Testimonials
"I’ve participated in three successful WOW Blog Tours! I know that my hosts will use my books over and over and recruit more Ideal readers to join the Journaling Power Revolution. Thank you WOW!"
~ Mari L. McCarthy, author of Journaling Power, Heal Your Self With Journaling Power, and Mindset Medicine
"The blog tour for my book, from Promising to Published,
was a fantastic experience. Nicole's organization of the tour and
camaraderie during the entire tour were top-notch. To market previous
books, I'd spend countless hours researching blogs and interview
opportunities, most times never hearing back from bloggers, which is
very frustrating. Nicole saved me many hours and ushered me through the
blog tour process in a way that was exciting as it introduced me to
wonderful fellow writers, bloggers, and readers in her network and also
gave me time to focus on sharing about my book, instead of trying to put
together a tour by myself. At every step of the way, Nicole was
friendly and attentive to me and to my book. I would highly recommend a
book-blog tour for authors interested in publicizing their books with a
professional, connected, and kind service. I knew my book tour would be
great, but it's exceeded my expectations. Many thanks!"
~ Melanie Faith, author of From Promising to Published: A Multi-Genre, Insider's Guide to the Publication Process
"I’d never even heard of a book blog tour until my publisher suggested I use one to promote my recently published book. Nicole Pyles patiently answered my many initial questions giving me a good idea of what to expect. During the tour, as other questions arose, she promptly answered my emails so that at every juncture, I always knew how to proceed. When I worried, for example about not receiving a lot of comments, she assuaged my concerns. Throughout the tour, Nicole remained kind and professional, even on one occasion when I snapped at her. In addition to Nicole’s professionalism and constant support, she did a superb job organizing my tour. To launch it, she designed an extremely appealing graphic. She chose a generous group of fourteen talented bloggers many of whom are authors themselves, which certainly showed in their well-crafted reviews and interviews. I received a number of blow-me-out of the water blogs and reviews. Nicole did an excellent job. I highly recommend her."
~ Carolyn Dipasquale, author of Reckless Grace: A Mother’s crash course in Mental Illness
"Taking part in the Women on Writing Blog Tour was a wonderful experience. It introduced me to other writers and their blogs, while also giving me an opportunity to draw the attention of new readers to my books. What I enjoyed most, however, were the interviews and guest blog posts. These made me reflect upon my book and my writing. The WOW blog tour is certainly something I'd like to do again when I release my next book."
~ Helena P. Schrader, author of Moral Fibre
"I wasn't sure which package was best for me. When I asked for help I received it right away. I took the suggestion given and we began. I was first shown the tour before my tour and I was able to see what the tour was like. Nicole kept in touch with me and through her help I was comfortable with the process. Unlike other promotional services, with WOW everything I was promised, I received. I highly recommend and have recommended WOW for blog tours and promotions."
~ Judy Kelly, author of The Attractiveness of Wisdom
"THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR THE WONDERFUL BLOG TOUR! We really appreciate everything you, the bloggers, and your amazing staff did for us. It was so professional and well organized. Thanks again!"
~ M.T. Becker, author of Zinger in the Woods
"I strongly recommend WOW’s blog tours for any woman who wants to promote her book."
~ B. Lynn Goodwin, author of Disrupted
"WOW has got to be the best deal in town for promotion to writers. We are thrilled and plan to pass WOW on as a valued Promotion Resource for our students. Again, we want to express our gratitude for the care and precision you gave to our promotion."
~ Claudine Wolk, author of Get Your Book Seen and Sold
