<title>First Book Celebrations on YouTube</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><iframe width="570" height="416" frameborder="0" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/054DOOpCxtA"></iframe></p>
<p>Earlier this week, debut YA novelist <strong>Jess Rothenberg</strong> videotaped herself dancing with the first copy of her book and a cat. We&#8217;ve embedded the video above, set to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILWSp0m9G2U" target="_blank">a classic tune from <em>Flashdance</em></a>.</p>
<p>First book celebrations are a small but inspiring genre on YouTube. <strong>Travis Nichols</strong> <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/galleycat/how-did-you-celebrate-your-book-release_b30176" target="_blank">celebrated his book release</a> by dancing with a potted plant, playing &#8220;Guitar Hero,&#8221; and imitating <strong>Tom Cruise</strong>&#8216;s famous <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risky_Business#Reception"><em>Risky Business </em>scene</a>. <strong>Kaleb Nation</strong> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgB_lQ3I9ls&amp;feature=results_video&amp;playnext=1&amp;list=PL52BAE01BC9591F4C" target="_blank">posted a happy video</a> a few years back, stacking and restacking his new book copies.</p>
<p>Any more videos to add? Here&#8217;s more about Rothenberg&#8217;s <a href="http://www.jessrothenberg.com" target="_blank"><em>The Catastrophic History of You and Me</em></a>: &#8220;BRIE&#8217;S LIFE ENDS AT SIXTEEN: Her boyfriend tells her he doesn&#8217;t love her, and the news breaks her heart—literally. But now that she&#8217;s D&amp;G (dead and gone), Brie is about to discover that love is way more complicated than she ever imagined.&#8221;</p>

<title>Sourcebooks Bucks $9.99 E-Book Price Point</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="bran2.jpg" src="/galleycat/files/original/bran2.jpg" width="151" height="220" class="alignright" />The publisher Sourcebooks has postponed the e-book version of &#8220;Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse&#8221; by <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Kaleb-Nation-profile.html">Kaleb Nation</a></strong> until spring, citing problems with Amazon.com&#8217;s valuing of most digital Kindle titles at $9.99. The hardcover <a href="http://www.sourcebooks.com/products/childrens/9781402218576-bran-hambric.html">will be released</a> in September.</p>
<p>In a <em><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124744388627630253.html">Wall Street Journal</a></em> article, Sourcebooks CEO <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Dominique-Raccah-profile.html">Dominique Raccah</a></strong> explained the move: &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t make sense for a new book to be valued at $9.99 &#8230; hardcover books have an audience, and we shouldn&#8217;t cannibalize it.&#8221;</p>
<p>The company prints about 250 and 300 titles a year, and will publish 75,000 copies of the YA novel. Last week they announced a partnership with the digital publisher Smashwords to publish a number of <a href="http://www.sourcebooks.com/">Sourcebooks</a> romance titles on the site. The <a href="https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/sourcebooks">digital books</a> will be sold at $6.99, published in nine eBook reading formats.</p>
