If you’re gearing up to promote your new book or to revive an already published title, you might think you should do a book tour. Contact bookstores and cafes. Make posters. Sell books out of the trunk of your car.
But in our wild and futuristic world, now you can do a book tour without leaving home.
You can read about it here in How to Run Your Own Online Book Tour and Save Money, by Penny Sansevieri, founder of Author Marketing Experts, Inc., and a best-selling author and internationally recognized book marketing and media relations expert.
Better yet, come to the BAIPA meeting this Saturday and learn from Penny Sansevieri in person.
The morning session will focus on the best ways to get the most out of an online book tour and ways to significantly increase your book exposure online.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- How to determine when you should start pitching bloggers.
- How to know which bloggers to pitch and which ones to stay away from.
- How to find the right bloggers for your book.
- How to get the most out of your blogger feature.
- How to double or triple the reviews you get.
The afternoon workshop will be a deeper dive into online book tours, plus how to gain early momentum on Amazon.
Penny Sansevieri, an Adjunct Professor who teaches Self-Publishing at NYU, is the author of 18 books, including How to Sell Your Books by the Truckload on Amazon, 5-Minute Book Marketing for Authors and How to Revise and Re-Release Your Book!

One of my favorite things about BAIPA is its culture of generosity, the willingness — even eagerness — to share what we have each learned in the process of bringing stories to life. We provide educational programs, networking, marketing opportunities, encouragement, and information on industry vendors and services. And lots of one-on-one advice and mentoring.
We welcome all who have an interest in making connections within the world of independent publishing and learning more about how to publish and sell their work successfully. Together we are raising the standard of independent publishing and helping our members thrive.
Do join us!
