Testimonials
Here’s what our clients and hosts have to say about JustRead Publicity Tours…
Clients:
Everyone i was in contact with was friendly and helpful. Any question I had was answered. I believe I had all the information I needed. I enjoyed reading comments on the blog posts. I replied when I could but some required a WordPress sign in which I wasn’t able to do. I was amazed at the number of entries. One of my goals was to make more people aware of my book and that was accomplished.

Penny Zeller, Author
It was wonderful. So easy. The feedback from the bloggers was so helpful. I will definitely do this again when my next book comes out. Thank you so much for providing this service.
Janell Goodrich York, Author
This was my first time using JustRead for a book launch, so I went into it with questions about how things worked. My questions were answered quickly and professionally, and the campaign exceeded my expectations. I will definitely partner with JustRead again for my next launch.
It was easy, and the results were great!
Robin Patchen, Author
Everyone was flexible and responsive to questions, even when I thought I needed to change the dates after I’d paid and folks had started signing up. I was very impressed with the number of entries and the number of bloggers who participated.
Kelly Goshorn, Author
Carrie and the rest of the crew did a fabulous job explaining the campaign and how it works. I was very pleased with the results. I had 4206 entries for the giveaway, 94,300 average views! It was a wonderful way to promote my series. I was happy to see the increase in reviews on Amazon and Goodreads.
Tanya Sparks Belvin, Author (2nd campaign)
Each person I worked with was very helpful. It was fun to see the different blogs and read their reviews. I got some new followers, which was helpful. It was a shot in the arm, and it motivated me. It just seems like a very good business with talented people.

I enjoyed the nice mix of reviews, spotlights, and interviews. I loved the variety of blogs as well. I was able to share all the stops along the way throughout the week. Bloggers were very timely in their posts each day as well. I appreciate the spreadsheet of stats! It’s very helpful to have all the links handy. It will allow me to get more use of the posts!
Amy Willoughby Burle, Author
They were super easy to work with, and I was pleasantly surprised at how effective the tour was. I saw my book cover on sites I’d never heard of, being written about by reviewers I’d never met. I think it was very successful.
Robin Patchen, Author
My campaign was handled very professionally by the JustRead administrators.
Cindy K. Stewart, Author
I am really glad I participated in this blog tour. It was fun to read the blogs and encouraging comments from potential readers. It was also a pleasant surprise that I had 8 reviews that came out of it as well. This was great marketing for my book. The staff (Carrie and Beth) were very supportive and encouraging.
Christopher Martin, Author
This company is completely transparent in their pricing, rules for authors and bloggers, expectations, and standards. For each of my tours I have received a contract tailored to my particular event, an invoice for the cost, a receipt for my payment, and a final report filled with analytics about how many bloggers posted, the number of estimated readers reached based on each blogger’s page view history, and other statistics that an indie author/businesswoman such as I am interested in knowing.
June McCrary Jacobs, Author
Great! All of the bloggers did an exceptional job of promoting and giving honest feedback about my book. They left honest reviews in more than one place, which is priceless for authors. I truly appreciate the work JustRead does for their tours and the work their partners do to help promote books! I will come back again and again!
Dawn Ford, author
Every time I get to work with the Just Read team I’m blown away by their professionalism. Their attention to detail. Their expertise in running an effective book launch campaign. With Just Read’s help my book Moms Raising Sons to Be Men ranked #1 New Release and #3 Best Seller. I’m telling all of my author friends and publicists about Just Read. I will never again launch a new book without their help. Just Read is my super power!
Rhonda Stoppe, author
I had a very positive experience with JustRead. The communication and organization was excellent. Deadlines and expectations were communicated clearly and Carrie was always quick to respond to my questions. The blog tour was fantastic. People were very supportive and I was impressed by the variety of blogs, their reach, and the engagement with the contest. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Pamela Hart, author
From start to finish, the communication was excellent. I knew what was happening in each step of the tour. The hosts were wonderful, too, with each sharing honest opinions and spreading the word about my book. I saw a significant increase in newsletter subscribers, BookBub followers, and Instagram followers with this tour as well as shares on social media about the tour and giveaway.
Suzie Waltner, author
I was very pleased with the level of excitement that the bloggers showed for my books. They seemed genuinely happy to share a Christian YA series with their followers, and I thought it was very reasonably priced with a very positive outcome. I am thankful for the opportunity and have already recommended you to one author friend.
M. Liz Boyle, author
Simply the best! I adore working with these awesome ladies!
S.K. Derban, author
Thank you so very much for all your hard work! I had a great experience with the tours! I was blown away by how supportive and kind the ladies were. What an amazing group of people! Thank you for taking care of me during this entire process. It was such a JOY to sit back and let you take care of everything. I had zero worries and concerns the entire time and with all I have going on in my life, this was a HUGE blessing.
Tammy Lash, author
Authors have a variety of marketing options, but this was one of the most effective ones I did during launch. I was very pleased with the response, and the reviews seemed honest and heartfelt.
Ashley Rescot, author
I wanted to send you a colossal thank you for all you did in promoting my book. Holy cow, I was blown away by everything you provided, the high-quality work everyone did, and the amount of people who saw my book thanks to your work. Y’all are amazing!
Donna Mumma, author
Thank you so much for the wonderful blog blitz! I was extremely happy with the service and the bloggers did a fantastic job getting the word out. I could see on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram that they were promoting the book. I will definitely be using your service again and I will recommend it to others.
Lynn Shannon, author
I’m absolutely pumped by the reviews, the burgeoning list of Book Bub followers, and the increased readership for my newsletter. Your work was well worth the price.
Patricia Lee, author
I’ve been impressed with the results I got from both the reviewer tour and the blog tour. My sales went up dramatically when the blog tour started and are still up…. It was money well spent. I will definitely use JustRead for the next book out!
Sherrinda Ketchersid, author
Doing this tour with JustRead has been a great experience. You ladies are well organized and have a far reach on social media. As a new author trying to find the right readers for my book, your tour was exactly what I needed.
Michelle De Bruin, author
I loved my JustRead tour! My debut year was also a focus-on-the-family year. I had to cancel every trip and conference to be home, where I was most needed. Thanks to the tour though, I still managed to meet several new-to-me bloggers and readers. The icing on the cake? I reached 100 Amazon reviews mid-tour thanks to Radiant Light, our last stop.
Patricia Beal, debut author
Working with Carrie and Annie was an absolute delight. I literally did not know where to start when it came to cover reveals and book-release tours and these ladies jumped in and handled everything. The graphics were beautiful, I was thrilled with the blog posts, and most of all, I felt like I had people rooting for me to succeed.
Brandy Bruce, author
Working with Carrie (Reading is My Superpower) and Annie (Just Commonly), was an absolute blast. Choosing them to run a blog tour for my last release was a no-brainer. They have the know-how and consummate professionalism to keep everything running smoothly from start to finish. I barely had to lift a finger! I would highly recommend them for all your publishing/book launch/promotional needs!

Hosts:
What keeps me buzzing about books with JustRead Tours? Everything! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed being part of an exceptional team that has broadened my literary horizons over the years with different genres and new-to-me authors. Not to mention the wonderful community, amazing giveaways, and being able to help shine a light on novels that deserve the spotlight. I feel truly blessed to be a book bee ♥️
I really like how clear the instructions and expectations for each campaign are. It’s great working with you and I’m always impressed with the professionalism. Some of my favorite tours are the bookstagram tours and this year I enjoyed discovering a few new authors.
I love being introduced to new-to-me authors and stories.
I review with JustRead Tours because they have some great fiction that I often can’t find in a review group anywhere else. I love the variety offered! I love that I am free to pick and choose as many or as few tours as I wish to participate in. And of course, all the blog info I need is provided where I can easily access it. I esp. love Danielle Grandinetti’s books, that only are offered here.
Babbling Becky L’s Book Impressions
One thing that keeps me buzzing about books with JustRead is the fact that I love to support authors who write the types of books I read! I know how hard it is for authors to get the “buzz” they need to be successful! I’d hate it if I couldn’t read the types of books we buzz about. Today, more than ever, we need well-written, faith based, clean books to get the buzz they deserve!
JustRead tours my favorite kinds of books! I’m thankful!!!
I always look forward to new campaigns. I cannot count the amount of new authors I have found and loved through this program! I love spreading the word about more clean reads and encouraging authors on their journey!
What an awesome job you did with the HTML, best I’ve ever gotten. Thank you.
Excellent rules and guidelines! JustRead Publicity protects their reviewers and clients from bullying. They provide clear, concise rules for their participants. JustRead Publicity has a clean, minimalistic web design that is aesthetically pleasing and very easy to use. I look forward to watching them grow as a publicity group!

…I’m so grateful to be a @justreadtours host! I’ve only been a host since February [2020], but I’ve already been introduced to some incredible authors and books. I don’t have to worry about questionable content; it’s clean or Christian, which was definitely a selling point for me. The queen bees are so nice and the whole community is genuine.
These #queenbees not only work hard to share great books with the world, they care about their hosts.
Reviews matter and sharing books make a difference – and this bee in the JustRead hive is happy to do both. Thank you, JustRead Tours!
It is always an honor to serve as a host for @justreadtours. I always enjoy discovering new authors through tours and helping promote upcoming books.
I love being one of the hosts and reviewers—it gives me the push I sometimes need to pick up, read, talk about, and hype good books. It is always a pleasure to be a part of a tour, and I look forward to many more!
I’ve been blessed to be part of the JustRead family as a host and it’s been a wonderful experience for me. Not only do I feel these women are my best friends in my head, they are so wonderful to work with and I’ve enjoyed being part of their family.
I’m grateful I joined JustRead. It has introduced me to new-to-me authors whose books I’ve enjoyed and other bloggers and bookstagramers who share my love of books.
Being a JustRead host has been one of the most glorious decisions I made this past year. I get to read books from all my favorite genres and authors.
What way to make reading an even better hobby than by doing it with a like-minded community.
