In the latest post on PR Newswire's Small Business PR Toolkit, contributing author Scott Lorenz provides three ideas that authors should explore when deciding to create a companion app for their book.
- Purpose. The app must serve a purpose other than just wowing your audience with visual effects. Lorenz sites the book app Arcadia as an example that was conceived to help the business of reading and as the story evolves over time, so does the design of the app.
- ebook vs. app. Authors shouldn't assume ebooks and apps are one in the same. Lorenz states that the main reason to create a book app should be to improve your reader's experience and book apps can help tremendously with driving engagement and interaction from this group.
