A book tour is a series of promotional events where an author travels to various locations to promote their newly published book. These events can include readings, signings, and discussions, allowing authors to connect with readers and share insights about their work. Book tours often take place in bookstores, libraries, and literary festivals. During a book tour, authors may also engage with the media through interviews and appearances on talk shows or podcasts. This helps to increase visibility and sales for the book. Successful book tours can significantly enhance an author's reputation and reach within the literary community.
