Announcing Blog Tours, PR & More – a listing site
Exciting News today!
I’ve threatened and threatened…and now I’ve done it! I’ve create a site to list companies that help authors with Blog Tours and other PR matters.
Go ahead…..click on the graphic and go and check it out!
Are you back? Good!
Let’s discuss the why and the what of this site.
The ‘Why’ is easy – I get a lot of questions from authors as to where to find a blog tour company, where to find a PR representative….basically where to find someone or some company who will help with book promotion.
A couple of years ago, I responded to the “Where do I find a book blogger who will feature my book?” question by creating the Book Blogger List.
Many of you have found this site. It has listed just over 1700 book bloggers that are sorted according to the genre of books they are interested in. I get about 40 new submissions from book bloggers each week and the site gets somewhere between 400 and 600 hits each day with higher numbers seen on the weekends frequently. And frankly, every time it is mentioned – like it was recently by Publisher’s Weekly – the hits are off the charts.
Clearly there is a need for this sort of information type site.
So…now to the ‘What’ of the Blog Tours, PR and More site. This site lists for free companies, or individuals who help authors with the promotional side of our world. I make no judgements and do not vet any of the submissions. I leave it to authors to decide which company they wish to do business with. I just gather the information in one location so that it is easy to search.
Since most companies and people who help authors with promotions tend to specialize in certain genres, I’ve sorted all the entries by genre.
If you are looking for some help, bookmark this site and drop back by as it grows and adds new listings (it has only been in operation a week)
If you help authors with their promotions by arranging tours, or any other type of PR activity, feel free to click on the link and list your site for free. If you are feeling generous, there is a donation button on the front page to help cover my costs of hosting, domains etc.
Don’t hesitate to ask questions…or simply drop by and have a look around!
