Well hello 2008, whatcha knowin? We were greeted this new year by a big wet kiss from Silicon Valley info-funnel Valleywag.
...one of those why-didn't-I-think-of-that sites. It scratches a specific
itch to bring together touring book authors and the people who go to
see them. Bespectacled novelist groupies are spared from the
non-bookish mob at Upcoming -- and vice versa. A billion-dollar idea?
Of course not. But a required, um, bookmark among the New York literati
by March? Yeah, I'll bet a buck on that.
Thanks folks!
Now that we're in such a good mood, let us add that we at BookTour are super excited about this push into the second calendar year of our existence. We've got several big announcements coming down the pike, each designed to make BookTour the absolute easiest way for authors, events and readers locate one another. We can't wait to let you in on them when the time comes.
As always, we couldn't do any of it without the authors, publishers, venues and readers that use our site and offer such valuable feedback. So keep at it. And so will we.
