Episode 67: Blog Tours - are they worth it? - with Zoe-Lee O’Farrell

There's a healthy debate within publishing about the impact of blog tours. They're designed of course to support book releases and raise awareness of the authors. But just how effective are they? Our guest this week on The Hobcast Book Show is Zoe-Lee O'Farrell who is both a book blogger and a blog tour organiser. What does she see as their key value? We also discuss her first novel Ouija and her work with fellow indie press, Spellbound Books.

Also this week, Adrian and Rebecca reflect on a post London Book Fair bout of COVID, and discuss the impact a bad agent has had on one of the UK's leading promoters of new writing, Jericho Writers.
