What You Can Expect / Our Policy • Become a tour host
We offer tours for fiction in all its genres and sub-genres, including but not limited to romance, science fiction, fantasy, suspense, paranormal, historical, mystery, young adult / middle grade / children’s, literary and women’s fiction. We also run tours for poetry and non-fiction, except review only tours.
Why should you choose Goddess Fish?
Though you have many choices in the world of marketing, we believe we give you the most “bang for your buck”. We are authors ourselves and understand that marketing and publication are vitally important, but also realize that there is a limit to what you can afford. With us, you will get top notch service and great exposure, not to mention sales you would never had had before and at a price you can afford. We’ve successfully coordinated more than 5600 tours in our fifteen years in business.
See testimonials from previous authors who’ve used our services.
We believe we go a bit above and beyond by doing the following for ALL of our tours:
- Selectively choosing tour hosts most appropriate for the genre touring (we don’t send out blanket invitations, but utilize our extensive and growing database to select hosts who have a readership who’d be most likely to actually enjoy and purchase the book).
- Creating the rafflecopter for your tour, drawing the winner(s) and notifying you so you may send prizes.
- Requesting confirmation of post receipt by hosts — this helps keep down the number of posts that don’t go up on time.
- Sending tour reminders to the authors and hosts a few days prior to the start of each tour (again, to help make sure the tour runs as smoothly as possible).
- Checking ALL tour stops every morning to make sure they’ve gone up (and emailing hosts on the rare occasion they don’t to remind them). If a post doesn’t go up by midday, we will endeavor find an alternate host for the tour and add it on to the end of the tour.
- Actively promoting every tour on our Facebook page, Instagram page and Twitter
So, what’s all this going to cost?
We offer your choice of several plans so you can choose what’s best for you and your budget. NOTE: All tours (except the Full Service tour) require the author to offer at least one prize of their choice during the tour to a randomly drawn winner selected via rafflecopter.
NOTE: In order to have access to our best tour hosts (who book their blogs well in advance) and to have the most successful tour possible, we require tours be booked and paid for the number of weeks in advance of their start date as noted on each tour. Tours booked ten weeks or more in advance, which include all information requested to start the tour, will receive a 10% discount (no discount on review only or full service tours).
IMPORTANT: Please click through and read the information on THIS page before booking your tour.

We will, however, make certain that the potential reviewer is sincerely interested in receiving your story. If the reviewer doesn’t like your book, we ask that only a promo post be put up that date (instead of a negative review) and the stop will count toward the 4 – 8 reviews for this tour.
- Please make certain your book is completely and professionally edited prior to submitting it for review.
