Testimonials – Goddess Fish Promotions

I had such a great experience collaborating with The Goddess Fish Team on my 8-week Virtual Book Tour for ‘The Delicate Affair of Colonel Baquiste’ and I am looking forward to collaborating with them again on my second book! The team made this first-time experience for me so pleasant, and they were extremely supportive and kind in helping me understand everything in detail. Right from my first contact with them, inquiring about their services, the team answered all my questions, in great detail, even before I signed up. This was super helpful because it made me feel informed and comfortable before I signed up for the virtual tour. They guided me through the process and gave me all the reassurance that I needed to know that I would not be doing this alone and that they would see me through the entire 8 weeks which they did remarkably. Their timeliness and responsiveness were amazingly helpful in getting me ready for the tour well in advance! In each step of the way their promptness and willingness to help was much appreciated. The team is kind, considerate, prompt, professional and always ready to respond and to help out. I am truly grateful for everything that Goddess Fish Team did to make this first virtual tour book tour a rewarding experience for me! Thank you and I look forward to my second book’s virtual tour! – Luki Belle, author of “The Delicate Affair of Colonel Baquiste”

I wanted to say that Goddess Fish book tours are worth the money. They are organized and well managed. I’ve used you in the past and will use you in the future. Thanks again for an amazing book tour that delivered all that I expected. – Elmer Seward, author of “After the Wanting”

Thanks to all the online exposure my debut novel received during my blog tour with Goddess Fish a few years back, Dream Waters hit the top of Amazon’s bestseller list for fantasy fiction on multiple continents. But it wasn’t until I recently booked a tour with another company to see what sort of results it would yield, that I fully appreciated just how spectacular a job Goddess Fish does. Unlike their competitor (who I won’t mention by name), Goddess Fish delivered exactly what they promised: fresh content at every stop that gave me plenty of entertaining interviews, guest posts and excerpts to share with my current followers, and introduce me and my book to new readers; tour hosts with lots of engaged followers, many of whom followed my entire tour and made comments throughout; and Goddess Fish was always on top of things to make sure everything ran smoothly. On the rare occasion that a scheduled post wasn’t up first thing in the morning, they had already reached out to the host and emailed to update me on the situation before the sun had even come up. Needless to say, I’ll be booking all my future tours with Goddess Fish!! — Erin A. Jensen, Award-winning author of The Dream Waters Series

I just wanted to let you know how awesome this tour has been. Followers on all social media outlets have increased as well as retweets, shares, likes and comments. My book trailers are going crazy on their own. I also received a great review on Goodreads and my followers list on that site jumped from 16 to 135, and is still growing! …My other books are also showing increased interest. Thank you very much for coordinating this tour. – Kristal Dawn Harris, author of The Rings of Faolan-Rubies and The Burn

I am a brand new author and took a chance on Goddess Fish and the whole idea of a blog tour. It was a gamble that paid off! I have seen a serious uptick in all the ways I was hoping for: additional followers on social media, increased sales, and a clear understanding of what goes into successfully marketing a book! Thank you Goddess Fish for always communicating clearly and providing a fantastic blog tour experience! —Natalia Albrite, author of That Guy and That Girl

As an indie author, I’m not just a writer. I’m a business owner. Our words are our currency, and choosing Goddess Fish Promotions Editing Services is one of the best professional decisions I’ve made. Goddess Fish Promotions has completed line edits on my last four releases. Marianne and Judy know the industry. Their edits and suggestions are spot-on. I know that when they return my edited manuscript, they’ve gone through it with a fine-tooth comb. A book with errors is the quickest way to lose a reader. Goddess Fish Promotions provides top-notch editing services at competitive prices. They’re knowledgeable, professional, and personable. I wouldn’t trust my words with anyone else. – Krista Sandor, author of The Langley Park Series (The Road Home, The Sound of Home, The Beginning of Home, The Measure of Home and The Story of Home)

As I was preparing for my blog tour I saw Goddess Fish offered editing services. When I inquired further I learned that both Marianne and Judy worked as editors for several years before starting the company. I requested a sample and was pleased with the feedback I received, so I decided to give them a try. I worked with Marianne on a complete edit and was very happy with the results. Her feedback was clear, easy to follow, and she probed on things I hadn’t thought of. She was also responsive whenever I had questions and helped me work through a few issues. Her feedback and guidance improved the quality of my manuscript, all at a very fair price. I’m working on my next book and plan to use their services again. – J B Glazer, author, In Search of Mr. Anonymous

Choosing the right editor for a project is incredibly important to an author. Let’s face it, we want the best for our books. When I was considering editors for my first indie-published book, Regenerate, I naturally thought of Goddess Fish Promotions–and I’m so glad I did.

Marianne Arkins and Judy Thomas are incredibly attentive and professional during the entire editing process. Their input was invaluable and the story is much stronger because they cared enough to help unsnarl plot points and find order in the chaos.

I can’t wait to work with them again. Truly, a top-notch editorial team! – Sarita Leone, award-winning author of Regenerate

Exceptional kudos to Goddess Fish for a refreshing blog tour of maintaining clean links and details. A job well done. All marks of the professional(s) that make sure the details are taken care of. Rare in our publishing worlds, but our readers deserve it. Thank you! – Hawk MacKinney, author of Dead Gold

Working with Goddess Fish was such a pleasant and professional experience. Each and every morning, they were on top of the tour stops, thanking the host and engaging the readers. I’ve had such positive feedback on this tour and cannot thank Goddess Fish enough. I look forward to working with them again in the future. – John Feldman, author of Out of Hiding

It is a pleasure to work with such a professional company. I am so pleased with everything from start to finish. The tour hosts always do a wonderful job setting up the post and spreading the word. I appreciate the hosts who took the time to read my book and write an honest review. The response from the tour is amazing.

I look forward to working with Goddess Fish Promotions again for my next release. – Kathleen Ann Gallagher, author of Night Magic

“I worked with Goddess Fish Promotions to do my first Book Blast and I was highly impressed! It was to feature a minimum of 25 blogs and they booked 57 blogs to host my tour that day! Not only that, but ALL 57 blogs posted on my tour. In my experience on book tours, there are always one or two that fall through but this didn’t happen – and with so many! It was so wonderful to work with Goddess Fish. The process was organized and stress-free and my questions and concerns were always addressed in a timely manner. I would absolutely use Goddess Fish again and highly recommend them! Authors book your tour today!” – Donna Galanti, author of the Element Trilogy and the Lightning Road series

I can’t say enough about Goddess Fish, it was a fantastic tour. Everything went smoothly and I attribute that to the hard work that was done weeks before the tour even began. With The Heart’s Journey Home being my first published book I wanted to make all the right choices when it came to advertising and I didn’t go wrong. Goddess held my hand through the entire process. I was kept up to date via emails and by the time the tour began I was confident that it would go off without any real problems and it did. I enjoyed each stop and was pleased to see my book being daily advertised on Facebook and Twitter. Goddess Fish was a very good choice and I highly recommend them to any author who wants to seriously and effectively publicize their book. Thank you so much Goddess Fish, you did a great job! – Nikki Jackson, author of “The Heart’s Journey Home”

Goddessfish arranged a very professionally handled 3-week virtual book tour for This Madness of the Heart in the summer of 2016. Their attention to detail was extraordinary, and their replies to all my queries were immediate. I don’t think they ever sleep! There were no glitches, except for a baby born to one of the site hosts, and I went from invisible (my 1st book) to 100 followers on Twitter, most of whom are still with me. My thanks to the goddesses, and may their powers be ever-young! – Blair Yeatts author of “This Madness of the Heart”

Several years ago, I worked with Judy and Marianne of GoddessFish to promote a few of my early novels, and I remember the kindness and professionalism they displayed back then. After a few years of focusing on personal and health matters, I have new titles to promote and was delighted to see GoddessFish Promotions is still a reliable force in the book marketing world. When I reached out to my “old contacts,” the ladies were kind and professional once again. I appreciate their efficiency, their contacts in the industry, their ability to get a tour assembled nicely, and their results. I can recommend GoddessFish to new and established authors who need organized and seamless help with online promotion. – Fantasy Author Sandy Lender

Goddess Fish offered one of the most professional tours I’ve done. Every post was up and done neatly. Everything was easy to find. And it was all done very last minute, which I appreciated very much. I can’t thank you enough, and I look forward to working with you again. – Dani Lyn Alexander, author of The Reluctant Prince

You have been wonderful and I so much appreciate that you were communicative when snafoos happened and also when I had questions or comments. Everything was wonderful and I would highly recommend you and will definitely use you again. – KD Rose, author of A Taste of Mystery and The Brevity of Twit

I appreciate your professionalism and attention to detail…I appreciate each blog stop you arranged and all of the great reviews. You more than met my expectations and I will definitely back when my next book comes out. – Christy McKee, author of The Truth About Lilly

Goddess Fish did an amazing job helping me promote my book, Heart-Shaped Stone. The tour stops were everything I could have hoped for – genre specific, great participation, feedback and, best of all, exposure for my book. It not only resulted in sales, but in a good feeling knowing I had spent my money wisely with Goddess Fish. And although it’s rather cliche to say, “service after the sell” is not an easy thing to find these days. I was kept informed along the way, as well the team checked in and commented regularly along all my stops. Not all tours are created equally and I will always come back to and would recommend GF to my writer friends. Outstanding job! – Arby Corry, author of Heart-Shaped Stone

Goddess Fish did a wonderful job hosting Severed Ties Blurb Blitz Tour for me. Marianne and Judy kept me informed on the dates and location of my blog postings and advertised on social media. I have gained a lot of exposure. I will gladly hire Goddess Fish Promotions to promote my next release. – Angie Skelhorn, author of Severed Ties

Before my campaign started, my YA/New Adult paranormal-suspense, Shifty Magic, was lucky to sell a few copies a month. At the end of the campaign, it and the second book Undercover Magic, had reached the Amazon Best Sellers list for New Adult & College fantasy. Hiring Goddess Fish Promotions to run a publicity campaign for me was an excellent business decision. I will definitely be hiring them again! – Judy Teel, author of the Shifty Magic series

This was my first time doing a virtual book tour and it was terrific. Every detail was taken care of, and I always felt that there was support for me and my book. And along the way, I had a lot of fun meeting readers and having my book featured on some really great blogs. I highly recommend Goddess Fish to other authors, and I’ll certainly use them again in the future. – Deborah A. Bailey, author of The Hathor Legacy series

After hiring several different virtual book tour companies over the last 2 years, I can honestly say that Goddess Fish Promotions is head and shoulders above the rest. They cross-promote their authors and hosts every day of the tour, and Goddess Fish strongly encourages their host sites to cross-promote on social media, too. Goddess Fish has a large enough “stable” of host sites to eliminate those that do not comply with basic rules of procedure. If snafus occur, Goddess Fish does not make excuses; instead, they take immediate action to correct the situation. I have been so impressed with Goddess Fish’s attitude, their prompt attention to queries, and the caliber of their host sites, that immediately after my first tour, I hired them to conduct another. Thank you, Marianne and Judy, for your wonderful gift of service to authors and readers around the world! ~ Adrienne deWolfe, bestselling author of the award-winning Velvet Lies series of Western Historical Romances

I have done a few book tours and … you have been the absolute best. I have never had such attention, or responses. You can use this as a testimonial if you want. I’ve already said to other authors who have arranged a tour how different it’s been and I would not hesitate to use you again, or recommend you. I already have. – Shehanne Moore about her tour for “His Judas Bride”

I just finished a blog tour (my very first one!) with Goddess Fish and I’m incredibly impressed with them. Every aspect of the event was handled in a professional manner. Choosing my tour, sending the requested information and making a payment were easy. Clear instructions were sent to me and once the tour started, the question I had was answered promptly and with kindness and encouragement. Goddess Fish mentioned me on Twitter and Facebook and left a comment on the post itself. The blog hosts did just what I wanted them to resulting in an excellent tour. I couldn’t be more pleased! I highly recommend Goddess Fish and I’ll be swimming with them again. – Naomi Bellina, about her tour for “Into the Magic”

Goddess Fish, you did everything you promised and more. I was especially impressed on how you left comments on each blog to check if my review was posted. This was a very pleasant experience and will be using you again. I will recommend you to my author friends. – Dina Rae, about her virtual tour for “Halo of the Damned”

Goddess Fish Promotions has become an integral part of my marketing strategy. They keep my name in front of fans and potential fans with precision, high standards and integrity that’s been difficult to find elsewhere. I don’t always receive a lot of comments on my guest blogs and interviews but I have found that my book sales increase every time I do a tour with them, which is really the name of the game. They’re a true bargain at the rates they charge and well worth every single penny. – p.m.terrell, award-winning and internationally acclaimed author of more than 18 books

I have nothing but the highest praise for your company and the work you do for writers. … You girls have an exceptional work ethic, and I admire you for it. – Kate Patrick, about her virtual tour for “Love Beyond the Curve”

Thank you for arranging a wonderful review tour of WICKED PARADISE. You were very professional, responsive and timely in everything you did and the tour went forward without a hitch! … I have absolutely no hesitation in referring others to you. – Erin Richards, about her virtual tour for “Wicked Paradise”

You did a GREAT job! I think this was the best tour experience I’ve had with this book! Seriously, you were very professional and you actually took the time to promote my book, which is so very appreciated! Thank you so much! This tour experience was awesome! SM Blooding, about her virtual tour for “The Hands of Tarot”

I find working with you professional, easy, and energizing and will definitely use the Goddess Fish services again! Kristabel Reed, about her virtual tour for “Seduction of my Proper Wife”

My review and blurb/excerpt tour was effortless and so thoroughly enjoyable. Visiting the blogs, connecting with reader friends, was such a treat! Thank you Goddess Fish Promotions for a pair of tours that kept my books in front of readers! Marianne Evans, about her virtual tour for “Devotion”

I could not be more pleased with the results. I received so many comments everywhere I went and really enjoyed the interaction, and gained some new followers and readers who also now follow my blog, receive my newsletter and stop by regularly to visit a bit on my website. Anyone who thinks a paid for tour isn’t worth it needs to try this for the proof is in the readership it grows. In fact…I don’t think I’ll ever book a tour on my own again. I will be a long lasting repeat customer. 🙂 Highly satisfied! – Lila Munro about her virtual tour for “Assumed Master”

I loved the tour! Thanks so much. It … was a great experience. The turnout was better than I could have ever expected. I’d definitely book another tour when the times comes. – Sara Brookes about her virtual tour for “Chasing Sin”

You were ALWAYS there to answer any questions and always willing to help in any way. I wouldn’t change a thing. My experience was wonderful and I’ll be in touch when it comes time for my next tour. – Toni Lynn Cloutier about her virtual tour for “The Patriot Girl”

I wanted to give my second book, “Blood Betrayed”, the best help I could just before its release. I think I’ve truly done that with my tour through Goddess Fish. Your handling of my “Blood Avenged'” tour stands out head and shoulders. I fully intend on singing Goddess Fish’s praises to anyone who is considering a book tour. – Gabrielle Bisset about her virtual tour for “Blood Avenged”

I was incredibly impressed how well organized the blog tour was. This is the most efficient and well-run blog tour service I’ve ever encountered. Your process is wonderful, with small details handled so well that nothing falls through the cracks – you guys must be exhausted! Not to mention that the bloggers all posted as promised and were so generous with their time and comments! – KH LeMoyne about her virtual book tour for “Return of the Legacy”

I wanted to say how great I think Goddess Fish Promotions has been throughout – efficient, responsive, helpful, and friendly. Your service is excellent value for money.! – Janine Ashbless about her virtual book tour for “Heart of Flame”

I just wanted to tell you how pleased I was with the results from my book tour. My sales results were STUNNING. I’ll definitely be back for all my novella and novel promotions. Thank you very much… You guys rock! – Lori Toland about her virtual book tour for “Trust In Me”

My website traffic increased during my tour and my backlist saw a bump in sales! – Melissa McClone about her virtual book tour for “Expecting Royal Twins!”
