Book Tours & Blitz

What is a Book Tour?

A Book Tour is essentially another way to market and gets your work out to the masses.

​

In today's age - everything is all online. ​

Need to order a book? Amazon it!  ​

Need to figure out what a title of a book is called that you read a year ago?  Ask a Facebook group!​

Need an answer to a question?  Google it!​

Well, you get it.  The point is, things have changed - and so is the way we market.

​

Insert a book tour.  I do it a bit differently in where your book is reviewed on blogs and on Instagram to reach more eyes than you normally would with only blogs.  Each host is also asked to review your books on other platforms as well.

​

• Increase your Visibility

• Reach New Audiences

• Increase your Traffic

• Get More Followers

• Build your Mailing List

​

How do you choose the hosts?

I do not choose the hosts, but I do send an email out to a list of readers that I have.  The hosts only choose what books they want to host for, so it's not the same people every time doing all of the books.  Once the slots are filled for the 5 days, I will open more up so more can review. 

​

What is a host?

A host is a book blogger, a bookstagrammer (Instagram), or a booktoker (Tiktok) - that will read an e-ARC copy of your book and then post a banner or graphics, the blurb, a review, and tag you as well.  They are also encouraged to place their reviews in other places as well.  

​

What is the Author's page?

The Author page that I will make for you, that will have the graphics I make, the author interview, about the author section, and then all of the links to who is going to post for you, and then I switch them over to the actual review links after. These reviews are good to use on your own website, for your Amazon book page, pretty much anywhere. Same for your author page. You can post that everywhere! Readers LOVE to get to know the author behind the books they love.

​

Why do you need me to schedule so far in advance?

I like to have 4-5 weeks of notice in advance so that I can notify the readers, then 2 weeks prior to the beginning of the tour, I will send out the ARC to the readers who signed up to be part of the tour.

​​

When would you schedule the tour for my book?

As for the tour itself. I like to schedule them the week or week after they release. If they release on a Monday or Tuesday I will do the same week, and if they release Wednesday-Friday I like to do them the next week. That way when people see the posts they can instantly go download it, and not just throw it on their TBR and forget about it.

​

What is the timeline for a tour?  How does it work?

• The Author will request a tour (hopefully 4-5 weeks before release day).

After the contract and at least the down payment is paid, I will send out a form to be filled out by the author to collect all of the information I need.  (This is done in google docs so the Author can come and go).

• I will send an email out to the hosts a day or two after.  (I like to have the Author's page done by this time too).

• Two weeks prior to the tour, I will send out the final email to the hosts with graphics, the book link, and more.  This is also the time I would like to have the remaining funds paid for if you are using a payment plan.

• Tour Starts!

• The week after I will have the Author's tour page completely updated with the link going directly to the social media blasts & reviews.
