Virtual Book Tour

Authors are also turning to Virtual Book Tours, which are online book events around the time of the book launch, as an alternative to the author bearing the expense of a live book tour around the country.

Creation of a virtual book tour includes an online promotional schedule for a month, soon after the book is launched, seeking to connect with bloggers who will read and tout the book.

The author will also attempt to get interviews through radio and podcasts, participate in on-line prearranged chats and hold teleclasses or web casts.

The aim of these events is to both sell books as well as get a whole new group of interested people to sign up on the author’s web site for further communications.
