Have you ever heard of a blog tour? Well, neither had I until a couple weeks ago. I was approached by a wonderful group of ladies who run a website called, wow-womenonwriting.
A blog tour is similar to an author’s book tour, but it’s hosted online, instead of at, say, a bookstore. The touring author visits a number of blogs (otherwise known as “blog stops”) over a set period–typically, a month.
Authors use this format to buzz their book, connect with readers, and have fun! It’s a wonderful way to network with a readership the author might never get to meet in “real” life. For instance, this tour takes us across the U.S. and to Canada, all in one month! Even the most gregarious traveler couldn’t conquer that much territory in such a short time. But it’s not about the territory covered, it’s about the interesting people you meet along the way.
I have the pleasure of hosting three of these wonderful authors throughout the months of January and February. Each author shares some topics that I think would be of interest to you. Here are the dates and upcoming authors and be sure to check back to see what wonderful things they have to say. As well if you get a chance and are an aspiring author be sure to go to the WOW website and poke around. There is lots of great informaton and you can see which authors you’re most interested in.
