The World of Ink Tour - Learn More Today!

You’ll find our World of Ink Tour is the perfect way to get your books, products or services out in front of the buying public and build your platform as a writer, illustrator or expect in your field.

Our target market comes naturally to us because children, parents and teachers are logging onto the computer daily looking for a safe entertainment. Because of this, SFC Publishing has registered with sites such as: Family Friendly Sites, KidZui and MasterMoz to name a few who drive traffic to our various divisions (sites) on a monthly bases.

We also understand working within a tight budget. VS Grenier started SFC Publishing with the money she made as a freelance author. She understands many authors and illustrators do not have big marketing budgets, so that is why SFC Publishing has developed an affordable way for authors and illustrators be a part of the monthly World of Ink Tour. You already know us for our book reviews and our monthly Featured Guest interviews, but that is only the beginning with the World of Ink Tour!

So you know what to expect the whole month from your World of Ink Tour, here are the details:

The World of Ink Tour is a virtual author/book tour and is very similar to a in person author tour, except you can show up in your P.J’s and not worry about how you look. You also can reach a bigger audience outside your local area and your tour stops in many cases will be online forever. Giving you back links to your sites and helping to drive traffic indefinitely.

As part of your World of Ink Tour, you will be asked to answer interviews, write guest posts and send your book(s) for review. We wish all you had to do was sit back and let us do all the work, but there are many preparations you’ll be a part of before tour starts. We ask that you be creative and to send any requested information in a timely manner.

If you have printed book(s), please be prepared to have at least 6 books available to send for review. At least one will be sent to an SFC reviewer and the others may be requested by blog hosts. (Some hosts are fine with reviewing eBooks as well.)

You may also want to have a book blurb or excerpt of your book handy that we can combine with your guest posts. An example of this can be found at http://familiesmatter2us.blogspot.com/2010/11/little-shepherd-blog-... or http://thewritingmama.blogspot.com/2010/11/back-story-of-no-justice....
