Welcome!
Whether you’re an author or a publisher, you want your book in readers’ hands!
Our aim at JustRead Publicity Tours, LLC is to organize a campaign to best meet your promotional goals. JustRead’s campaigns are hosted by passionate, positive, and enthusiastic readers buzzing about books through blog, review, and social media platforms.
Hosts are our essential volunteers, talented influencers who are eager to spread the word about Christian and/or sweet-read titles (aka wholesome, clean, closed-door, etc.). We have a wide variety of campaigns available, ranging from conventional blog tours and review collections to focused exposure on social media platforms.
With creativity and dedication, JustRead will work with you to help increase your book’s exposure and increase your readership. We’re happy to provide custom quotes if you don’t find what you’re looking for within our services. For best results, we recommend scheduling 6-9 months in advance.
If you’re interested in organizing a promotional campaign, please review our services and complete our campaign inquiry form.
