Virtual Book Touring How-To

Several times I've written about virtual books, signings and tours, even hosted a touring guest recently. However, I've neglected to direct your attention to a great resource on how to arrange a virtual book tour. Book Authors Tour the World with Virtual Book Tours by Cheryl Kaye Tardif, author of Whale Song, in John Kremer's blog about marketing bestsellers explained the process. Tardif provided multiple links to services, sites and other resources to assist the neophyte virtual traveler. She offered detailed, step-by-step instructions -- way too much to even try to recap here.

The author prepared this article after completing a successful one-month virtual book tour. She wrote from first-hand experience. In a reply to an anonymous skeptical comment, Tardif said, "I found that it was a wonderful way to connect with readers, and I tried to make my VBT exciting and fun for everyone."
