Announcing A New Casting Call
Have you ever wanted to play a character in a real-life setting? Think Disney, only instead of princesses in an amusement park, we’re looking for players to act as Denarii, characters from an upcoming fairy tale shifter novel for young adults. Denarii are idealized folks from the 1950’s, and the ‘stage’ where you’ll play them are various top bookstores across the US.
Bottom line? We’re looking for actors and actresses to assist in our upcoming book tour. Please review the responsibilities and compensation listed below. If you are interested, please email Publishing Assistant Arely Zimmermann via [email protected] by August 15, 2017.
