It's that time of year again! Time for sign-ups for the Back to School Blog Tour. This is my seventh one, and I usually take on 4-5 authors to feature a children's author with an interview and featured book blurb mention. Last year, I ended up having to double up on some days to fit in everyone, which is totally fine. So all children's authors interested, please feel free to PM on the board or post if you are interested in the thread.
The Back to School Tour will run from
Monday Sept. 9 through Friday Sept. 13. (Yeah, I know it's Friday the 13th. But hey, kids will still have to go to school that day too, and the world will keep spinning. Who knows, maybe I can get a spooky book for that day.)
If you are chosen and would like to do a giveaway, I'll feature it in your post. You can run it through your website or use a host site like Rafflecopter.com. I can do a participating giveaway of a gift card for people that stop and post it each day so people come back each time. Usually I do an Amazon gift card for the main giveaway. But lots of individual giveaways by the authors would be awesome too. But it is optional. It just enhances your feature post to have a giveaway. ;-)
Now, this is free for the first 4-5 sign-ups. I do offer this as a service through Fiverr, and will likely have people signing up that way too. So, my free slots will fill up fast and then I'll have to close it. So, get back to me as soon as you can. I ended up having about 10 authors last year and I have to cap at that. I can't have more than 2 authors a day. Since I've been having paid interviews featured on my blog, the traffic has really picked up. But I've always had free slots for this blog tour, and will keep at least 4-5 slots for free open. It's been the way I've been supporting the Indie Children's author community over the years.
I feature picture book, middle grade and YA children's authors. The whole range. I usually don't feature board book authors.
Anyway, what you need:
-Author Bio
-I'll supply you 3-5 questions to answer
-Book Cover in jpeg or png
-Book Blurb
-Optional Author Photo
-Optional Giveaway link to be posted with your featured post

If you have any questions, please feel free to post on the thread or PM me.
I'm looking forward to the 7th year of this fabulous event. And Happy Back to School to all those teachers out there!
I'm with you in that enthusiasm even though I'm not in a classroom anymore. And yeah, sometimes I do miss it. So, this is a way to support my fellow teachers as well. ;-)
