Can any of them inspire ideas for a blog post, publicity angle, or an image to share on social media?

I like this month’s list because so many of the holidays are universal – you don’t need to have a connection to your book to have fun with them. You can probably find more than one unusual September holiday for book promotion on the list to work into your upcoming book promotion schedule.

Matching books with quirky occasions

Here are a couple of ideas from the September calendar to help jumpstart your thought process.

On September 5, “Be Late for Something Day,” create a social media image honoring the occasion. When sharing it, ask people to respond with what they plan to be late for that day.

“Wife Appreciation Day” on September 15 is a springboard for blog posts from people who write about relationships or romance. It’s the perfect opportunity for any author with a wife to blog about why they appreciate her.

September 28 is “National Good Neighbor Day.” Ask people to share their definition of a “good neighbor.” The different perspectives could generate interesting insights and discussions.
