Poets, writers, publicists who have launched a book during a pandemic - how did you do it? What's working best?

Readers & book lovers - what kind of launch experiences have you loved? Who is doing this well? But also, what do you wish you saw more of? 1/
I love what digital events and live streamed readings are doing for accessibility. Don't get me wrong, the usual panel format is lovely! But we've seen imaginative and boundary breaking lockdown productions across fashion, music, etc. Why hasn't this crossed over to books? 2/
I want to create a playbook for us all on launching books in a pandemic. (Selfishly of course I have one coming out with @NineArchesPress in June.) But I've also been chatting about this with @stubartholomew for @VervePoetryPres poets -- and all poets. 3/
So, I'd love to hear from you. What have you seen that you loved? How can we learn from each other?

I'll start - loved the 5 days / 5 drops for prolific renaissance man @InuaEllams' THE ACTUAL. Hats off Inua and @PennedintheM.
