Mid-Year Virtual Book Tour 2026
A curated literary experience connecting remarkable books with engaged readers.

Authors leave with genuine reader engagement and promotional material that keeps working long after the session ends.
What a selected author receives
Live virtual author Q and A
A hosted Zoom session where you answer reader questions directly and share the story behind the book.
A dedicated book page
Your title receives its own page on the Society site with synopsis, themes, and a reader sign up.
Lasting promotional resources
Session recording, author introduction poster, quote cards, and reader reflections you can keep using after the tour.
