Review Only Tour Application

Please send the following information in order to schedule a tour.

(IMPORTANT NOTE: we do not organize review tours for non-fiction or poetry). Additionally, books longer than 400 pages will not be accepted for review only tour.

There are a limited number of review tours booked each month. Your start date will be based on availability. We will book you as early as possible, but do not guarantee a start date eight weeks from submission and payment. We strongly recommend booking your tour as far in advance as possible.

Prior to booking your tour, it is important that you read the document here that includes our policy/contract: http://www.goddessfish.com/services/virtual-book-tours/what-you-can-expectour-policy/ For more information about our tour packages, see our website, here: http://www.goddessfish.com/services/virtual-book-tours/

I have read and agree to the information contained in the Policy/Contract and I understand the tour will be at least four (4) stops over four (4) weeks*

Yes

Your name*

Your email address (all correspondence will go to this email)*

NOTE: In order to have access to our best tour hosts (who book their blogs well in advance) and to have the most successful tour possible, we require this tour be booked and paid for eight weeks in advance of your start date. NOTE: NO DISCOUNTS OR COUPONS MAY BE APPLIED TO REVIEW ONLY TOURS.

At least four (4) stops over four (4) weeks - $75

NOTE: This tour will include at least 4 stops over four weeks. While more reviews are possible, more than 4 reviews are not guaranteed. Additionally, the maximum number that will be booked on this tour is 8.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Submission to a reviews site does not guarantee a positive review. We will, however, make certain that the potential reviewer is sincerely interested in receiving your story. If the reviewer doesn't like your book, we ask that only a promo post be put up that date (instead of a negative review) and the stop will count toward the 4 - 8 reviews for this tour. We consider three stars and above as acceptable to post during a tour. Additionally, we will not restrict a blogger's right to crosspost any review, regardless of rating, on book sites once the tour has ended.

Please make certain your book is completely and professionally edited prior to submitting it for review as poor editing may affect the rating hosts give on their reviews.

Please check the box below to agree to these terms.

I understand and agree to the above statement*

Preferred start date if it’s further than eight weeks out (otherwise, it’ll be earliest available)*

Author Name*

Book Title*

Important note: we will not run a review tour for sequels or books that are part of a series (with the exception of book one) unless they stand alone strongly as this will affect our ability to fill your tour, and will likely affect the rating our hosts give the books on their reviews. We want to set you up to succeed!

Is this book a sequel or part of a series (and not book one)?*

YesNo

If yes, does this stand alone well (i.e. can this book be read, understood and easily enjoyed by a reader who hasn't read other books in the series)?

YesNo

For a review only tour, we require review copies of the book. These may include:

PDF, ePub and/or Mobi copies of the book, Smashwords coupons for free downloads, a BookFunnel link for download, NetGalley preapproved widget, or print copies (Note: it is the responsibility of the author to mail print review copies to potential reviewer and all shipping costs will be the author's)

Smashwords coupon for free download of your book (please include the expiration date)

Book Funnel Link

Preapproved NetGalley widget URL (MUST be preapproved)

Print copies (I understand the responsibility and cost of mailing print copies is mine)

Below, please choose what you will be using for the giveaway for your prize(s).

You do not need a prize for each tour stop; however you do need one grand prize for a randomly chosen rafflecopter winner during the course of the tour. (NOTE: the reason behind the prize is to drive traffic--i.e. potential readers--to your tour posts. We’ve found that offering books as giveaway is less a draw than it used to be, due to the vast number of free books now available at vendors like Amazon. We recommend you use a different prize, because using a book as a prize may negatively impact the number of visits and/or comments during your tour). If you choose to award a host prize (and this is not required), we ask that it be awarded randomly as well, and not as a prize for the most comments.

NOTE: You are responsible for issuance of this prize at the conclusion of your tour. We will create a Rafflecopter for your tour giveaway, draw the rafflecopter winner(s) as well as the host winner(s) and send you the contact information at the end of your tour so you can issue the prize(s) immediately.

I would like to offer the following Amazon or Barnes and Noble GC to one randomly selected winner during the tour*

We strongly recommend you offer a host prize for a review only tour. This type of tour requires a significant time investment for the host and you're more likely to get a larger number of reviews if you offer them the chance to win a prize for their time.
