How Publishers Can Create a Virtual Book Tour

By Dianna Dilworth 

Looking for ways to promote your books without leaving the office? Shindig has Virtual Book Tour Platform that allows publishers to promote a book to by hosting virtual bookstore events with authors or people from your publishing team.

The platform allows hundreds of people to video chat in a virtual bookstore. As they would in a real book store setting, readers can interact with the authors who are featured and ask questions to a live group. There is even an e-commerce feature so that readers can buy the book from the event.

Bloomsbury Press recently hosted a Shindig event to promote some new titles to book bloggers. We’ve embedded a video demo from the Bloomsbury event above.
