT on Goodreads and/or Amazon (after April 4th)
• Tell your friends about the book (especially educators and librarians)–or buy them a copy as a gift!
