Feedback from previous clients:

Working with Tina on my blog tour was an experience I wouldn’t mind repeating. She was competent, professional, organized, and right on with all her ideas. And she made sure to keep me “in the loop” the whole time. During the tour, my website and blog hits jumped significantly, I had several people email me and tell me they purchased my book as a result of the tour, and my newsletter subscriber base grew. I consider all that a successful blog tour!

I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Tina again on any project. She is great with organization, details and follow-up. Having a new book release and a proposal to write, it was a huge weight off my shoulders to have Tina spear-head my blog tour. She did an amazing job and took all the work and stress off of me. I’ll definitely hire her for my next blog tour.

Tina’s blog tours are fun, innovative, effective, and easy-to-implement. She has a great system in place to make a tour beneficial both to the host and the author. I always recommend Tina to my blog-tour-needy author friends.
