We're the Martin Rattler social media team at Merchiston Publishing, and we're researching children's attitudes towards activity books!

It probably won't come as a surprise, but we love libraries. They're important to so many people, for so many reasons! #librarySOS https://t.co/yoLqC8MnVg

[Floris Books @FlorisBooks]

We're sending out a #librarySOS for #Falkirk and saying "No to cuts and closures!" Show your support and comment with your library memories.

#RoaldDahl was another favourite author at our participating schools - we hope some of the students we spoke to are inspired to write too! https://t.co/fmopCna98G

[Roald Dahl @roald_dahl]

'Dear Roald Dahl'... a beautiful and inspiring letter to Roald Dahl, written by 12-year-old Zyk: https://t.co/7xktis0QxP

As we approach the end of our #marketresearch class project and write up reports, we're really learning a lot from the feedback we received

[Martin Rattler @Martin_Rattler]

Another favourite author popping up in our market research is @wimpykid - proof positive in this lovely drawing by a P7 participant!

"I think publishing can engage with young people through people they follow online and with interactive books" - @jamaledwards #futurebook16

[Martin Rattler @Martin_Rattler]

Market research may be time consuming, but as we've found when visiting schools, the results make it worthwhile! #futurebook16 #edtech https://t.co/EVDkHnN6wS

[Edinburgh University Press @EdinburghUP]

Publishers don't dictate the problems teachers face. We need to talk to the teachers to find out the problems #futurebook16 #edtech

[Martin Rattler @Martin_Rattler]

Our research had a few unforeseen results, but @BloomsburyBooks' @jk_rowling topping our "favourite author" frequency chart was no surprise!

Several members of our team are fascinated by rights - it's always interesting to see which stories can cross borders #publishingpostgrads https://t.co/JJ2ZteQbLI

[The Bookseller @thebookseller]

.@KidsBloomsbury has sold foreign rights to the debut children’s book by Radio 1 DJs @gregjames and @itschrissmith: https://t.co/Q2xenBw2R7

@EdNapierPublish Thank you! We're thrilled that it went so well. Now to analyse the results!

[Avril Gray @EdNapierPublish]

Congrats to our dedicated @Martin_Rattler team! Last school visited this morning! Lots of pupils very enthused about #MakingBooks #JobDone

[Victorian Bookworm @Worm_McBook]

The @Martin_Rattler team is working hard to evaluate the market research feedback forms! Some of them are true gems! #PublishingPostgrads

[Martin Rattler @Martin_Rattler]

The team hard at work sorting feedback sheets...students' comments are honest & instructive! #marketresearch #PublishingPostgrads

[Martin Rattler @Martin_Rattler]

Spent this morning with the fabulous P6 & P7 classes at Abbeyhill Primary! Great insight & feedback on our activity book. Thanks to all!

[Martin Rattler @Martin_Rattler]

Why not check out @EdinburghComic at @Summerhallery this weekend? Super-impressed by all the talented artists showcasing their work!

[Martin Rattler @Martin_Rattler]

We would much rather have #BookFriday than #BlackFriday!
Why go out shopping when you can stay in and read instead?

[Martin Rattler @Martin_Rattler]

We're at the #SaltireLiterary Awards - not as contenders, but perhaps if there's an activity book category next year? #publishingpostgrads

[Kirstin Lamb @kirstinlamb]

Can't wait for @Saltire_Society Lit Awards tonight for a wonderfully booky evening with booky people. Good luck to all on the shortlists!
