When requesting a tour, specify if there's a certain time when you'd like the tour to take place. Example: To correspond with a release date, personal scheduling issue, season, or holiday. Otherwise, you will be given the next available spot in my schedule.<\/p>\n
The next available spot in my schedule is typically 2-3 months away. For this reason, it's best to book your tours well in advance. As long as you keep me apprised of any production or release delays, it's never too early to reserve your spot in my schedule.<\/p>\n
Because of such delays, sudden openings may occur in my schedule which could allow me to give you a much earlier tour date than originally anticipated. For this reason, it's important to prepare the required materials well in advance. Unprepared tour sponsors will have their tours moved further back in my schedule, while prepared tour sponsors may suddenly find themselves with a much sooner tour date!<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
Deadlines play an important part in organizing tours. It's essential that you get materials to me in a timely manner. My schedule is booked several months, so if the requested materials have not been uploaded to your tour's Google Drive folder\u00a07 days<\/strong>\u00a0after I give you access to it, your tour will be pushed back in my calendar. On the reverse side of that, tours with materials uploaded on time will be given priority and will stand a good chance of being moved up in my schedule when an earlier date becomes available.<\/p>\n 6+ weeks pre-tour:\u00a0<\/strong>After submitting a tour request form, dates are set and you are given access to a Google Drive folder for the tour. The folder holds a checklist of materials I'll need to prepare the tour. From the time I give you access to the tour folder, you will have\u00a07 days<\/strong>\u00a0to submit the first batch of materials or your original tour dates will be forfeited.<\/p>\n 5 weeks pre-tour:<\/strong>\u00a0An email is sent to all Audiobookworm Promotions hosts (currently over 340) announcing your tour.
