“Hi Teddy,
“Okay so The Raie’Chaelia blog tour ended on September 1st and I have to say that the month of August during this tour has been so much fun! I loved reading the reviews of bloggers who took the time to read the novel and comment on it. Not only were these reviews extremely helpful in getting the word out about my book, they were also very constructive, teaching me about my writing habits and what I may want to fine tune as I write the second book of the trilogy.The blog tour itself was a complete success! I highly recommend, for both publishers and indie authors, to seek the services of Teddy Rose’ Premier Virtual Author Blog Tours! Before the tour started, I had maybe one or two sales during the first two months the book was live.
The fact of the matter is, it’s hard when you are first starting out and no one knows you. It takes time and work to build an author platform and the more help you can get from friends, family, and colleagues, the better. So during the month of August, the blog tour really helped … a lot. Not only did I see a jump in sales, I had over 200 people contact me through my website, asking if they could review my book as well, which of course I happily let them and am still receiving reviews from these readers.
Overall, though, this month of August was great! I am so looking forward to finishing the next two books of the trilogy and to starting their subsequent blog tours.”

“I hired Teddy Rose’s Premier Virtual Author Book Tours to set up a blog tour for me six months after my novel, A DOG’S WAY HOME, came out. I wanted to give my book a little extra boost after the initial release publicity had died down. Teddy did a fantastic job picking bloggers that fit my specific needs–mainly bloggers who had a significant teacher and librarian following. She was extremely well organized and got the needed information to me in a timely manner. And the tour was a lot of fun!”

“Teddy,
I am very pleased with the tour. I think you, in particular, did an excellent job not only setting things up quickly and efficiently, but also managing the communications, interviews, and guest posts between me and the reviewers and fielding questions whenever I had them. Your responses were always prompt and amiable.
Thanks for everything!”

“As an author of a new novel, I had been searching for a way to get my name out there and to get exposure for Hot Chocolate, my wickedly funny cozy mystery novel. One of my friends mentioned a virtual book tour. I had never heard of such a thing, so I went to the Internet and searched. I am so happy that I went with Premier Virtual Author Book Tours for my first tour! Teddy Rose is a whirlwind of a tour operator. She takes control quickly, lines up the bloggers, keeps everyone on track for their tour dates, and she coached me as to what I needed to do and provide. Every single review was fantastic with the majority of reviewers saying they laughed out loud reading Hot Chocolate, and felt like they could sit down with any of my characters and have a conversation. Teddy picked the very best when she chose these bloggers. I enjoyed the interviews and question and answer sessions. It was a lot of fun reading questions and providing answers.
In the month-long tour, I had the chance to get to know this wonderful lady named Teddy Rose, and can honestly say I have made a friend for life! I highly recommend Premier and Teddy Rose. It’s all about personal service and heart. Teddy has all of that and more.”
I have to tell you I was very pleased with Premier Virtual Author Book Tour. Unlike another internet ad campaign I had used, this one did a better job of promoting the most important piece of information about my book, which is the award.

“Being part of “Virtual Author Book Tours” was the best decision I made as an author and book marketer. I had no idea what to expect — I just knew that I had a wonderful book and it needed exposure. Teddy Rose supplied that— and so much more. From the very beginning, she guided me through the process (since this was my first virtual tour) and helped me every step of the way. I got 41 online reviews — and thousands of hits. I have a new book coming out — and, believe me, I am going to use her skills again. She is absolutely terrific.”

”I can only rave about how great it was to work with Teddy on my blog tour. I really appreciated how organized she is and how much easier she made the entire process for me. I also know that a lot of people will not review self-pubbed titles. Working with Teddy gave me an “in” on a lot of blog sites that otherwise would not have looked twice at my book. I definitely plan to work with Teddy on future blog tours.”
Camille Picott, author of Sulan.
“Teddy, muchas gracias for organizing a great tour. You did a fantastic job and handled all the logistics I simply could not and would not want to do. ” I would definitely recommend your services to other authors.”

I thought the book tour was great. I couldn’t believe the positive response overall to my novel! It was incredible to have strangers who did not know my area or much about me or the story to enjoy it so. It reinforced something in me as a writer — that I can do it. I don’t always know but as I often say the proof is in the pudding. If people enjoy the story, it is that much closer to being a ‘real writer’ and that was my hope for the book tour.
I think the exposure has been very good. I look at the bloggers followers — have many, plus the additional comments on Goodreads and Amazon.
I think this is better than a book signing tour. Those days are probably disappearing for authors in general as social media dominants. It is an honest medium.
I think you did a professional job, you were on top of everything and you steadily used social media. I appreciate that you will continue to do so as there are other possible reviews. It has been wonderful to work with you.
