VIRTUAL BOOK TOURS FOR AUTHORS

What is a Virtual Book Tour?

A Virtual Book Tour means never having to leave your house, yet your appearances will take you all over the world. The exposure is tremendous. No more lugging books around to signings; all of this is done from the comfort of your own home. Are you not able to attend booksignings in the outside world? Do you find it's sometimes a waste of time because you only sell a couple of books at the most?
