The "Do It Yourself Book Tour" had some great advice. I'm saving this one, in case I'm ever in that position.
I agree. The book tour info is great. Thanks for finding and sharing this info.
This was indeed a great post with tons of honest, self-deprecating advice.
That aside, I truly, honestly need to know - do book tours really help? Do they sell enough books to make it worthwhile?
I watched a video of John le Carré, for god's sake, doing a book tour and it looked downright uncomfortable.
Isn't the reason we all became writers that we don't really, um, like, um, standing in front of crowds to, um make presentations? Especially about ourselves...
So glad that you appreciated that link! You should scroll down to the "bulletin" hyperlink near the bottom of that page and subscribe to the Glimmer Train newsletter it came from.
And yes, LCS249, you raise good points.
