So you got a book event, great! Now you want to maximize it, right? You’ve heard your writing buddies talk (or perhaps read online) about the lack of attendance at signings, so figuring out how to maximize the event, regardless of the numbers might be tricky.

Do you ever get an author crush? You know, where you become a fan of an author’s work, and you just love everything about them. It isn’t a creepy/stalker thing, and it certainly isn’t sexual. You’re in love with their work, and that makes you want to know more about them.

Author Cherie Burbach teaches you how to set up a virtual book tour to promote your work. Tips on approaching bloggers, promotion techniques, defining the success of your tour, and keeping the promotion of your tour going are all covered.

I’m starting a virtual tour this week for my book, 21 Simple Things You Can Do To Help Someone With Diabetes.
