Introducing ITSme!
Here at CWLA, we have been working with ITSme for just over a year. The ITSme team helps us acquire new talented staff members and authors, assists with managing our marketing and websites, connects us with universities and helps manage internship applications, as well as other business operations. The ITSme team has been instrumental in our recent growth!
Our manager, Caroline Wakeman, has been working closely with Vicky Patoulioti and the other ITSme Society agencies to connect our children’s book authors with amazing illustrators. Aside from connecting with the other agencies, Vicky helps us find and submit our authors’ work to competitions. We have had great success in this area, with multiple recent nominations including a Teach Primary Award and a Scottish BookTrust Bookbug Prize.
As members of the ITSme Society, we follow the “Positive E.F.E.C.T.S” charter. The “Positive E.F.E.C.T.S” charter’s primary aim is to advance the Environmental, Financial, Ethical, Collaborative, Training, and Social standards of signed agencies. Influencing positive change with the Agencies Staff, outlook, and beyond to those that the Agencies deal with day to day in their commercial dealings; through outreach in education and marketing. Learn more about the “Positive E.F.E.C.T.S.” here.
Working with ITSme has allowed us to focus on sales and growth, leading to wonderful deals for our authors, including a few instant Amazon Best Sellers! Through our connections with the ITSme Society, we have also been able to partner with and support other agencies, expanding our opportunities. We have had the pleasure of helping illustrators develop and publish their own stories as well as working with our authors.
