I am currently looking for some authors who have books coming out next year and would like me to organize a blog tour. I not only gather up bloggers for your specific genre but I will make a banner, and send out a online press release about your book and the blog tour. Please contact me at

I am also helping new authors in a variety of different ways, to help promote your…

Where did this guy come from? My publisher has been nagging me about press releases. So, we got creative.
