EMAIL UPDATES
It is my intention to send you a reminder a week before your day to post. I will also send a follow-up email and feedback survey to you at the conclusion of the tour.
BLOG TOUR OPTIONS
As a part of the blog tour, you have a three options of how to participate.
OPTION ONE (recommended): WRITING PROMPT AND CONTEST
You and your blog readers can participate in a special contest related to Beach Dreams (prize: a beach bag filled with a few goodies) by posting a response to the following prompt: How has God used a mistake you made - big or small - for his purposes? The example may be serious or funny, complex or simple, and you may or may not have realized he was even using it at the time it occurred. Tell your story, reference that you are participating in this tour, encourage your readers to play along, and link to Trish’s book on Amazon. We’ll have a Mr. Linky up on http://blogtourspot.com for you to add your post and read the other entries. All entries must be received by 5pm CST on August 22. Trish will judge the entries and declare her favorite.
OPTION TWO (recommended): PERSONAL INTERVIEW AND/OR REVIEW
Post a personal interview with Trish and/or a review of Beach Dreams. Include a link to her website and a link to buy her book on Amazon. Please use the links provided below. Submit your questions (up to FIVE) by AUG 4TH.
OPTION THREE: CANNED INTERVIEW and MEDIA RELEASE
Post one of the canned interviews (or a combination of them, if you prefer) with Trish on your website. You can also cut and paste text from the media release about her book. We highly recommend personalizing the post in some way so that the tour does not become rote. This may include adding your own commentary or experience, combining various questions from the interviews, or posting only part of the canned interview.
