And event listings are always free, by submitting your details two weeks in advance.

 

SPONSORED BOOK REVIEWS

​

 

Yes, our editors and contributors review the top Texas titles and authors—but with so much great activity in a big state, we'll reach only a fraction of them. If you need a professionally written review to reach Texas readers and booksellers—timed with your launch—consider our publisher-supported review service. Reviews@lonestarliterary.com

LONE STAR BOOK BLOG TOURS

​

Virtual visits connecting audiences with the Texas authors and books they love

 

Readers are passionate about their books, and nowhere are they more passionate than in the blogosphere. Thousands of readers write, report, and promote as book bloggers, helping build buzz for the books they love in various genres and geographies.

 

But not all book bloggers — or blog tours — are created equal.

 

Random bloggers without specific interests in your market can't always deliver the targeted audience you’re looking for in a carefully timed campaign. And approaching individual bloggers can be time-consuming for a publicist, without any guarantee of success.

 

Lone Star Literary Life has combed the state to build a team of the best Texas-based book bloggers, representing a vetted cross-section of interests. Lone Star Book Blog Tours offer publicists and authors a one-call, one-buy approach to marketing Texas books to Texas readers and industry influencers.

 

Advantages of making a Lone Star Book Blog Tour part of your marketing mix:

We’re Texas-centric, Texas- curated. We promote Texas-related and Texas-authored titles in identified genres: fiction, nonfiction, memoir, young readers; sub-genres can also be identified.

We’re agile in scheduling, enabling swift deployment when you need it. Every level of blog tour includes a dedicated author page, with downloadable promotional resources and links accessible to bloggers and buyers alike. This page persists beyond the end of the tour as a valuable asset to author and publicist. Our pricing structure is attractive to a wide range of budgets.

 

 

LONE STAR LITERARY recognizes that advertising is valuable information to our readers. If you’d like to promote your book, imprint, bookstore, event, book-related service, or literary destination, contact us. (Note that, as a part of our Texcentric mission, we accept only advertising with a Texas connection—ensuring that we reach the right audience for the lowest cost.)

You’ll be amazed at how affordable our statewide website can be. For our rate sheet/media kit, contact us at ads@lonestarliterary.com

 

Make sure your Texas book gets reviewed and noticed by our growing audience of dedicated followers!
