The Shindig Platform
To anyone who doesn’t know, Shindig is an online platform that allows authors to reach their readers in a unique, virtual capacity. It’s like going to a book event without leaving your couch! The author is on a webcam and is therefore able to directly interact with anyone else participating in the event.
