Recent Reads. Rachel Cotterill: Picturesque Toll Bridges in Wales. Two of my favourite bridges in Snowdonia were old toll bridges, charging a few pennies a time for the privilege of taking a shortcut across a river instead of having to drive around. It's always a slight surprise to me, in modern Britain, that these little private bridges endure. The prices aren't high, and a toll bridge needs an operator to collect the charges, whose wages must be offset against any profits (although one of these two was actually unattended when we visited, the toll booth closed for the off season, and therefore we could cross for free). But they must make enough money to remain viable, and so we have the pleasure of driving across tiny, slightly rickety, single-track bridges.

Pump Up Your Book! Publicity blog. An interesting discussion emerged on Colleen Mondor’s blog Chasing Ray a couple days ago about the blog book tour and in particular who schedules them and how they are set up.
I caught the tail end of the discussion on Twitter. Blog tours aren’t new — this New York Times article from a couple years back explores one author’s blog tour experience – and sites like Blog Book Tours or this post at The Dabbling Mum contain some excellent information about what exactly a blog tour is. But beyond that, I thought it might be useful to look at how blog tours are set up and how they differ from online publicity in general.
First, the basics: for those of you who attended the book blogger panel at BEA, you will have heard the blog tour explained as an author going from blog to blog (rather than from store to store as they would on a traditional book tour) which is a great, quick way to explain it. Here’s some more information about blog tours. How do blog tours get set up? What’s in it for bloggers? Plan virtual Book Tour.

Emma Right posted on August 10, 2013 20:17 Since I published Keeper of Reign Book 1 this May (2013) my learning curve for book publishing and online book marketing has been about as steep as the Cliffs of Dover.
Keeper of reign, which is a YA/MG adventure fantasy has been an Amazon best-seller, so my online promotions can't be that ineffective. Below are my findings and I hope some newbie self-published author finds this information beneficial.
