Bittersweet Book Tours

What is a Virtual book Tour?

They're also called blog tours but Bittersweet Book Tours offers promotional opportunities and book marketing services on more than just blogs. We offer contacts and scheduling on podcasts, social media outlets, YouTube channels, interviews, guest posts, highlights, you name it! Anywhere people are talking about books, we make sure they're talking about your book.

Schedule a meeting with me

When I was launching my books, I would have loved some book marketing support through that crazy and exciting time.  


Bittersweet Book Tours can tailor your virtual book tour to your needs, your audience, and your schedule.  Don't feel comfortable on video? We'll skip YouTube. Don't know what to write an article about? We'll schedule you some Q&A interviews. 


My contacts and I are here to help with whatever virtual promotion you and your book need for a successful book launch. Bookish influencers need content and you need people talking about your book! It's win-win!

Book a free Meeting!

Save time and generate a buzz by having Bittersweet Book Tours arrange a ton of virtual promotions for a successful book launch.

What To Expect

First, email me so we can have a chat over Zoom about how and when you'd like to proceed with your book marketing services. You can tell me your preferences and what size promo you'd like. Don't know? That's okay too! We can walk you through what it takes to have a successful book launch.


Then, we will toil behind the scenes to line up appearances for you and your book while you take care of the million other things you need to do before a book launch. While Bittersweet Book Tours schedules, we may send you homework like interviews to fill out and guest posts for you to write and return to certain contacts. 


When we're done we'll meet again and we will walk you through all the book marketing we have lined up, including a spreadsheet of the schedule, each promotional opportunity, and contacts. 


After that,  I will stay close in case you have any questions. You won't need me as a middle man getting in the way, so you will communicate directly with the hosts and content creators as you get the word out there about your book launch. Then you can enjoy your successful book launch! You can always email me and I can hold your hand through the scary parts if you need me.

Start early

We've scheduled book tours as little as a week away, but the earlier we start the better.  Some blogs and Facebook groups are scheduling six months out! Even if you don't have your release date, maybe just the month, email Bittersweet Book Tours and we can get started. At least three months ahead is preferable for everyone involved and for the most successful book launch.

Book Marketing Services for a Successful Book Launch

Please reach us at bittersweetbooktours@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

They're also called blog tours but we offer promotional opportunities on more than just blogs. We offer contacts and scheduling on  podcasts, social media outlets, YouTube channels, interviews, guest posts, highlights, you name it! 


Absolutely! If you have the time and no money to invest in your book, definitely DIY. I'm really offering to save you time, to take away a huge chunk of your stress, and to give you special access to my contacts that I have gathered and cultivated relationships with. I'm quite the DIYer myself, but in this case it helps to specialize because I have done this a lot, know people, and have a system down.


No way! Traditionally, authors arrange book tours before, during, and immediately after their book launches, but they don't have to. I believe in marketing to drive sales anytime! A concentrated time with lots of author appearances can help your career at anytime, but especially around a holiday that correlates with your book, the book launch, the re-release, to celebrate a new cover, or anytime you see your sales dip.


We have the full-sized tour for $150, but unlike other book tour companies, we also offer smaller packages for $75 and $35 in case you don't have the capital or if you want to try us out with less commitment.
