Build Buzz, Gain Exposure & Connect with Readers—All Without Leaving Home
What Is a Virtual Book Tour?
Think of it like a traditional book tour—but entirely online. Instead of visiting bookstores, radio stations or libraries, your book “tours” the internet through blog posts, interviews, social shares, and online buzz. Best of all? Unlike an in-person tour, your virtual appearances stay online forever, continuing to promote your book long after the tour begins.
Here’s What You Get:
- Two guaranteed blog appearances on high-traffic publishing blogs: SelfPublishingNews.com and SelfPublishingAdvisor.com
- Automatic promotion to over 60,000 combined followers on Facebook and X
- A Virtual Book Tour ToolKit with everything you need to keep the momentum going
- A complimentary digital clipping service that notifies you when your book is mentioned online
- The opportunity to engage directly with bloggers and readers through comments and shares
These initial appearances act as a springboard—bloggers, reviewers and influencers may reach out for interviews, reviews and social media collaborations based on your tour content.
Why Authors Love Virtual Book Tours
"The Virtual Book Tour has really helped—putting my book out there on other readers' blogs increases exposure. I’ve already sent my second novel to Outskirts Press!"— Kelli Sue Landon
Why Go Virtual?
- More reach, less expense. A single blog post can reach thousands of readers compared to a few dozen bookstore visitors.
- Interviews on your terms. Receive questions in advance and craft thoughtful answers—including links, media or book trailers.
- Content that keeps working. Blog features and author interviews remain online and discoverable long after they’re posted.
- Shareability. Easily post your blog appearances to your own social media channels to build buzz and engagement.
Keep the Tour Going
Your Virtual Book Tour ToolKit includes everything you need to continue reaching out to bloggers, websites and influencers. Many authors use it to expand their tour long after the initial appearances—turning this small investment into a long-term marketing strategy.

author of Avoiding Self Imposed Adversities
From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

Bridget, as well as the entire Outskirts Press team working with me, are exceptional. They held my hand through the entire process in addition to providing me with welcomed support and encouragement. I am looking forward to our next project together. I have recommended Outskirts Press to several freelance authors in my area. Thank you for making a potentially hectic journey so enjoyable and so satisfying.

I was very happy with my author rep's responses to me. She did a superb job of answering my questions and helping me through the editing process. She was always available when I needed her. I'm delighted with the outcome--my book looks good and it's selling! Thank you.

author of Children: My Heritage - A Testimony
The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.

author of The Art of Being a School Counselor
Outskirts Press has perfected the art of self-publishing. Their process is simple and seamless with everything happening in a timely manner, giving authors complete control over how their book will appear inside and out. And the people there are fantastic. They’re friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, patient and quick to reply to emails. What more can an author ask?
Needless to say, I’ve found a home here at Outskirts Press.

Outskirts Press changed my life for the better. They turned my adoption memoir into a book that is not only beautiful to look at, it is pleasurable to read, easy to purchase online, and in less than a month already has had a profound impact on many people. A truly amazing company with a heart. Deepest gratitude!
