We gave it our best
As the only person who put this site together, I did my best keeping up with all of the authors on the site. While my own career got a boost, it meant my spare time had to be put on my own writing. I enjoyed putting this site together to give other authors like me a good chance and a fair chance at being seen. As much as I enjoyed it, I couldn't keep up. It pains me to put this site on hold and I hope that I can return to give this site the attention it deserves. That's why I'm not closing the site. And that is also why I want to continue sharing these beautiful authors in my author newsletter. My newsletter will reach more potentital readers than the one through BookTour. So, interviews and spotlights will be shared through it. If I become bigger and don't need to depend on marketing, I will return to this site or maybe something better. Until then, I hope that having this site open will continue to give everyone a fighting chance. I gave it my best.
The Founder of BookTour
Amber Grosjean founded BookTour with the hope of helping other Indie Authors like herself. When she began writing, she didn't understand the Writing World and how hard it would be to put a book in someone's hand. She learned through trial and error, just like any other author. She was even published through the traditional means, learning a lot from the editors and publishers. Amber decided to take the route of Indie Publishing to gain control over the prices of her books, how the books were designed, and more. She never regretted her decision but learned it would be a bigger challenge to gain readers. Why? She was unheard of in a world of big-name authors competing for the light.
​
Authors shouldn't have to compete with each other to gain your attention. We should be writing, creating worlds you can become lost in. Another author approached Amber with the idea of creating a blog that would help other authors. Amber took it a step further by creating this website. Instead of charging authors to be placed on the site, she decided that everyone included would simply share the link for the site, giving everyone on the site an opportunity to be seen by readers across the world. Hence the name.
