Merhaba! Today’s article is in regards to clearing your queries that I received in regards to the book tour venture of Pakistan, The Moonglade Literary Tours-Pakistan’s First Book Tour Venture.
INTRODUCTION
Moonglade Literary Tours, created in 2019, is Pakistan’s first-ever virtual book tour company. We’re a team of four who arrange book tours to promote literature in Pakistan. In addition, I am assisting Pakistan’s young emerging authors.
I, along with my fellow bookstagrammers, worked on this project that me and my friend Unzila, aka gurlwithbooks, dreamed about.
Because I, as well, am a Pakistani book blogger. I understand how tough it is for us to obtain an ARC (advanced reader copy) and other book-related products in our country. Because we didn’t have many socially engaged bookstagrammers back then, one of the greatest constraints for new publishing in Pakistan was ruled out. Our authors were unaware of their readers, and the readers were unaware of the works’ release.
Moonglade was founded to serve as a link between authors and readers, providing them with a forum to promote Pakistani literature. As an author, you will have the ability to advertise your work on a national level through this platform. Our authors, on the other hand, get the chance to connect with you, read and evaluate your book, and assist you with book advertising, for example.
