Eric Bronson - King of Rags
"Touring with the Virtual Book Tour Cafe was a great way to get instant exposure and start building a fan base for my book. BK was an excellent communicator and helped me organize, understand, and contribute to every stop along the tour. Writing and marketing are two very different worlds. BK was a writer first, so she makes it very easy to cross that bridge."
Thanks again for your help!

Gia Volterra de Saulnier - Journey To Jazzland
What I loved about touring with “Journey to Jazzland” is the ability to spread the news about my picture book as well as get more people to know about my book. By simply writing on the blog and networking on Facebook and other social media sites, BK helped me by being there and supporting me. That’s why I love working with the Virtual Book Tour Café and I recommend you do too!

Lakshmi Gosyne - Waiting For Dad: A Yoga Story For Kids
Before touring with the Virtual Book Cafe, I was struggling to market and promote my children's book Waiting for Dad. Within the two months of the Virtual Book Tour, I was able to interact with new readers and get a lot of social media exposure for my book. Now, I have Amazon and Goodreads recommendations and a variety of book reviews which has resulted in more sales for all of my books. I highly recommend working with the Virtual Book Tour Café.

Carol McKibben - Luke's Tale
Before touring with BK Walker and her VBT Cafe, I wanted to find an effective means of viral marketing. Because Luke’s Tale is newly published, I needed a method to get it into lots of hands, so to speak. Why? Because I knew if people read it, they would love it and spread the word. Within two days after my book tour, 2,001 people had downloaded the Kindle version of the book. I’d say that’s an amazing accomplishment. Participants in the VBT Tweeted and Facebooked info about both the tour and the book. My Facebook fan page followers increased by 78 percent, as has my Twitter followers. I highly recommend working with the Virtual Book Tour Café.

Adele Park - Yikes! Another Quirky Audiobook
I am an indie audio book producer who used Virtual Book Tours to promote my latest project, Yikes! Another Quirky Audio Book. BK was very courteous, professional and responsive in the way she handled my account. There were many unexpected surprises that accompanied my tour including a beautiful, full-color media kit assembled by BK. Additionally, all three of the people who won copies of Yikes! posted honest reviews on Amazon.com.

Journey To Malachi - Malachi Stewart
As a first time author, I faced the idea of a virtual book tour with much fear and trepidation. I was deeply concerned about my non-existent following and afraid my efforts to participate in the tour would be in vain.
I can honestly say that B.K Walker's tender handling gave my book an audience that would otherwise never have been exposed to my project. I am completely grateful for the platform the tour has given me and the increase in followers on every social media platform that I have created fro myself.
Excited for my next book, and even more excited for my next virtual book tour!

Kristi Loucks - A Life Interrupted
I spent a lot of time researching a variety of book tours until I found BK. She patiently answered all of my “newbie” questions and made a couple of recommendations regarding the various tours VBT Café offers and I knew that BK an VBT Café were the right choice for me.
Her attention to detail and her ability to multi-task the various tours she has at once are incredible. Throughout the tour, I have worked with a variety of blogs doing interviews, guest posts and more.
What started out as a way to get the word out about my book turned into one of the more interesting experiences I’ve had in a while. I’ve met a ton of new people throughout the tour, found some outstanding blogs to follow, and I’ve even learned a few things about myself through the interview process.
I would highly recommend BK and VBT Café if you are looking for a fun and engaging way to promote yourself and your book(s). I think you’ll find that there is no better person for the task than another author, and BK fits that bill. BK went above and beyond my expectations and was there every step of the way! I will definitely be back when my next book is completed this winter!! Thanks BK and all of the hosts that made my tour successful and more importantly, FUN!

Naomi Rabinowitz - A Band Geek Gone Bad
I had such a great time doing the blog tour which BK arranged for my book REVENGE OF A BAND GEEK GONE BAD. She has many connections, so she was able to connect me with a variety of blogs from around the world. She also made sure that my book was featured in a variety of ways from reviews to excerpts to guest blog posts. Though BK is obviously a very busy woman, she gave me her full attention and promptly got back to me with any questions or concerns. I enjoyed working with her, as well as the bloggers whom I met on my tour, and look forward to using VBT Cafe for my next book.

Debra Chapoton - Edge of Escape
B K Walker set up a virtual book tour for my book, Edge of Escape. I had great fun guest posting and doing interviews and I was able to plug my other books and my blogsite, http://www.edgeofescape.blogspot.com , as well. Was it just a coincidence that during the month long tour I was approached and offered a book deal by a major publisher? Who knows, but I'll be back when my next book is ready to take a tour!

Robyn Bradley - Forgotten April
I’m one of those writers who believes in outsourcing marketing tasks so that I have plenty of time to focus on my writing. So finding someone to set up a virtual book tour for me was important. Not only did I find someone, I found a GREAT someone: BK Walker understands authors’ needs (because she is one herself), she has a good sense of marketing, and she has many blog connections, which will help your tour shine. She created the perfect package for me: a mixture of guest posts, blog interviews, a radio appearance, and giveaways—and all for one economical price that will likely work for most writers’ budgets. I highly recommend BK Walker and her Virtual Book Tour Café. ~Robyn Bradley www.robynbradley.com
G.A. Hauser - Of Wolves and Men
I have had the pleasure of participating in a Virtual Blog Tour with BK and I have to say I enjoyed every minute of it. The blogs were varied and offered not only good exposure for my novels, but a great chance to meet new people. If you are looking for a wonderful way to share news about your work, contact BK.

Julius Thompson - Ghost of Atlanta
When Ghost of Atlanta was published in early January 2011 my publisher, Passionate Writer Publishing, told me that I would going on a Virtual Book Tour. My first response was an audible "What?" I didn't have a clue, so I did some research and realized for six weeks I would be promoting my book with blogs, interviews and a stint on a blog talk radio. show. The task seemed formidable!
I put together a three-ring binder with sections for deadlines and information that I would need to make this successful. I did some promotion of the virtual book tour on facebook, twitter and my own website.
For six weeks BK Walker & The Virtual Book Tour Cafe Hosts guided me on a tour that was fascinating and gave me an opportunity to learn more about my books, my philosophy and a chance to articulate my thoughts on my novels.
They were fantastic!
They guided me through the whole process with compassion, direction and never let me fall at any point. They were very, very professional. The highlight for me was the radio intrview with BK Walker. I'm still receiving compliments on her questions and the answers it brought out about my books, my future writing goals and my philosophy.
Thank you! Thank You! Thank You!
I've finished the first draft of Purple Phantoms and I can't wait to go my next Virtual book tour when my fourth novel is published!
