This is a group dedicated to bloggers who are also writers, or to reviewers who wish to join us on our virtual book tours

Every month, we will try to tour a book written by one of our members.

We make sure that put links in our post that link to other blogs. In that way, if readers come across something that interests them, they can go to the next blog for more info.

There are many ways to tour a book.

Reviews aren't necessary. That would entail everyone reading the book
being toured. The author being toured can send out a pdf, e-arc, or
excerpt of the book if he/she wants. Or, if she's got a blog or
website, she can post an excerpt and everyone can link to it. If
someone has read the book or has a review copy, they really ought to
post a review to their blog though.

If you're involved in a tour and way too busy, the least you can do
is to put up the blurb of the book being toured, along with some
photos.

Or put up a blurb and the book trailer.

Or you can put up a blurb and say something like: "this book is
getting a lot of reviews." Then you put links to the reviews in the
post.

Interviews are good.

Author bios.

A post from the book's author.

Always add the author's website, contact info, publisher's info.

There is usually a main blog where we can put all the information
about the tour. Sometimes not.

We want everything to be easygoing. We're all busy. This is not
supposed to be a burden. Those who can't post a review will also be
contributing if they do a small mention to their blog.

Members of this group are not forced to tour all books. For instance,
1: folks may object to the contents of a particular book or to the
author of a particular book.
2: a blogger may be sick or extremely busy
3: a blogger might have other folks she is blogging that week.

When the tour date is set, everyone tries to publicize it. At
least a day before the tour, tour participants should share permalinks of their posts.
