Book Tour Add-Ons
Social Media Advertising
The primary goal of any book tour is to get the word out far and wide about your book. We have found that paid advertisements on Instagram/Facebook/Twitter will expand exposure of your book to thousands of potential readers beyond our and our bloggers' followers.
When you add-on our social media advertisements, our social media manager will custom design an advertisement for your book to run on Instagram/Facebook/Twitter from our accounts during the course of your book tour.
Author on iTours Interview
Authors on iTours is iRead Book Tour's podcast. Our author interviews and reviews can be viewed here on our website, our YouTube or our Rumble channels. For an additional fee, we will schedule a video author interview in advance of your tour to be uploaded to your tour page and included in your media kit.
