The Greatest Benefit of Virtual Book Tours

I’ve been promoting authors’ books with virtual book tours (VBTs) since 2007. I could share numerous benefits of VBTs: promoting a book from the comfort of your own home, the vast audience they reach, and their longevity (I can type the author’s name and book title from one of my first clients into Google and still see results from her virtual book tour.). I might even discuss two detailed articles I wrote on why VBTs work and how to judge your VBT’s success from my own experience promoting Little Shepherd when it first came out. But I’m not going to talk about any of that. Why? Because that’s not

How State Parks Can Show You How NOT to Sell Your Book

Okay crazy title and I hate it when I see articles titled that way but I’m in a crazy kind of mood so bear with me. I love national and state parks with a passion—mainly national ones, but if you’re traveling and staying in an area that only has state parks, it’s the next best thing.  National parks have more to offer, of course.  They’re usually bigger, advertised heavily and have more to do.  State parks, on the other hand, do have lots to offer just on a smaller scale. I recently returned from a trip to the Poconos.  As I wasn’t familiar with the area, I did Google
