Additional
Information
Giveaway:
Giveaways are optional. However, I recommend doing a giveaway because
it leads to more views and exposure. You can do a tour-wide giveaway or a
giveaway on each stop. You choose the prize you would like to giveaway, this is your
tour!
En Pointe Author Services is not responsible for the
giveaway, the author is responsible for buying the prizes and distributing the
prizes to the winners.
Reviews:
If you choose to add a review to your tour/blitz, please
send ARC’s or your published book atleast 6 weeks before your tour date, to
allow bloggers the chance to read and review your book.
I will then send the ARC’s or published books to the
bloggers
Formats accepted: mobi, epub and pdf.
Negative
reviews:
I can’t guarantee that everyone will enjoy your
book. If a blogger gives your book a 1 or 2 star rating, I will ask them to
refrain from posting their review during the tour and send them a promo post
instead or they have the option to drop out of the tour. They can post their
review outside of the tour. Both positive and negative reviews will be posted
as an honest review is being asked.
Tour
Materials:
Are emailed to bloggers astleast 5 - 7 Days.
Tour materials include the following: Personal Tour
Banner, Book Photo, Book Blurb/Synopsis, Excerpt, Buy Links, Author Photo,
Author Bio, Author Social Media Links, any additional materials pertaining to
your particular tour.
Reminder
Emails for Bloggers:
A reminder email is sent out to all bloggers signed
up for your tour 3 days prior to the start of the tour.
Missed
Stops:
If a blogger misses their stop, an email is sent out
to remind them to please post by the end of the day. If a blogger misses 3
stops and no communication, they will no longer be allowed to host for En
Pointe Author Services.
En Pointe Author Services is not responsible for a
tour host not posting on their date. We will do our best to find another host
for any missed stops.
Missed
Reviews:
We cannot guarantee that a blogger posts a review,
they are asked to post reviews on their blog and also additional review sites
(i.e. Amazon, Goodreads etc).
Posting
Times:
En Pointe Author Services asks that the posts be up no
later than 8AM (ET), which is when I will check on ALL the tour stops for that
particular date! You will receive an
email from me stating any delays or changes to the schedule, after the host has been
contacted.
Book
Your Tour in Advance:
Keep in mind that it works best to start planning
your blog tour at least 4 weeks in advance. Usually the shorter the time frame
to plan your tour, the less people will sign up. Cover reveals, sale blitzes,
release and book blitzes can be done on short notice.
Exclusiveness:
I would advice you to not book any tours or similar events at the same time by
multiple tour organizers as that can reduce the effect of both events.
Invoices
and Payment:
I accept payments through PayPal and personal check.
Invoices will be sent through paypal. Invoices will
be sent 3 days prior to the start of the tour date. Please pay the invoice
within 2 weeks.
Right
to decline:
I reserve the right to decline tours or cancel with
full refund, for any reason.
Cancellation
Policy:
Cover Reveals, Sale/Book Blitzes, Blog Tours/Review
opportunities can’t be cancelled once the sign-up form is live on my site. If
for some reason there is no other option but to cancel, you will have to pay
50% of the full price to compensate for the work already done.
Notification
of Changes:
This goes both way, I will notify you immediately of
any changes and I ask that you do the same.
Need
Something Not Mentioned:
Need something that is not mentioned? I am very flexible and want to
organize a tour that best fits your needs! Just ask me and we’ll work on it
together! Extra costs may apply.
If
you chose En Pointe Author Services to host your event, we ask the following of
our client:

media site.
