Hope in hard places
LK worked with Sharon to develop a website that works both as a marketing tool and a point of communication with her devoted audience. The site features profiles of her books as well as other bits of inspiration, including video, audio, photos, poetry, a fan club, and more.
“Bang! Guns really sound like that, you know.”
Sharon Flake’s work is simultaneously confronting and inspiring. She tells the stories that need to be told, that kids desperately want to hear, and we should all listen.
Working with Sharon was different than working on most of our other projects; it felt very personal. Even if you are a talented author who has stirred kids and adults alike, it can still be difficult to “market” yourself. It’s painful to choose a photo for the home page. And writing a bio takes much more effort than it sounds, even with a writer’s talent.
We felt a tremendous responsibility to deliver a site that Sharon felt comfortable with, would work for her dual communication strategy, and be simple enough for her to update on her own. Agami Creative was a core member of the project team, handling the web development and integrating the easy-to-use content management system.
