Podcasts about blog tour

This week on the Excelsior Journeys podcast, host and producer George Sirois sits down for a long overdue conversation with multi-award-winning author Ann Charles. Ann and George met while part of a Blog Tour de Force event hosted by the Indie Book Collective in January 2011, and both were introduced to each other's writing by reading & reviewing Excelsior and Nearly Departed in Deadwood, the first of Ann's Deadwood Mysteries series. Over ten years later, with the release of Ann's fourth book in her prequel Deadwood Undertaker series, the two have finally met face-to-face so Ann can share her own journey that led her to be one of the most prolific independent authors today.Want to be an in-demand podcast guest?

Nancy East of Hope and Feather Travels Blog shares her adventures living with the mountains in her backyard. She's a certified Naturalist through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park Tremont Institute, a Search and Rescue Volunteer and shares her wilderness safety knowledge with fellow hikers through holding classes (both virtual and in the field!) and her blog posts. After 25 years of hiking in the Smokies, Nancy recently completed her map of hiking all the official trails becoming a member of the 900 Miler Club. As a way to give back to the park that she has loved so much, she is doing the Tour De LeConte challenge and raising money for Trails Forever Program and Friends of the Smokies who are rehabilitating one of the trails up to the LeConte Summit (Trillium Gap). This challenge is close to 45 miles and over 11,000 feet of elevation gain in 24 hours where Nancy will hike all the trails that lead to the LeConte summit.

This podcast is my stop on the blog tour for ‘The Boy Who Flew,’ by Fleur Hitchcock and published by Nosy Crow. We chat about subjects as diverse as ballgowns and baddies, as well as hearing about what Fleur has planned next. In case the interview has whet your appetite for some more brilliant titles by Fleur, I’ve rounded up her other Nosy Crow publications for you too. Remember to subscribe so you don’t miss out on next week’s episode featuring Jo Loring-Fisher chatting about diversity in children’s books.

I get to quiz James about the final instalment in the Apprentice Witch series, ‘A Witch Come True’ and reflect on the story now that I’m lucky enough to have read it! All as part of the book’s magical blog tour.

This podcast is actually a part of the blog tour for Karen McCombie’s newest middle grade title which has just been published by Nosy Crow: ‘Little Bird Flies,’ a historical novel set on the remote Scottish island of Tornish, where free-spirited Bridie longs for something more then the narrow, predictable life she currently leads. As well as this interview, you can find a written review on my blog www.librarygirlandbookboy.wordpress.com I also recommend another more light-hearted series of Karen’s, the St. Grizzle’s School for Girls titles, published by Stripes Books and illustrated by Becka Moor.

Kajsa Krause and Tracey Sawyer: International Hospitality Design Today in The Lounge, Nick chats Veronika Miller, the founder and CEO of Modenus and Official Media Partner with KBIS. Veronika will discuss her collaboration with KBIS and the line-up of events at KBIS 2018. Then stayed tuned for Nick's conversation with Kajsa Krause and Tracey Sawyer of Krause Sawyer at the Porcelanosa showroom in NYC. The duo will discuss their partnership, their love of travel, and how they created their niche in the hospitality sector. About Modenus Veronika Miller is the founder and editor inchief of  Modenus, a comprehensive digital resource for design professionals and design enthusiasts. Modenus began in 2009 and added a social media component known as the Blog Tour in 2011. The goal of the Blog Tour is to bring both people and brands together. The following year KBIS approached Modenus to help them connect with the design community, to build a bond and to reach design professionals who were not necessarily engaged in the kitchen and bath industry. After this initial contact Modenus became an official media partner with KBIS. This January will mark their 6th Blog Tour together. The Blog Tour has been hugely successful for Modenus. They have a community of about 250 bloggers who they reach out to for recommendations on what/who is new and interesting. These nominees are then narrowed down and the final blog tour participants are selected. In addition to the Blog Tour, each year Modernus compiles a Top 100 Influencers list, which again, is entirely community driven. Reaching out to the design community provides an endless resource for continued networking and education.                       KBIS and Modenus KBIS 2018 will kick off with a networking event entitled Champagne and Cupcakes on Tuesday, January 9th from 9:30-10:30 am. Hosted by Modenus, this invitation-only event will feature media influencers, designers, and media to celebrate the beginning of KBIS. Healthy cupcakes and a little bit of bubbly will be on the menu to honor their sponsor, Signature Kitchen, a new luxury division of LG, whose mission is focused on living well and living in a healthy way. There will also be giveaways, speakers and an introduction by Brian Pagel, VP of Kitchen and Bath division at Emerald Expositions. There will be many design events, speakers, and educational opportunities at KBIS. Jaime Derringer from Design Milk will be teaming up with Modenus at the lounge cafe, Design milk x Modenus Talk lounge. Mirroring the format at Wanted Design in NY, the lounge cafe will provide a relaxed atmosphere with refreshments, phone charging stations and an opportunity for everyone in the room to talk and share their thoughts. The event will also be streamed on Facebook live. Claire Jefford will also be hosting an event with several design influences that will cover the topics of Technology and How It Relates To Design and Social Media Do's and Don'ts. This Old House will cover topics on skilled labor global design and working remotely and The Good Home Redux will cover the impact of design on wellness and sustainability. Navigating KBIS For those new to KBIS, the large scale of the show can be overwhelming. Bring comfortable shoes and be prepared to walk. The dress code is business casual, most attendees wear jeans and polo shirts, with a few designers choosing to dress up. It is about one mile between halls. Veronika recommends starting at West Hall, which is the main area that houses the bigger brands and follows a more traditional format. Plan on spending an entire day there. On a separate day, focus on the North and South Halls, where the stage, discovery district, which houses the smaller up and coming brands, the Modenus lounge and an outdoor area with catering can be found. Plan about 15-20min to get to where you are going. On Wednesday, be on the lookout for Design Bites. Similar to speed dating, Design Bites give exhibitors an opportunity to d...
