Tour Guidelines

Thank you for being a part of the Fantastic Flying Book Club. We hope to bring you amazing books and put on exciting and successful blog tours. 

The following are requirements to be a part of our book club: 

• You must have a blog/website or Bookstagram account in order to participate in the tours.
• You must be able to accept both physical and digital copies. Digital copies primarily. Read more here. 
• If on the sign-up form states that only people participating on the Bookstagram will get a physical copy and you request a physical copy, you will automatically be put on the Bookstagram schedule and will have to post on Instagram on the same date you have been assigned to post on the "traditional" blog tour.
• If you are scheduled for an interview or a guest post, please provide your questions by the date requested in the tour schedule email.
• On the day of the tour, your post must be up at 10 am Pacific Time.
• On the day of the tour, your FFBC tour post must be the TOP POST OF THE DAY.
• If for some reason you will be rating the book anything below a 3, please contact us immediately so we can discuss other options.
• If you miss a post and do not contact us at least 48 hours in advance, we reserve the right to not include you in any future tours.

We encourage and welcome bloggers' artistic freedom. However, please include the following with your tour post:

• The blog tour banner
• Link to the tour schedule (we will update the links daily on our site)
• Book cover
• Book synopsis.
• Book purchase links
• If you review, a rating of some sort.
• Review or promotional material for your stop.
• Author bio and working links to her/his website and social media pages.
• Rafflecopter (provided and administered by FFBC) widget or direct link

Similar rules apply to people participating in our Bookstagrams:

• The content of the Instagram post is open and bloggers can write whatever they want.
• Link your post to our tours and the specific book tour we are hosting
• Tag us (the ffbc), and the tour organisers (as specified on our emails with you)
• Post the giveaway (if any) following the mandatory entries
• We highly recommend that you tag other bloggers hosting on the same day as you as well as the following day to send your readers to other sites and get more traffic.

If you have any questions about the following:

• How do blog tours work?
• What type of posts are there?
• What happens if I don't publish my post on my assigned day?
• What happens if I don't like the book or if my rating is below 3 stars?
• How do I sign-up to the FFBC Tours?

Please go to our Be a FFBC Tour Host page. There you can find extensive information answering this questions. However, if you still have any questions or reservations you would like to discuss with us, feel free to contact us at thefantasticflyingbookclub@hotmail.com.

We will do our best to provide you with everything you need at least a week before the tour starts. If there is anything else you need or require, please do not hesitate to ask. We will do our best to make everything go as smoothly as possible.

Thank you,
Patricia, Michelle, & Lauriane
