Liza Weimer and the team at Spencer Hill have released the cover for Hello? but they're also doing things a little differently.
It's the Hello campaign...
Publication Date: October 27, 2015
HELLO WORLD!
Let’s bring this world a little closer together! Please join us in saying HELLO! and spread good cheer across the globe.
See Liza’s short video for details:
From April 14th to June 1st, 2015 we would like people to post a picture (it can be an individual, group, something meaningful) with a sign that says Hello From ___________(the city name.)
Use #HelloFrom and the name of your city with a separate #. Post on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and/or Tumblr.
For each person you tag, it will be an extra entry. We want to encourage others to say hello and post their own pictures, tagging others to participate too!
So #HelloFrom London :) Zili x (I didn't have any paper handy).
20 lucky people will randomly be selected from all over the world to win prize packages that include items inspired by Hello?. Many were purchased from artists/stores from Door Country, WI, the setting for the novel.
