Blogger Sign-Ups for the 2013 Summer Author Promo Blitz

Here’s a fantastic opportunity for all my lovely blogger friends!  Who wants to have a TON of summer fun in July?  I know I do!  The other day, I was brainstorming ideas for some sort of huge, fun, summertime blowout and came up with an idea.  I says to myself, I says, “Belle, let’s organize a summer blog tour to promote some of your favorite authors and author friends.”  I nodded in agreement and replied, “Urmegur, Belle!  You’re brilliant!  Has anyone ever told you that?  And glamorous, too, and …” 

Ahem, sorry about that, I got a little sidetracked.  Back to the story…

So, I contacted my friend Tabatha at Montgomery County Book Festival to see what she thought.  She messaged some of her author friends to query their interest. Meanwhile, I messaged some of my author friends on Facebook to see if they were interested.  While all of that was going on, LB and I took a stroll down to Compicpalooza and met ourselves a whole bunch of new authors.  The idea spread like wildfire!

Well, one thing led to another, and what started as a small summer promo blitz turned into something GIGANTIC!  Peeps & Peepettes, we’ve got 30+, actually near 40 at the time I’m writing this post, and that list may keep growing for a few more days.  I began panicking, chewing my nails, walking around like a zombie, and talking to myself (more than normal).  How was I going to put this thing together?  I needed professional help— and not the kind you’re thinking!  So I did the only thing I could.

I contacted Kerry-Ann at Dilly Dally PR to see if she wanted to help a girl out.  I mean, she’s redheaded, I’m redheaded.  That should account for something, right?  Well, it did!  So, now we’ve got a blog tour host on the team!  Mission accomplished.

What sorts of things do we have up our proverbial book-worm-sleeves?  Be prepared for GIVEAWAYS that would make any book-nerd drool, interviews, guest posts, character interviews, a FUN scavenger hunt, Twitter parties, Facebook events, etc.

Also, not only do we have FANTASTIC authors spanning the genres, we’ve also got the wonderful Pam Stack of Authors on the Air who will be interviewing our authors on her radio show!

So, if you’re up for being the one of the first bloggers to participate in the first annual Summer Author Promo Blitz, now’s the time to sign up!

But, before you sign up, please read these very boring, but necessary, terms and conditions statement:

We've got 30+ authors signed up for the 2013 Summer Author Promo Blitz.  Many of them are NY Times Best Sellers!  Kerry-Ann @ Dilly Dally PR, Tabatha @ Montgomery County Book Festival, and I have teamed up to present the most awesome summer author blitz ever!   If you're up for a month-long summer party of author interviews, giveaways, scavenger hunts, and more, then fill in this form and join in the fun!

Having said all of that, PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP IF THERE'S A CHANCE YOU WON'T POST YOUR ASSIGNED BLOG POST.  We need 100% guaranteed participation, so please do not sign up for this on a whim.  Also, please know that whomever drops the ball and does not post on their assigned date will be removed from participating in future Summer Author Promo Blitzes and may even miss out on some giveaways exclusively for participating bloggers.

Now that we have the official rules out of the way: Welcome!!!!  Let's have some fun!

  2. Question: Will blogs be posting daily, or weekly, or any other number? I'm just wondering if this will be daily activity all month or not. Thanks!

    1. Hi, Jenny!
      It will work like a blog tour, with most blogs posting only once during the tour. However, if a blogger wishes to participate in more than one post, we're totally open to that, as well. :-)
      I hope I answered your question...
      Let me know if I didn't. :-)
      Thanks so much!
