Bog Hop: Understanding the Mechanics and My IWSG Post

I’m trying to understand the merits of a blog hop. As some of you know, my first book, Determination: A Mother of Five Conquers College, a memoir, was released May 6^th. You can purchase a copy here. https://books2read.com/Determination-A-Mother-of-Five-Conquers-College Thank you!

You are an important part of an author’s life. Word-of-mouth is crucial for any author to succeed, as you all know. Like I said, I am attempting to understand how to create a “Blog Hop” [tour] as a marketing device for my new release. This is brand new territory for me. I’ve interviewed a few of you about your new releases on my blog before. I, also, am available to be interviewed.

But I can also create posts for your blogs about the following topics, if you prefer.

The experience of a non-traditional student.

Overcoming academic challenges.

Balancing family responsibilities and personal aspirations.

The importance of support for children with learning differences.

How to create meaningful memoir.

Tips on how to keep writing.

Overcoming self-doubt and insecurity.

I’m just starting to get a feel for my blog hop here. What better place to start than with all my wonderful IWSG friends. Please feel free to offer any insight you may have about blog hops or tours. Have you ever participated in a blog hop? What did you do to participate in it? Have you scheduled you own blog hop for a new release? How did you do that? I’m trying to understand the mechanics of blog hops and how they assist with marketing.

And if you would be interested in hosting me when I schedule my blog hop for Determination: A Mother of Five Conquers College, a memoir, in the near future, kindly let me know in the comments’ section and leave your blog link so I may contact you. Or you can contact me through my website. https://victoriamarielees.com/ Thank you!

Now, let’s talk about the Insecure Writers Support Group question. What were some books that impacted you as a child or young adult?

Impactful books as a child or young adult? I lived through stories when I was young. Adventures. Romances. Whodunits. I loved immersing myself in books. Or creating my own adventure manuscripts, although not in book form. But particular book titles and authors of what I read when I was a kid? Sorry. I can’t remember any, specifically.

So, how about you? What were you reading as a child or teen? Any favorites to share? Why did you like that genre or that specific title?
