World of Ink Tours
Have you written or illustrated a children's book and you need to get the word out about it? Are you an author or illustrator working on building your platform? Or are you trying to get the word out about workshops or services you offer writers, illustrators, parents and teachers? Then Stores for Children Publishing is here to help. You’ll find our World of Ink Tour is the perfect way to get your books or services out in front of the buying public and build your platform as a writer, illustrator or expect in your field.
What does this mean for you? Our target market comes naturally to us because children, parents and teachers are logging onto the computer daily looking for a safe entertainment. Because of this, SFC Publishing has registered with sites such as: Family Friendly Sites, KidZui and MasterMoz to name a few who drive traffic to our various divisions on a monthly bases.
We also understand working within a tight budget. VS Grenier started SFC Publishing with the money she made as a freelance author. She understands many authors and illustrators do not have big marketing budgets, so that is why SFC Publishing has developed an affordable way for authors and illustrators to be a part of the monthly World of Ink Tour. You already know us for our book reviews and our monthly Featured Guest interviews, but that is only the beginning with the World of Ink Tour!

Optional Giveaway/Drawing. By doing a drawing or giveaway during the month of the tour, it will help to attract interest and keep readers following your World of Ink Tour the entire month. We do this by hosting a Blog Hop where bloggers share information about your tour throughout the hop. This is a great way to drive traffic to your World of Ink Tour.
If you are touring a book, it will be included in the online bookstore at SFC Magazine and the Family Matters blog. We also continue to promote our World of Ink guest anytime we get any new leads or partnerships. We will send your World of Ink information to give you even more exposure free of charge.
We will send out a press release about your World of Ink Tour and your interview on the Stories for Children radio show to a variety of online release distribution services, along with posting on Facebook, book marketing sites and sending tweets throughout the tour.
Cost for the World of Ink Tour is $299—an incredible value for you and your book(s) to be promoted all over the Internet, for an entire month! (This offer is for a short time so book your tour now.)

Note: Our tour is limited each month to 6 tour guest. Each tour guest can tour up to six books. This also means authors/illustrators need to book their space in the desired tour month as soon as possible (if you have a specific month in mind).
*We strongly suggest authors/illustrators taking part in the World of Ink Tour do all they can to promote their tours. The more we work together to get the word out about the tour through online social networking sites the better the tour will be.
