For those of you who've worked with blog tour companies, who would you recommend? What were your experiences like?
I'm not going to name any names, but I recently did a blog tour and was very disappointed. Not much communication from the blog tour owner, and the blogs themselves seemed really sub-par. Most of them appeared to exist solely to post "interviews" from the blog tour company, and there was no interaction at all with readers. One of the blogs was even locked down to "invite only," so I couldn't see my post, let alone comment on it! And the one place that was supposed to post a review didn't, apparently because the blog owner was really behind on her reviews (which I understand can happen, but still...).
Anyway, I'm leery of going down this road again without some recommendations from people I trust (namely, all you helpful KB-ers!).
I write fantasy romance, sf romance, and paranormal romance, if that helps narrow it down.
Thanks!
