About

My name is Samantha March, and I run the website ChickLitPlus.com. I have been blogging about books for over two years, and got the idea to coordinate blog tours for authors after participating in many myself. From my time blogging, I have made great connections and friendships with authors and fellow book bloggers. I am taking my love for organizing, internet, and of course- reading- and putting that to work with my tours. CLP Blog Tours has been running for over two years and I have taken on over one hundred authors. I work with both traditionally published authors and self-published. I am not some big company that will charge you hundreds of dollars- I am one woman who loves doing what I do, and that is getting publicity for you. You will get your own tour page on this site, as well as publicity on ChickLitPlus and my social networking pages. If you are an author and are interested in setting up a tour, please email me at Samantha(at)chicklitplus.com. Please let me know the title of your book and the genre, as that will help me begin to pull bloggers from my database. I will work with almost any genre (excluding erotica, non-fiction, and historical fiction), as long as I feel confident I have the bloggers to host you. Blog tours are a great, easy way for you to find more publicity for your novel, and to make virtual relationships with bloggers and readers.

Authors please note that bloggers signed up with CLP Blog Tours are not employees nor are they paid for their posts. It is my job to try to ensure all bloggers post timely for their tours, but I cannot be held responsible if they do not fulfill their agreement, and backup plans will be formed in that event.

Terms and Conditions for all services can be found at Chick Lit Plus

Blog Tour Information:



A blog tour (or virtual tour) is basically having your book reviewed and/or you and the book featured on a series of websites throughout a specific time frame. What I do is contact book bloggers and pitch the book you want to tour with, and gain their interest in hosting you. I have a database filled with bloggers, what genres they take, if they are taking new requests, etc, so you don’t have to spend the time finding bloggers and contacting them yourself. I have been blogging for over three years, coordinating these tours for over two, and have a relationship with all the bloggers on my lists, so they know me and are comfortable with my work. With my tours, I guarantee you will be booked for 7 blogs, with a mixture of reviews, guest posts, interviews, excerpts, and giveaways. You will be responsible for sending the books out to the bloggers – these can be print books or eBooks and the most popular formats are PDF, mobi (Kindle) or ePub - they will read and post their reviews on a pre-scheduled day. Bloggers that participate in CLP Blog Tours are encouraged to also post reviews on sites such as Amazon and GoodReads, but please note this is not a requirement. 

Bloggers are able to sign up for a review, guest post, interview or book excerpt for a tour. If you would not like any of these included, please let me know before your sign up post is running, and they can be excluded. Authors are responsible for answering interview questions, writing unique guest posts (topics are supplied) and providing book excerpts for those requesting these extras. 

Please note: you must have a synopsis and cover art image for me to run on a sign-up post. Also, it is advised you have a release date already scheduled and books ready to hand out to bloggers at least two months before you tour begins. 

 Once I have all the bloggers in place, I set up a calendar for you with the dates and blogs you will be featured on throughout your tour. Tours generally run for a two week period, though this can vary depending on your package. I keep in touch with bloggers making sure they received the books you sent, send reminders to them when their dates are approaching, and help spread the word through social media and with my own newsletters. 

On CLP Blog Tours you will get your own tour page, which will list your tour date and stops, and once you go on tour and bloggers start posting their reviews, I will link them to your tour page. I also post about the reviews on Chick Lit Plus, and have your book be the featured book at times leading up and during your tour. I also will provide a tour button that bloggers can grab and put on their site to help promote the tour as well. Tour buttons are included in all packages.
