First I have several blogs set up for blurbs or author interviews. What you need to do now is start creating your blurbs for submission. I am hoping to have up to 20 blogs set up by the time we launch. Not all will be just for blurbs, some will be author interviews, spotlight features and book features and reviews.
You will be guest blogging on the tour so you will need to create a blurb in the form of an author bio, book information such as a synopsis, what brought you to write and what brought you to write your particular novel. Include experiences you went through during your writing process, was your book based on a personal experience, how you came up with your title, what made you choose your publishing company, were there any rejections before you were published, how you came to be published, was it from the opinion of friends, and ideas along those lines.
You will need to make each blog different. This is where it will get a little tricky. You don't want the same information on each blog.
Post any ideas you come up with for your tour on here so other authors can learn and create from it as well. If we all work together, the tours should go very smoothly.
Once you are finished, send them to me via email to bkwalkerbooks@comcast.net with "Tour Blogs" in the subject line.
I am still in need of bloggers to participate in being a host, so if you know of anyone that has a blog page, and would be willing, send me their information so I can contact them.
You can also search the internet for guest bloggers, guest authors, etc. to see what others are posting to get some ideas on what to write. Whatever you come up with for ideas, please share here so other authors can use them as well.
If any of you DO NOT want to participate in online radio shows or podcasts, please let me know that too. I will be creating a mock tour schedule for you once I receive all your blog entries. Once you get the schedule, look it over. If you have a problem with any of the dates, let me know ASAP.
Once the schedules are approved by you, I will send to each blog, radio show, etc. Then the tour will be launched!
What we are going to do is a signed book give away with each tour. This will encourage people to visit the blogs on the dates set on your schedule, and if they leave a comment on that day, they will be entered into the drawing to receive one of your books. At the end of the tour, a name can be drawn and the announcement made as to who won the signed copy of your book. This means you too will have to revisit your guest blogging post to follow up with any comments made by the viewers.
As we get further into the tours, we may have other prizes as well. The key is to have people visit each blog or website and leave a comment.
I have also created my own online radio talk show. So I too will be hosting author interviews for those of you that would like to do radio.
I am very excited and looking forward to launching the Virtual Book Tours! You may also check over Kaylin McFarren's VBT which is in the events tab to see what your tour will look like.
One more thing, for those of you that I haven't done a book review, I don't have any pictures of your book covers, so you will need to send me a JPG of that to be included with your blog submissions. Also include your purchase links and personal websites.
If anyone has any suggestions or questions, please contact me.
