Praise for iRead Book Tours

"Working with Lauren on my book tour was an absolute pleasure. Not only was she highly professional, but her kindness and understanding made all the difference for a first-time author and illustrator like me. Lauren went above and beyond, orchestrating a seamless campaign that included blog reviews, Instagram posts, interviews, and Amazon reviews. Her efforts not only boosted my Instagram following but also delivered the crucial sales I had been hoping for. She made what could have been an overwhelming process incredibly easy and enjoyable. I can’t thank Lauren enough for her expertise and support." - Lorena M. Proia, Author and illustrator of How to Make a Sandwich

"I thought iRead Book Tours did a phenomenal job with my historical novel, Sunny Gale. The organization of the tour and the attention to detail was quite impressive. I was very surprised, and gratified by, the professionalism of many of the reviewers. Plus after every favorable review, iRead Book Tours promoted a blurb or two from the review across its social media sites. That was impressive. Before iRead Book Tours, I had done virtual book tours with two separate companies. iRead Book Tours was the best of the three. I would definitely choose to use it again." - Jamie Lisa Forbes, author of Sunny Gale, A Novel.

"I've worked with iRead Book Tours many, many times, for different genres of my books, and they do such an outstanding job.  I'm always so pleased with the reach and exposure Lauren and her team at iRead Book Tours provide  - and endorse them with the highest regard." - Dr. Deborah Serani, author of Sometimes When I'm Jealous

"I love iRead Book Tours! From my first contact with Lauren, she was both professional and fun to work with. Then came the tour: such interesting posts and pics! It was so gratifying to see my book out there making an impact. As an author without a big social media presence, this book tour let me leverage the extensive presence of reviewers who have large audiences of readers. And it gave me the opportunity to engage with some of those readers too. I'll be back for my next novel!" - Ellen Barker, author of Still Needs Work

"First, having just finished a fantastic tour, I very highly recommend iRead Book Tours! Lauren was a dream to work with! Organized, professional, and extremely helpful! All my many, many questions were very timely and thoughtfully answered. Lauren found great sites for my book, even more than were promised! I loved the reviews! And she was as enthused about the success of my tour as I was! Actually, I was sorry to see the tour end! It was fun seeing my book in all those new and different places! And with people I’m certain spend their lives reading! Would I tour with iRead Book Tours again? Absolutely!" - Barbara Lampert, author of Happy Harry: A Magical Golden
​
"I loved working with iRead Book Tours. I was very satisfied with the results from the Bookstagram/Booktok tour and would recommend it to anyone. I plan on booking another tour for the second book in the series once it's released! Thank you!" - Bethany Rosa, author of In Pursuit of Innocence 

"Lauren and iRead Book Tours is an absolute joy to work with. Lauren was so organized and had a master plan from the very beginning, and she truly cares about each author’s work and wants to bring the best out in everyone she works with. Being a busy professional, I always felt so secure knowing that Lauren was working hard behind the scenes to make my book tour a success. Each step of the book tour is carefully and thoughtfully curated, and all the little details really matter. It shows just how much Lauren takes pride in her work and how much she delights in showcasing the authors’ work as well. I highly recommend Lauren if you’d like to consider an innovative and fun way to get your book out to interested readers that isn’t the traditional marketing pitch!" - Dr. Judy Ho, clinical and forensic neuropsychologist, author of The New Rules of Attachment: How to Heal Your Relationships, Reparent Your Inner Child, and Secure Your Life Vision

"My BookStagram/BookTok tour with iRead Book Tours was a success! The tour gave me access to hosts with an aggregate of over 100,000 followers. Some influencers also reviewed my book on Amazon and Goodreads. These reviews boosted my book’s star ratings. I gained followers on Instagram. Influencer’s lovely photos of my book and inspiring reviews are now linked from my website. Google searches of my book title show many Instagram posts leaving a permanent trail of the book promotion and much exposure. My book sales increased during this book tour promotion. Lauren is professional and responsive. I highly recommend iRead Book Tour services to other indie authors. Thank you, Lauren and iRead Book Tours!" - Donna Balon, author of Sam Time: History professor slips into the past and befriends Ulysses S Grant 

"Lauren Carr at iRead Book Tours scheduled 14 blog stops for my newest psychological suspense novel. The tour was well organized, with all the bloggers participating on time and in a professional manner. Lauren created excellent graphics and provided each blogger with links, blurbs, covers, portraits, and—in several cases—guest posts or interviews about the book and about my writing. Because of her successful outreach, she is handling my next title. Highly recommended!" - Laury A. Egan, author of The Psychologist's Shadow
​
​“Lauren is a consummate professional and is a skilled manager who finds the right talent for her championship team. The blogger team she put together perfectly matched my two-book historical fiction series. This was my second virtual book tour, and it taught me what it is like to work with a real champion on a dream team. Lauren gets my vote for the most valuable player. She is the undisputed leader in her league. Clearly, she is an MVP! I’ll have the iRead Book Tours team run my next virtual book tour.”—Bob Rogers, author of Two Rivers: De Trouble I Be See

"As the author of twenty-three books, I'm quite familiar with the importance of getting the word out when I release a new title. Because of this, I selected iRead Book Tours to help me when it was time to release, Finding Fionn-A Mystery Inspired by the Kidnapping of the Irish Racehorse Shergar. Their efforts and the wonderful reviews that the bloggers posted helped bring "Finding Fionn" to the #1 New Release Spot and have kept it there for a month! In addition, Lauren was extremely helpful and kept me apprised of all developments and what I should be doing when. I will definitely use this service again." - M.J. Evans, author of Finding Fionn - A Mystery Inspired by the Kidnapping of the Irish Racehorse Shergar 

"This is the second time I've worked with iRead Book Tours, and they exceeded my expectations once again. Lauren assembled a variety of wonderful bloggers, reviewers and book stops along the way. Reviews were left at Goodreads, Amazon, and Bookbub - and spotlights at websites helped me gain traction for both sales and access to new readers. Lauren was attentive, thorough, professional and kept in close contact before, during and after the book tour. I highly recommend iRead Book Tours and will be back a third time as my next book launches."  - Dr. Deborah Serani, author of Living with Depression

"Book promotion and marketing have always been, to me, an unnerving prospect, and yet they can be fun—when you take your book on a virtual book tour with the best: iReads Book Tour. iReads lends a more personal touch to book promotion, and I love its flexibility. Lauren Carr, the gracious Queen Mother of iReads, is open to tailoring your tour. Focus on blogs that do reviews? Check. Piggyback the two previous standalone books in the series that includes the new book I’m touring? Request also granted. Did I mention I’m a repeat customer?" - Evy Journey, author of The Golden Manuscripts: A Novel (Between Two Worlds, Book 6)  
​
'iRead Book Tours provides the best bang for your buck when promoting your book.  I just completed my second tour and could not be more satisfied with the services provided.

They are very professional to work with, and I would not hesitate to work with them again." – Susan Schwartzman, Susan Schwartzman Publicity  

"It was a real pleasure to deal with Lauren. It wasn’t so much as arranging a book tour with her, it was more a sharing our passion for fiction and for writing. The stand-out moment for me was the Authors on iTours interview, as it made the whole process much more personal. Thanks once again Lauren for your diligence and enthusiasm. Until the next time." - Justin Newland, author of The Old Dragon's Head  

"What a great experience! Lauren Carr and her iRead Book Tours are exactly what I needed to give my novels recognition and exposure. Marketing and promotion is a tough business for Indie authors. Lauren made it easy to take the leap toward becoming a recognized author. Taking your novels on tour with Lauren was both rewarding and pleasant. Thank you, Lauren." - Marianne Scott, author of Underneath the Fireflies and Reinhardt

"Thanks to iRead Book Tours for all of the effort you guys put into the tour for my book Magical Elements of the Periodic Table Presented Alphabetically By The Metal Horn Unicorns.  I appreciate you.

I recommend it to all." - Sybrina Durant, author of Magical Elements of the Periodic Table Presented Alphabetically By The Metal Horn Unicorns. 

"I can't say enough positive things about my experience with iRead Book Tours and their exceptional service. As an author, I recently utilized them for my latest book, Only Prince Charming Gets to Break the Rules, and I couldn't be happier with the results.
iRead Book Tours ensured that my book received the attention it deserved. The exposure generated by the tour was invaluable, as it introduced my work to a wider audience, reaching readers who might not have discovered it otherwise. The reviews and spotlights were thoughtfully crafted and showcased my book, captivating potential readers.

"The Story Plant was very impressed with how well done our tour was. iRead Book Tours went above and beyond our expectations, and definitely brought a lot of traffic to the book. Everything was very professional, and Lauren took care of everything we needed, including following up with blogs that didn't post right away and keeping us informed. Of the many blog tours that we have used in the past, we have never gotten this many reviews from one. Each review was very clearly well-thought-out and did a great job examining the book. We can't wait to use this service again for future books!" - Elizabeth Long, Marketing Editorial Consultant, The Story Plant, publisher of The Connection Game: a Novel by S.S. Turner

"Wow! What a whirlwind of success. I can not thank Lauren of iRead Book Tours for helping my story  Mirrored Reflections get noticed by so many.

Because of Lauren and her 'people' readers, we writers appreciate iRead Book Tours. They are a blessing." - J.F. Ridgley, author of Mirrored Reflections

“As a first-time self-published author it was important for me to partner with someone who could help elevate my book and share my story with different audiences and this was exactly the reason I choose to work with Lauren and iRead Book Tours. Lauren was very professional in helping me understand the timings, the expectations and keeping me updated before, during and after the tour. My book reached many different reviewers and bloggers and Lauren furnished me with a full report and recap at the end of the tour. If you are looking for support to get your book out there you MUST partner with Lauren and iRead Book Tours. It is well worth the investment” - Andrew Fitzgerald, author of How Did I Get Here? - Traveling The Road To Resilience

"iRead Book Tours provided me with such a tremendous experience from beginning to end!

"My debut novel was released last month, so I decided to sign up for 3 different virtual book tours to help get it in front of readers I wouldn't reach on my own. While each of the tours had their own strengths, my favorite BY FAR was my iRead Book Tour. Not only does Lauren do a fantastic job of organizing the tour and communicating with you at every step of the way, but I found the tour hosts that signed up for her tour to be of a higher caliber. The reviews that I got on this tour were thoughtful and well-written and I noticed an uptick in sales during this tour. I also appreciated the fact that many of her tour hosts that wrote reviews posted them on multiple sites, not just on their blog or Instagram account. This is invaluable to an author. I highly recommend Lauren and iRead. I would sign up for another tour with her in a heartbeat!" - Allyson Rice, author of The Key to Circus-Mom Highway

"As a new author, I had no idea how to go about doing a virtual book tour. I didn’t even know what one was. I am thankful to Veronica Yager of Yellow Studios Online for organizing a book tour with Lauren Carr of iRead Book Tours. Lauren did a tremendous job of organizing the tour, communicating with me regarding it, and finding some top-notch bloggers who provided high quality reviews.

Thank you so much, Lauren for organizing it all and generating so much exposure and positive feedback for my book." - Marta Spirk, author of The Empowered Woman: The Ultimate Roadmap to Business Success

"A huge thank you to iRead Book Tours for my exciting journey over the last six weeks—and I didn’t have to leave my desk. Lauren is amazing, customizing the tour with great care and expertise.

I was delighted with the tour results and will definitely be using iRead Book Tours in the future." - Sally Metzger, author of Night of Mysterious Blessings.

"iRead Book Tours takes the stress out of assembling a virtual book tour. Maestro Lauren Carr knows how to draw a command performance out of both the bloggers and the authors she works with. Lauren’s approach is flexible enough that an author is able to maintain control over his/her brand. At the same time her system clearly makes it easy for bloggers to integrate iRead Book Tours content into their platforms with very little effort. Win/win! I felt my interests were in good hands every step of the way." - Dave Tabler, author of Delaware Before the Railroads: A Diamond Among the States

​“As a New Zealand novelist, it is never easy to know how to best promote a new book in the US. It is especially important to gather some reviews before launch day, so that when the participants in various launch events go to Goodreads or a retailer to check out the book they can read some honest reviews. The tour hosts of Lauren’s tours write in-depth, thoughtful reviews and post them everywhere, and this is gold for the author. My video interview with Lauren was a bonus and lots of fun and I can recommend to other authors that they schedule a Lauren interview! And as always, Lauren was well organized, responded to any e-mails promptly, and went the extra mile to make sure the tour was a success. Thank you to her and the team and a big thank you to all the book-loving tour hosts!” - Jenni Ogden, author of Call My Name: a novel

I would most recommend her." - Joseph Gulesserian, author of The Practical MBA on Economics  -What They Do and Don’t teach You at Business School

"As a first time author, the euphoria of seeing my children’s book finally getting published was soon followed by the stark realization that I hadn’t a clue of how to get exposure for my book beyond the limited circle of family and friends.  Coupled with my lack of knowledge of the workings of bloggers, influencers and social media in general made me disheartened to say the least.  Finding Lauren and iRead Book Tours changed all that. From the beginning, Lauren educated me, guided me, offered me a variety of options and then implemented an incredible virtual tour for my book which exceeded all of my expectations. All the time she never tried to oversell her services, acted as a true professional and was always willing to make the extra effort needed to work with a “rookie”.  The tour provided much positive feedback which I can now build on going forward.  And, did I say, Lauren was a joy to work with?"  -  Bruce Shutts , author of “The Moon in the Sky” Poems your kids would have written (if only they could write) 

"Lauren is amazing. She's an expert at managing large-scale, fast-paced tours with professionalism and class. iRead Book Tours is a leader due to her skill, industry relationships, and love of books.

Wiggins, author of Blind the Eyes: Threads of Dreams (book one)

“It was a true pleasure to work with iRead Book Tours and Lauren. It was very well organized from the first interaction throughout the whole book tour. I loved the variety of sites my book got exposure to, and the well written reviews. I felt this was a great way to promote my book, and to get readers and reviews outside of my own network.

"Sometimes book promotion is like throwing spaghetti against the wall and seeing how well it sticks. Not so with iRead Book Tours. Spaghetti is much more likely to stick when narrowing your book's audience to readers who are interested in your book's genre. And that's what the company does, which makes sense. The company also follows through on each step of the promotional tour package, while featuring your book in the best light. During and after the book tour of The Keepers, I had a noticeable spike in sales. It was exciting! Thank you, Lauren." - Joy Lynn Goddard, author of The Keepers 

"I have participated in two iRead Book Tours with two of my historical fiction books.

The exposure to new readers and audiences is fantastic - it was exactly what I was looking for in a book tour that actually delivers results." - Vicki Lau, author of Why I Do VFX: The Untold Truths About Working in Visual Effects

I booked a tour with Lauren that promised five reader reviews and many spotlights. The tour actually generated 11 reviews and 14 stops! So, I was very happy with the result, and credit Lauren, personally, for it. She is highly organized and responsive to any questions I had.

Lauren is supportive, professional, and exceptionally well-organized, making a complicated and potentially stressful experience easy to navigate and enjoyable to participate in. She's connected to a large community of bloggers and will be clear and honest about what you can expect from them. In my case, given the subject matter of my book, she actually suggested at first that I purchase a smaller package than I'd initially intended so that she could gauge interest accordingly. As it happened, we got more stops and reviews than expected! I was grateful for her honesty and her clear communication. I'd definitely work with Lauren again!" - Elizabeth Ann Wood, author of Bound: A Daughter, a Domme, and an End-of-Life Story

"Lauren of iRead Book Tours was recommended to me from my book marketer, Mary Walewski in Denver, Colorado.  This is my second published book.  Lauren constructed and advised me on creating a two-week virtual book tour.  Lauren was exceedingly helpful and professional in our many interactions by phone and e-mail.  My particular book tour was extremely successful, and created considerable interest in my book.  Lauren answered all of my inquiries with precise information and instructions.  I would wholeheartedly recommend to any author utilizing Lauren's expertise and knowledge in promoting and marketing your work.  Thank you Lauren." James S. Juliana, author of A Secret Life: Enduring and Triumphing Over OCD: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

"iRead Book Tours are great!  We just love the reviews and blogs and postings.  Thank you so much. Lion really likes his  quiet space under his tree and he doesn’t go out a lot.  When Lauren said she and her friends could help with getting the word out for our book about feelings and Self love we were very happy.  Owl and grumpy Pufferfish were excited too that their message could be spread around to children and adults.  We can’t tell you how much the animals liked hearing the feedback from children, adults and parents.  Working with Lauren and her team was just purrrrrrrrfect for us.  (especially for Lion)  He’s a little more laid back and private than us other animals. We just love what Lauren and the writers did for us, and look forward to working with them again on our next books. Thank you again." - Lion Iam, author of Yummy Me Feels So Good

"I’m a first-time author with a book release in the middle of the COVID-19 epidemic. Due to the quarantine, all my scheduled appearance and book signing events were canceled. I’m lucky to have Lauren and iRead Book Tours come to the rescue. Lauren got my book into the hands of book reviewers and bloggers. She set up guest posts, book spotlights, book reviews, author interviews, giveaways, and more... Lauren knew her business, was very professional and responsive. The book tour turned out to be successful. Thank you, Lauren and iRead Book Tours." - Tim Tran, author of American Dreamer--How I Escape Communist Vietnam and Built a Successful Life in America

"Lauren’s iRead Book Tours provided me with a PHENOMENAL book tour. iRead Book Tours identified bloggers and reviewers familiar with my book’s genre: poetry. Lauren took the time to learn about me and my book in order to optimize the tour. Then she ‘kicked it up a notch’ by organizing the tour so that it flowed beautifully from opening to middle to end. She is like an orchestra conductor. Brilliant! Lauren has a very easy-to-follow process of managing the tour and she kept me informed at each step. She was patient and supportive whenever I had a question. If you would like to use a book tour to stimulate interest in your book or book series, I highly recommend iRead Book Tours. This tour worked wonders for me by professionally presenting my book to many new and influential people in my target audience. Thank you, Lauren, and iRead Book Tours. I give you a rating of One Million Stars, seriously! I will use iRead Book Tours again." — Lee Hudspeth, author of Incandescent Visions

"Lauren Carr is a great author and the owner of iRead Book Tours. I have used other book tour services before, but none came close to this one. Lauren was always there for me, guiding me throughout the process and making sure my book reached the right audience. I will not think twice the next time a need a book tour. I’ve learned to trust Lauren and to admire her commitment. I’m happy to recommend her!" - Daniel Davidsohn, author of Goddess Among Men

"With COVID-19 bringing all of my in-person marketing efforts to a screeching halt, I knew I had to get moving for virtual promotions. Lauren and iRead helped me kick these efforts off incredibly well! I saw more people popping up on my social media pages thanks to the tour and I know I'm selling more books than I would have without iRead. Lauren was always quick to respond to my questions and did an outstanding job to make the whole process easy for me. This tour was definitely worth both my time and money! I've already recommended iRead and Lauren to another local author." - Amy Thornton, author of Lightening Your Mental Load

"Lauren Carr's iReads book tour is amazing!  She gets real results.  Not only did I get thousands of new eyes on my series, but I grew my following on all social media channels as well.  Lauren has a dedicated group of reviewers and bloggers who are competent and reliable - no more wasted ARCs mailed out with no results.  Likewise, Lauren herself is extremely organized and professional.  Included in the package is an author home page with links to every blog and review site.  She answered every one of my emails almost immediately, and no question was ever too much for her.  She really cares about authors and promoting books.  I will definitely use her services again!" - Michelle Cox, author of the Henrietta and Inspector Howard Novels 

"I am a first time author and had never heard of a "virtual book tour".  I have to say though with whatever tension I felt about the experience it evaporated quickly thanks to Lauren's professionalism throughout.  She was incredibly responsive, efficient and communicative during the entire process.  I would highly recommend working with her regardless of your seasoning as an author.  As a newbie though she truly made the experience one that I treasured and look forward to revisiting in the future." - Eric Lynn, author of Notes To My Son 

"I had no idea what a virtual book tour is, until I met Lauren Carr, owner of iRead Book Tours. She told me how her tours work, explained the different options available and, taking into consideration my lack of experience, made a recommendation, which I readily accepted. The tour came off like clockwork, and while I understood she could not guarantee success, I am more than pleased with how it all turned out. I would not hesitate to use iRead Book Tours again." - Sam Rennick, author of Stefan’s Promise

"This online book tour with I Read Books certainly started a buzz about #bluegirlonanightdreamsea! Every day there were more twitter notifications and likes for my Facebook author page. Not only were the reviews delightful, but the sense that readers were seeing them and responding was very satisfying. I was able to multiply the effect by quoting and reusing reviews across all the social media I'm on. I am happy to recommend that authors tour their new novels this way." - Ginny Fite, author of Blue Girl on a Night Dream Sea

"I was not an easy client. Lauren asked her reviewers to read a 116,000 word novel in 30 days. That is no small feat. She came through in outstanding fashion securing 13 posted reviews and 24 stops. She impressed me with her professionalism and commitment to help me with my first tour. Will I use her again? In a heartbeat. She has become part of my team in publishing my future novels. My only regret. I did not discover her talent several years ago." - JB Morris, author of The Beijing Memorandum

"I have used a few virtual book tour sites over the years and most were just okay. Lauren at Iread goes that extra mile and utilizes some very good bloggers and reviewers. You are not treated like just a client she really does add a personal touch to it helping authors every step of the way. From all those I have used in the past she is definitely the best by far."
- Simon Gandossi, author of Cecilia House

"I have greatly enjoyed taking a ‘tour’ with Lauren Carr. She made the process simple. How? She answered her phone and talked to me! I can’t tell you how many things I’ve started only to quit because I either get voicemail or get someone immediately telling me to go to a webpage because, “It has everything you need.” (They don’t, fyi.) Lauren is a real human being – pulse, voice, ideas, ability to tolerate my rants and convincingly fake a laugh at my awful jokes. This matters. Thanks, Lauren."
- Chris Riker, author of Come the Eventide

“I launched my first book in March 2018, but that meant I simply hit publish in KDP. It took a while before I realized the importance of creating awareness around the book. For a brief 2 months I tried to reach bloggers myself. I was quickly extremely overwhelmed by the effort and I could barely get 2-3 to write about my book. That’s when I found Lauren Carr & iRead Book Tours. I value their work and their service so much, because it allows me to focus on the creative work. Based on my experience with reaching bloggers I had almost given up the idea of reaching to them, but sure enough, in a matter of days, Lauren was able to sign up about a dozen bloggers for my nook. I was amazed. Lauren is such a kind person, I love her communication skills and the vibe she gives in every email.i must admit, due to slight delays on my part Lauren’s job was not an easy one, but her appeasing attitude and focus on results, got us through! Conscientious, effective & warm, I will surely be back for my next launches and I warmly recommend.”
​- Madeleine Matthews, author of Matt's Swirly World

​"Thank you so much for an extraordinary book tour! Your level of professionalism, follow-through, personal attention to detail, and the blogs on your tour make you the absolute go to for book tours. Your expertise and knowledge of marketing, publicity and the publishing industry was evident from our very first email correspondence to every conversation after and from the start to finish of the book tour. You are a consummate professional and an absolute joy to partner with. You will be, without a doubt, my first call for every new book release. Thank you for the incredible service you provide and for all of your help."
- Sejal Badani, author of The Storyteller's Secret

"My gratitude to Laura Fabiani and her team of bloggers. A special thanks to Laura for her organization and management of the blog tour for The Revolutionist and Burton Blake.

- Robert Tucker, author of The Revolutionist and Burton Blake

- Liane Carter, author of Tammy The Cat With a Big Attitude and Darcy The Dog Who Talked

"Laura Fabiani is by far the best publicist I've ever worked with and I've worked with quite a few. The entire process with her was a breeze. Laura was kind, easy to ask questions to, and quick to respond. I understood the steps with ease. For the first time, I enjoyed going through a book tour. As a YA novel writer, getting reviews and attention can be difficult but with Laura by my side, I knew everything was going to be okay. And sure enough! Reviews came pouring in, comments were aplenty and I was even contacted by other businesses interested in me appearing on their site because of what they'd seen from her book tour. Thank you, Laura! I look forward to working with you again in the future."
- Aspen Bassett, author of A Penny Lost

"As soon as I contacted Laura Fabiani, I knew I was dealing with someone who knew her business and would respond promptly and clearly to my questions. I must confess, I didn’t even understand the language of book tours and the choices I had, but Laura explained it all to me (more than once!) patiently and “held my hand” every step of the way. By the week following the end of my tour, I saw a rise in sales, an increase in the number of subscribers to my newsletter, and reviews added to my book’s Goodreads, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon sites. And so, I recommend iRead Book Tours wholeheartedly."
- June Trop, author of The Deadliest Sport

"I wrote my fifth book for a slightly different audience than my others. I needed help convincing readers that Clod Makes A Friend was worth their time. I wanted buzz, and I wanted reviews. Laura Fabiani put together an incredible tour that exceeded those expectations. I will definitely go back to iRead Book Tours for my next blog tour!"
- David J. Pedersen, author of Clod Makes a Friend

"Laura Fabiani supported us on a new book release aimed at parents and selecting healthy food. She found more than 20 bloggers to write on the book, coordinated reviews and organized our giveaways.

- Ryan Slabaugh, General Manager of Acres USA

- Fred Shackelford, author of The Ticket
​
“Having never done a virtual book tour, and suspecting that I had better learn soon how to do one, I found my tour managed by iRead Book Tours to be very much the eye-opener that I needed.  The range of prompt and candid reviews showed me rather quickly where I needed to adjust marketing plans for my book. Also, an author interview, and three blog site postings included in my tour package let me see much more clearly the writing world through the eyes of reviewers. My warmest thanks to Laura Fabiani for selecting blog sites with the needed diversity of feedback, exactly as promised.”
- Rod A.Walters, author of Golden Gremlin

​"iRead Book Tours is a fabulous outlet for authors of any age, style or genre. I thoroughly enjoyed Halley's Casino's book tour and was impressed with the whole operation from the blogs to reviews.

"I feel truly blessed to have my book review tour done by iRead Book Tours. Each of the review that I received caught my attention and gave me a wonderful surprise. I felt my book is in loving hands of readers, who are reading my book not just to post a lengthy and a mechanical review, but are reaching the depth of the words I have written, truly feeling it and then writing a beautiful review out of it. A truly heartfelt review is the most precious thing an author can ever receive, and that is what I got from them. They truly have won my heart. Laura is a really wonderful person to work with and was very responsive throughout the tour. She plays her role diligently, and I received more reviews than I was supposed to receive. I recommend all authors to get theirs reviews done by Laura and her magical team." 
- Nidhi Kaur, author of A Journey to Yonder

While I don’t know exactly how many people saw my book, the fact that over 4550 people entered the giveaway for a free copy suggests that the answer is “lots”! Laura was incredibly helpful and responsive, and made sure everything went smoothly and that all my questions were answered. A friend suggested I send my book on an iRead Book Tour. I am so glad I did!"
- Dixie Tenny, author of How to Find Your Dream Dog  

"Laura and iRead Book Tours was recommended to us by a fellow author. Laura was fantastic to work with. She did everything she said she was going to do, and then some.

- Jean-François Sauré, publisher of Editorial Saure

"I couldn't be happier with Laura Fabiani and iRead Book Tours. It was not only great exposure for my first book, but it was a pleasure to be featured by such an elite team of bloggers.

I look forward to working with Laura and iRead Book Tours again.  I HIGHLY recommend this service. You will be pleased."
- Yvonne Williams Casaus author of A Drop of Water: A Spiritual Journey

Not only did the the review package help bolster my amazon reviews more than I could have imagined, but the giveaway drew so much interest I was having a hard time keeping up with all the shares!

This is not one of those situations where you feel you have to stand on your head to get answers. The company is responsive and fast and they know what it means to provide good customer service.

- Kemley Whiteside author of Accepted, Secured, Significant:  Empowering, Igniting and Fulfilling your Purpose   

​"I just completed my book tour with iRead Book Tours, and once again Laura Fabiani did a fabulous job. I have been in the industry as a writer, agent, and publisher for over twenty years, and during that time I have worked with a lot of book marketers and tour companies. Without question, Laura has been the most enjoyable to work with. She is dependable, professional, and she produces results. One of the positive results that came from the reviews and spotlight of my nonfiction book, Kathryn Kelly: The Moll behind Machine Gun Kelly, is that I have been contacted about a possible film option. I look forward to working with Laura again."
- Barbara Casey, author of Kathryn Kelly: The Moll behind Machine Gun Kelly

"For the money spent, Laura Fabiani and iRead Book Tours did much more for IN THE CONTEXT OF LOVE than the publicist I hired! I was most pleased with the number of fair and honest reviews on Amazon and Goodreads -- we all know how important reader reviews are. Be assured that understanding the complexities and getting ready for the tour is fairly simple because Laura is so well organized. She will tell you what the bloggers need, and you send it all to her. Easy! You worked hard on your book, so don't let it languish unseen. Book an iRead Book Tour."
- Linda K. Sienkiewicz, author of In the Context of Love

"My virtual book tour with iRead is what really helped my book get traction, since it gave me substantial social media mentions and so many reviews that people are utilizing it when considering buying the book. The reviewers were fair and balanced and because of iRead's trade contacts I was able to be afforded these reviews, otherwise on my own, it would have been quite costly and an uphill climb. Laura Fabiani is very easy and professional to work with and she really understands the intricacies of her trade and I highly recommend authors to use her services, where I am certain they will be quite pleased."
- Joseph Gulesserian, author of Newspaper Boys Always Deliver

"Touring with iRead Book Tours was a pleasure. The responses and tour-readiness of iRead Book Tours with the listings of the tour-host sites, as well as the considerations with my agent Barbara Casey were much appreciated. Responding to bloggers who stop by/comment during the tour is a given courtesy, yet, it's also more than that. Sharing a few moments with those who've taken time to acknowledge the team efforts of the tour, is a participation AND an obligation of good manners."
- Hawk MacKinney, author of The Hidden Chamber of Death
​
"Working with iRead Book Tours was not just easy and carefree, it felt like I was working with a team that cared deeply about my book and myself as an author.

- L. Davis Munro, author of Emmy Nation: Undercover Suffragette
​
"I had a wonderful experience with iRead Book Tours, and would not hesitate to recommend them to any writer. Laura worked closely with me throughout, answering any questions I had and always providing interviews and other material to me well in advance. As a single parent who works and attends school, I don’t have much free time on my hands. I feel that the tour with iRead Book Tours gave me breathing room, so that I could sit back and know my book was being promoted daily even while I was busy. I saw huge interest in the raffle – which is a great idea – for copies of my book. Laura even upgraded my tour package, giving me additional stops at no extra charge. The blogs chosen for my novel were diverse in interest, but all were a good fit for my book, which is so important: you can never guarantee a good review, but no one comes out happy from a poor match. As it happens, I was thrilled with all of my reviews. I have already recommended iRead Book Tours to friends who are also writers, and wouldn't hesitate to use them again."   
- Alice Hayes, author of The Thread That Binds

I had an all around excellent experience and wouldn’t hesitate to book another tour."
- Sally Allen, author of Unlocking Worlds: A Reading Companion for Book Lovers

"Having just completed my first virtual book tour with Laura and iRead Book Tours the experience is still very fresh in my mind and what a great experience it was!  Laura's ability to add a personal touch to her high level of professionalism helped to make my learning curve a pleasant one.  Questions were answered promptly, the process was clearly outlined, tour hosts were thoughtful in their reviews, and everything went as promised. One of my tour hosts even pulled a quote from my book and created a Pinterest pin that made its way through the social media flurry that is part of the buzz created by an iRead tour. Adding my comments to Laura's "praise page" is a pleasure - thanks Laura - I look forward to the next time!"
- Lorrie Forde, CEC,ACC - Coach and Author, Really Good F Words: Your Interactive Guide to Self-Care

My Amazon page is now filled with enthusiastic reviews and I’ve made many new friends—both readers and fellow writers. Laura and her staff were prompt and professional, making the tour easy and fun for me. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to novelists who want to give their books an extra boost."
- Nancy Schoellkopf, author of Yellow-billed Magpie

"Working with Laura and iRead Book TAs a first time author, I found the IREADBOOKTOUR to be fun and a great learning experience plus a valuable marketing service. Lauren organized the tour very well, was a great communicator and lined up thoughtful bloggers. I enjoyed and appreciated the bloggers different perspectives on the book and the key messages that each took away from the book. I am planning to follow-up my tour with a spotlight tour. I’d highly recommend this service to others. It is well organized and delivers results.  Nancy Carlisle, Author of Mia and the Hummingbird.
ours was an amazing experience. I was introduced to a whole new group of readers that had no knowledge of my work previously. This was truly a brand broadening venture. When it was all said and done I received positive feedback from India, the U.K., the Philippines and Canada in addition to here in the states. It was well worth the price to have iRead handle my book tour."
- D.K. Smith, author of Mind Over Bullies: A Mob Forms
 
​I have worked with a number of virtual book tour companies through the years, so I can say with absolute certainty that iRead Book Tours is the best. Laura Fabiani has put together a team that is experienced, organized, and proactive. During my six week tour, KILL AND RUN received tremendous exposure all across the internet, including social media, to keep its ranking at the top in police procedurals. iRead Book Tours definitely had a hand in a successful launch of this first installment of my new mystery series. I highly recommend them.
- ​Lauren Carr, author of the Mac Faraday, Lovers in Crime, and the Thorny Rose Mysteries

The greatest benefit of doing an iRead book tour are the reviews. Of the 54 stops, 51 (94%) did reviews of my books. That means 17 reviews for each of the three books in the series.I have done only one other blog tour in the past. The percentage of blogs that did reviews in that tour was closer to 50%.

It would be pretty hard to beat 94%, in any case. Many bloggers prefer to have you do guest posts or interviews, which is quite okay and understandable. Doing guest posts/interviews benefits you, the author, (wider exposure) and it gives a blogger an entry for the day without as much sweat as when she has to write it herself. Reviews require a real commitment on busy bloggers that I find priceless.

The reviews were helpful for more than the obvious reasons—from scoring better on elusive Amazon algorithms to inducing a reader to buy. Based on things bloggers said they liked or found wanting about the books, I got some sense of the attributes/characteristics that likely resonate with readers.
​
I also got a clearer idea of the profile of the reader who might find these types of books appealing—a profile beyond the demographics of female, 18+ years old, with some college education. iRead Book Tours is certainly the first one I’ll go to when I do this again.

If you're looking for insightful feedback and want to get your book noticed, I highly recommend, Laura Fabiani and the team at iRead Book Tours.  They are professional, and their bloggers are honest and sincere.  Not only did my tour of "No Poverty Between the Sheets" stimulate sales of this book, but I also had readers contact me to reserve copies of the sequel title.  I am so delighted and impressed with my first tour that I've already booked a second.  iRead Book Tours Rocks! 
- Pauline Kiely, author of No Poverty Between the Sheets

iRead Book Tours was recommended to me by Julie Whiteley (book blogger at ‘The Book Review’). When I first decided to do the virtual tour of ‘Lola’s Money’ I wasn’t sure what to expect as I have never done one before. I was pleased to find the whole thing going very smoothly and Laura Fabiani is a proactive co-ordinator who makes you feel that nothing is too much trouble. I had initially thought that completing the guest posts and answering the interview questions would be a bit of a chore, but was surprised to find myself enjoying the experience. The reviews were worth waiting for and the interaction with bloggers and potential readers made me feel more connected. I hope to do another tour at some time in the future.

I can't thank Laura Fabiani enough for her handling of my iRead Book Tour for Life Outside the Box. She is a true professional who pulled in some amazing bloggers to review my book and dealt with all my questions quickly and efficiently. It is obvious she takes a personal interest in each author and works hard to provide the best promotion possible. In addition to receiving great book reviews, this tour opened the door to an international readership (London, Malta & India), helped me make a few great new connections and really boosted my Social Media presence. I highly recommend iRead Book Tour for any author releasing a new book.

You answered all my questions in a timely manner and I felt completely at ease leaving everything in your capable hands. Would I plan another iRead book tour? In a heartbeat. Thanks so much!

I adore iRead Book Tours, I've worked with Laura through two releases and a cover reveal and she is always professional, very, very helpful and puts together a great tour. Being in publishing and having seen a lot of tours and tour companies, I can honestly say that iRe“I launched my first book in March 2018, but that meant I simply hit publish in KDP :)
It took a while before I realized the importance of creating awareness around the book. For a brief 2 months I tried to reach bloggers myself. I was quickly extremely overwhelmed by the effort and I could barely get 2-3 to write about my book.
 
That’s when I found Lauren & iRead Book Tours.
I value their work and their service so much, because it allows me to focus on the creative work. Based on my experience with reaching bloggers I had almost given up the idea of reaching to them, but sure enough, in a matter of days, Lauren was able to sign up about a dozen bloggers for my nook. I was amazed.
Lauren is such a kind person, I love her communication skills and the vibe she gives in every email.i must admit, due to slight delays on my part Lauren’s job was not an easy one, but her appeasing attitude and focus on results, got us through! Consciencious, effective & warm, I will surely be back for my next launches and I warmly recommend.🥰”
ad is the best. Thanks, Laura!

iRead Book Tours is a "MUST DO" for every author! Working with Laura was an absolute pleasure. She is extremely professional and over delivers. I have nothing but positive things to say about Laura and every aspect of the tour, including her bloggers. This is a first class operation and I highly recommend  it for every author. The exposure was better than TV! I can't wait to do this again!

iRead Book Tours did a great job in helping me promote my book.  The tour put my picture book "Pants! No Chance!" on the global map.  Not only did it get me great reviews by prominent bloggers but a lot of attention on social media.  Laura Fabiani was wonderful to work with and helped me every step of the way with great tips and advice.  Books don't sell themselves, that's why I highly recommend iRead Book Tours for anyone who wants to get their book out there.
