What We Do

Jaime | 1:47 PM | 33 Comments
Rockstar Book Tours is committed to promoting the books we love through Book Tours, Cover and Trailer Reveals and Scavenger Hunt Giveaway Tours, Instagram Tours, & Social Media Blitzes. We focus on books in these genres: YA (all genres), Middle Grade, Picture Books, Adult Books specializing in PNR/UF, Sci-Fi, Reverse Harem, Contemporary, Historical, & New Adult (all genres). We may work with non-fiction books depending on if we think we will get a good response from our bloggers.


We’ve hosted many authors including some New York Times Bestselling Authors and USA Today Bestselling Authors! Here is just a few authors we have hosted tours for! Jay Kristoff, Neil Patrick Harris, Jeffery Deaver, Claudia Gray, Richelle Mead, Melissa Marr, Holly Black, A.G. Howard, Maria V. Snyder, Robin La Fevers, Claire Legrand, Wendy Higgins, Susan Dennard, Rae Carson, Wendy Higgins, Lesley Livingston, Sherry Thomas, Mindy MgGinnis, Virginia Boecker, Sabba Tahir, RenĂ©e Ahdieh, Sarah J. Maas, Martina Boone, Page Morgan, Melissa Grey and more! We work with all of the Big 5 publishing houses and smaller publishers! If you’d like to see all of our upcoming tours you can look here.

We are a one-stop shop. From start to finish we will organize everything. Author participation is limited to writing guest posts, answering interview questions, and, if needed, providing review copies, swag, or books for giveaway. That’s it! The rest is up to us.

Cover or Trailer Reveals

We will reach out to no less than 20 bloggers to participate in cover and trailer reveals. You give us the details and we will get the word out.

If you have a minimum or maximum number of blogs you want participating on the reveal or other blog-size requirements we will make every attempt to meet those goals.

Scavenger Hunt Giveaways

We will reach out to a small number of genre-appropriate blogs that will bring maximum exposure to your scavenger hunt with the aim of having no more than 20 participating blogs.

While scavenger hunts can be great ways of enticing readers to learn more about a book, having too many stops can result in confusion rather than promotion so we’d prefer to keep them on the smaller side.

Book Tours

Tour specifications:

Tour dates. All tour stops will be scheduled Monday through Friday and will have one (or two if requested by the author) stops per day unless otherwise requested.

Once the dates for the tour have been set they cannot be changed without extenuating circumstances such as release date change, author unavailability, etc. Any last minute changes to tour dates may result in a tour’s cancellation if all participating blogs do not agree to the change.

Tour length. Rockstar Book Tours will arrange  two-week  tours, but are willing to consider tours of other lengths. Two-week tours will have no fewer than 10 stops and no more than 20.

The length of a tour cannot be changed without extenuating circumstances such as release date changes, etc. However, if a few additional days/stops needed to be added to a tour to accommodate overwhelming interest, we may be willing to extend the tour.

Tour hosts. We will work to ensure the best match possible between your book and the participating tour host. If you have a specific blog or blogger that is not among our list of tour hosts that you would like to be invited to participate, please let us know and we will reach out to them.

While we will select the hosts for your tour, you will have the right to review the schedule prior to our announcement and be given the opportunity to make changes, within reason.

Tour posts. Our tours will feature a mix of guest posts, “top ten” lists, author or character interviews, excerpts and reviews. While we can’t guarantee that your book is to everyone’s taste, we will make every effort in advance to find the right readers for your book. If one of the participating tour host reviews is negative or lower than 4 stars we ask that they refrain from posting their reviews until after the tour and will offer them a promotional post instead.

Giveaways. Giveaways are not required but they are recommended. Individual giveaways can be hosted on each tour stop, a group giveaway can be hosted across all tour stops or it can consist of some combination of both.

Not every tour stop needs to host a giveaway.

Notice. Ideally we would like to have two to three months advance notice of a tour. This will allow us time to select the bloggers, provide them with review copies and give the author time to write the guest posts and answer the interview questions.

If that amount of lead time is not possible, we may still be willing to put together a tour. We will decide on a case-by-case basis depending on such factors as tour length, post type, number of stops, etc.

Advertising and Promotion. All tours will be advertised here and on Fiktshun and Two Chicks on Books. Our promotional efforts will begin prior to and will continue throughout the tour with a combination of posts on our blogs and our blogs’ Facebook pages and through other social media outlets such as Twitter and Tumblr.

Design. We will design all the tour banners for you here at Rockstar Book Tours! We both have experience designing tour banners for authors and publishers. Below are some examples...









Our goal is to put you and your book in the spotlight and provide maximum exposure so that audiences old and new will have your book on their radar. Whether your book is soon-to-be-released, newly released or is on shelves now, we want to generate buzz.

While tours can be stressful and time-consuming, we want to make it less so for you. Let us handle the organizing, planning, scheduling and promoting and let our expertise help make your tour a successful one.

How It Works - the basics

You reach out to us with your tour request - Book Tour, Social Media Blitz, Cover or Trailer Reveal, Scavenger Hunt Giveaway.

Once we’ve accepted your request we determine tour type, tour length and tour dates.

We design a banner and button and create a post announcing the tour.

We reach out to our blogger tour hosts, or special request bloggers, via eVite or email and invite others to sign up through Twitter and on our Tour Host page.

We promote the tour on the blog tour sidebar and on Two Chicks on Books and Fiktshun, on Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr.

We select the bloggers and post types and finalize the schedule and pass it along to you for your approval.

Barring any changes, all that’s left is for you to write the posts, answer the questions and send out the review copies. We will make sure everything else runs according to plan.

Once the tour has ended, we will forward along any giveaway prize winners. And, upon request, we will send you direct links to each of the stops on the tour.

Our Reach

Blogs. Two Chicks on Books have an (average) of 30,000 visitors per month.

Twitter. I have a combined follow count of approximately 6,800 on Jaime's personal Twitter and RockstarBkTours.

Facebook. I have combined “likes” of approximately 2,500 on Rockstar Book Tours & Two Chicks on Books.

Instagram. I have a follower count of approximately 1,058 on JaimeRockstarBookTours.

  5. Your services look wonderful! I've published a middle school fiction bully prevention book with Book Baby. (Most of my other books are traditionally published and this is my first venture into self-publishing.) I'm taking the first steps to book a blog tour with a paying company. But I'd also like to go with your company as it looks very professional. Would that be okay? Would you still be willing to consider my book? Please let me know when you have time. Thanks very much and good luck with the great work you do!

  13. Hi. I have self published four YA books from a series of ten. I am going to be perfectly blunt with you - the books are very good but they are a little different from the normal YA fare. They are good tales with a literary bent, looking beyond the superficial.

    In many ways they are a cross between Planet of the Apes and The Hunger Games...so as you can see they are quite unique. The reviews of the few people who have read them are exceptionally good but the linger in obscurity on Amazon.

    To be perfectly honest, I need your help!

    Warmest regards, Carmen.capuano@ymail.com

  14. Hello! I've just launched my 4th book, "Rubberman's Cage".(first in a new series)

    Let me just dump the official blurb:

    Lenth grew up in a lie.
    Apparently there's more than five people in the world.

    Four Brothers live their lives in an enclosed habitat as directed by the silent Rubberman above them. When they disobey, they get shocked.
    This is normal. It always has been.

    When a Brother dies, they learn of death. When he is replaced by someone new, they learn they are replaceable. When the ceiling above the ceiling cracks open, Lenth plans a journey beyond the known universe:

    A third floor.

    Up.

    ---------------------

    I STINK at marketing, and aside from having a website, an FB page, and neglected blog, I've never reached out a ton. I figured it was about time to try this touring stuff for Rubberman. Let me know, it'd be much appreciated.

  16. I would love your services and I am touched that you do this for free! I have a Halloween book which I made into a Rock Opera Dance Musical. I am a musician by profession, but I have always felt comfortable expressing myself in writing. I felt that my Halloween dance musical needed a storyline, so I wrote a book first, then I wrote the music. My book (and musical) are called "Halloween: Henry, Saddara & the Neighborhood". The ebook is available at amazon.com. Thank you from the world - for your spirit of service and passion. To art and life! -Juli (julidraneystudio@gmail.com)

  17. Thank you for promoting Indie authors through your love of books. I'm not sure if you'd be interested in hosting a blog tour for my current release, The Cabin: A Christmas Short Story. It's a holiday fiction story with elements of the paranormal. The Amazon link is located here:
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017OROIG8?*Version*=1&*entries*=0

    Years after a tragedy that left them broken, Tressa and Chris find new hope in the magic of the holiday season. Stranded together after six years apart, they must at once face the tragedy that divided them and find forgiveness. Sprinkled among the heart-breaking memories are moments of pure joy - and isn't that the magic of the holiday season?

    Please let me know if you'd like more information (ashori@typewriterlabs.com).

    All the best,
    Angela Shori

  30. Please consider my book, "Queen Mary's Daughter", being released March 6, 2018. This novel is a masterpiece, written by a great storyteller, one who leads readers into the workings of the hearts of her characters and allows them to explore the conflicts inherent to human nature. Romuald Dzemo for Readers' Favorite
    Award-winning Canadian author announces the release of Queen Mary’s Daughter
    There are so many possibilities that affect the course of history. One change, one small item overlooked, can make a world of difference, not only in a person's life, but in the history and well-being of an entire nation. And then there are those multiple scenarios of what if? What if King James VI of Scotland didn't succeed in amalgamating Scotland with England? Would Scotland have remained free and independent and a nation of its own well into the twenty-first century? And would Scotland, this independent version, make its own decision to join the European Union when its southern neighbor was choosing to pull away? And, what if there was another heir to the Scottish throne?
    In Queen Mary's Daughter (Clean Reads Publisher), author Emily-Jane Hills Orford presents another plausible timeline, one that incorporates both historical fact and fiction with the endless possibilities of time travel.

  31. Please consider my novel "Settling Darkness", which released on September 14, 2018. This sci-fi dystopian novel is the second in a trilogy. Ana Crucinal and Nelson Forrester find themselves even deeper in the fight than they could've ever imagined. The Action, now joined up with Lebabolis again as the Coalition, faces down the mysterious Omegans, an alien race that seems only bent on raiding Earth for one of her last remaining resources. Ana is being tormented by strange telepathic messages, and Nelson feels ever pulled toward Cataclysm, the weapon that could finally turn the tide of the fight.

    But others have their sights on Cataclysm too, and the race is on to get the upper hand and retake control. Will the Coalition get what they need to stop the Omegans? Will Ana learn just who this strange voice is, and just how important she is to restoring order in the world?

  32. Hi there, my name's Cynthia Fridsma and I'd love to do a blog tour for my latest detective/thriller, titled Vanished.


    Synopsis:
    Rose Gibbon’s husband has been missing for two years. Devastated, she sells her home. The next day, local authorities investigate an abandoned car at the intersection of Westland Avenue and Hemenway Street in Boston. All the blood recedes from her face; she knows it’s her husband’s car!

    Meanwhile, Medical Examiner Natalie Principal arrives at the crime scene to inspect a charred body behind the wheel. The victim falls apart when she touches it. Since the car doesn’t show traces of fire, Natalie’s afraid the victim was exposed to a deadly dose of radiation. She informs the ATU—Anti Terrorism Unit—about a possible terrorist threat of a dirty bomb. As the investigation continues, digital footprints are erased, and people vanish into thin air . . . a deadly race to save Natalie’s friends is about to begin.


    Vanished is available on Amazon via URL:
