Welcome!
Whether you’re an author or a publisher, you want your book in readers’ hands!
At JustRead Publicity Tours, LLC, our aim is to organize a campaign that best meets your promotional goals. Our campaigns are hosted by passionate, positive, and enthusiastic readers who are “buzzing about books” through blogs, reviews, and social media platforms.
Hosts are essential volunteers and talented influencers eager to spread the word about Christian and/or sweet-read titles (wholesome, clean, closed-door, etc.). We have various 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 increase your book’s exposure and readership. If you don’t find what you want within our services, we’re happy to provide custom quotes. For best results, we recommend scheduling at least 3-6 months in advance.
If you want to schedule a promotional campaign, please review our services and complete our campaign inquiry form.

General Information
JustRead Publicity Tours, LLC (aka JustRead) provides fully organized campaign sign-ups, marketing, host selection, giveaway entries/winner selection where applicable, and follow-up with each host’s stop. A launch post will be published on JustRead’s website or our social media platforms.
Clients, please be prepared to provide:
- Book Information: high-resolution cover image, synopsis, publisher, release date, genre, author bio, author image
- Special content: excerpts, guest posts, interview responses…etc.

Note: While we always encourage our hosts to review books received, some campaigns do not require the hosts to review the book by a specific date or include our collection of direct review links. Those campaigns are marked as “no review collection” below. Hosts may or may not choose to share reviews on those campaigns.
