Virtual Book Tour Process

Hosting Renee for this book tour is all about a conversation between people, albeit on a technology platform - geeky but intimate at the same time. As Renee said, she is keenly sensitive to respecting your own voice, given how central that has been to her own story.

Towards that end, here are some suggestions:

* Spend some time praying & thinking about how best this conversation could be integrated in your blog - then bounce an email to Renee to "talk thru" your ideas.

* Once you settled on an idea, it would be best to have any writing or work with Renee done by the end of August. This make sure there is plenty of time to reflect and correct, before the Virtual Book Tour actually begins. It will also help timing-wise with Renee, who has a big Sept. work-wise.

* In the week before your date to host Renee, it may make sense to let the readers of your blog know that you'll be hosting the blog tour at the assigned day.

* On the day you "host" Renee it would be great if you could post links to the 2-3 "stops" on the tour before you & the 2-3 "stops" that come after you on the tour - the calendar is here.

* It probably goes without saying, but it would be wonderful if you had the chance to visit other stops on the Tour, commenting wherever or whenever you felt the energy to.

What other ideas or suggestions do folks have ?

here's some generic info:

i need snail mail addresses for folks who haven't yet mailed them.

i will be putting the blog tour on the stumbling toward faith site, and linking to each post as it happens....

september 23-27 i will be inaccessible, so those days definitely need to be planned out ahead of time.

thanks to all of you! i love you -- and bob, you are amazing, thank you so much for your belief in this.

Hi

I've had a lot of trouble accessing the links you sent me Bob, was only able to get through once. Anyway, here I am. Last I saw the schedule BDBO up for today, so I posted as best I could.
I let Renee know via her blog I thought today was her day.
I wish you and the book well. Blog on!
