JustRead Buzz Blitz: 5 Perks of Being a Book Bee (+ Giveaway)

 

Welcome to the Buzz Blitz celebrating 5 years of buzzing about books with JustRead Publicity Tours!

Around 4 years ago, a sweet blogger friend of mine introduced me to JustRead Publicity Tours… and I very quickly fell in love with everything they had to offer. I had tried a few other blog tour groups prior to this, but found that most of the tours weren’t really for the books I read— Christian or otherwise clean. That was important to me, and I loved knowing that when I chose a book from JustRead, it was one that I would be comfortable reading and recommending to others. 

But I also loved the variety they offered both in their selection of books— and in the ways to buzz about them. While I had been reviewing books for 10+ years, I loved finding new ways to promote them beyond reviews— interviewing authors, guest posts… and of course, bookstagram! 

I have so enjoyed my time as a book bee over these last several years! Happy 5-years, JustRead, I can’t wait to see what the next five bring!!

5 book bee perks

Blog tours, bookstagram tours, reviewer tours, etc. are different varieties of book campaigns. Readers who participate in JustRead campaigns are called hosts or book bees.

Various hosting options 

Readers buzz about books in a variety of ways through blog posts (spotlights, reviews, interviews, guest posts), social media posts (bookstagram, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter), and posted reviews (Goodreads, Bookbub, and retail sites). 

Reader community 

Although reading is usually a solitary pursuit, enjoy a richer experience with community! Get to know fellow readers through comments, posts, and book recommendations. 

Author interaction 

Want to personally thank authors for writing books that you love to read? Authors often visit campaign posts to say hello, express gratitude, and answer questions. 

Exclusive giveaways 

Book bees are eligible for exclusive giveaways through the host newsletter and the monthly host giveaway in addition to tour-wide and occasional host exclusive campaign giveaways. 

Access to sweet titles 

Last but not least, the honey of the book bee life is sweet reads! JustRead promotes titles within Christian, wholesome, or clean reads genres with content notes tailored to conservative values when sensitive issues are present.
