“Tumblr is a haven for teens and young adults so we think this is a great platform to reach out to them about our YA e-books. E-Volt will be a way for YA readers to discover titles and authors and get great deals, regardless of which e-reader they might have,” said Raquel Stecher, Online Marketing Manager at Candlewick Press.

John Mendelson, Senior Vice President of Sales at Candlewick adds, “With more tablets in the marketplace, we are conscious of the need to give consumers every excuse to use them as a reading device. 

E-Volt is an exciting extension of our efforts to reach readers directly regardless of their chosen reading platform.  What started as a conversation about an e-book deal site blossomed into what will hopefully become a community for learning about and sharing great reads for teens.”
