Description:

Book tours and public readings are an important part of any newly published book's promotion and marketing. But not all authors are able to travel, due to time, money, or health constraints. This book will teach you how to create a virtual book tour with podcasting -- a series of simulated public readings which are recorded and then published to the internet as podcasts for all the world to hear. You'll learn how to plan your "tour" and script your readings, how to find the sound effects that add to your ambiance, how to put all the pieces together with free audio editing software, how to publish your audio as a podcast, and how to promote it for all the world to hear. With podcasting, the great new way to publish audio and reach subscribers with repeat performances, you can create your very own virtual book tour, on your own time, on your own terms, all from the comfort and convenience of your own home computer.
