Hi Devlin

Hope all is well with you and your family. Hope your dear children are still enjoying my books.

Remember our effort to partner for the books for the kids' meals?

I am calling it: FEED THE READ

It is based on the model from the Moonlight Company.

I attach the image of the giveaway.

- A customer buys a product.

- Has 7 days to send an image of the receipt for proof of purchase.

- They get a one-time use only code to download a Mangoville book. That means the code cannot be shared.

- The Code will have an expiry date.

As you can see from the URLs that it was a dual lingual offer and so there are opportunities for this offer during Creole Heritage Month with stories in creole.

With permission from OctoCorp, the idea could be piloted at your restaurants, first in Saint Lucia, then the Caribbean and beyond. Saint Lucia could be the pilot for debugging.

Suggested dates for trials:

WORLD STORYTELLING DAY - 20 March

https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/world-storytelling-day/

FREE COMIC BOOK DAY - first Saturday of May

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Comic_Book_Day

May is also Reading Month in Saint Lucia.

Assuming it all works out then we can discuss the rollout.

With fifty Mangoville stories available and more planned, I can keep OctoCorp supplied for the foreseeable future. Of course, then we would have to discuss the logistics of the Royalties. But first the trials.

I have always wanted to partner with a company to get the stories to the kids.

Hope we can work something out.

I attach the files mentioned for your ease of reference.

Say hi to your dear wife, Sally for me.

September
