Book Tours.

Many authors have the drive to get out there and promote their books, to do signings and get out in the public eye, but do not have the resources. That is where Twilight Industries comes in. With over two years experience booking signing tours, both large and small for the romance community, we have the know how and the ability to get the job done right. Very few firms cater to the romance industry, so as a romance author you can be sure that your work will be set and promoted the correct way, to the places that want romance writers.

*please note: Twilight Industries also does tours for Mystery, horror, YA and suspense, along with general fiction. we do not do non fiction.*

Borders
