Are you looking for a way to market and promote your book(s)? I know I've come across many frustrated authors that aren't sure where to turn to get their book into the public eye. This is why I created The Virtual Book Tour Cafe'. Definitely created with Authors in mind to give their books the attention it deserves. We started on a trial run back in April, where I put 30 authors on tour to over 20 pit stops. We had such a great turn out that I decided to continue on to keep helping authors learn how to promote their work. Virtual Book Tours are a great way get your book into the public eye, especially those that would not normally see your book or know who you are.
Here's what some of the authors that were on tour had to say:
-The Virtual Book Tour has opened up a great learning experience for me, not to mention how much fun I have been having! I love writing up blogs for the tour and being interviewed by the hosts! I loved being interviewed on Blogtalk radio with Brandi Walker. That was fun!I have received three great reviews for my book, The Forest Portal since I joined Authors Supporting Authors and The Virtual Book Tour! ~Melody Dempsey www.authormelodydempsey.com
-As the Royal Liaison to Princess Ozma, I have been blessed to have been a part of the Virtual Book Tour as I endeavor to fulfill her Royal Command and tell the story of her new Royal Magician of Oz. Princess Ozma also feels that the Virtual Book Tour is a most unique experience, although she does not quite understand the Internet, or even computers.~James C. Wallace II Royal Liaison to Princess Ozma http://magicianofoz.blogspot.com
-As a participating author on Brandi Drury's Virtual Book Tour the value of coverage and feedback has been indispensable. Nowhere else can an author promoting their works receive this intensity of promotional focus. Authors Supporting Authors is a developed network that permeates the blogosphere. This book tour doesn't simply get the word out about your latest writing, it gets it to the exact recipients who want it and provides you with a super-niche for promoting your book.~Lee Libro http://literary-magic.com
