Be Our Guest Fridays {4}: The Book Wheel Shares Tips on Running a Successful Blog Event
Welcome to Be Our Guest Fridays!
Be Our Guest Fridays is a weekly feature hosted by Tanya from Mom’s Small Victories and Helen from My Novel Opinion where we feature guest posts by our favorite bloggers and authors. We started this feature as a fun way to give back to the blogging community. We are excited to share with you these creative, inspiring and knowledgeable bloggers.

Today’s Guest Post
Today Helen is hosting one of my favorite book bloggers, Allison from The Book Wheel. Back in September, Allison hosted the 30 Authors in 30 Days blog event that matched 30 authors with 30 bloggers to give the authors’ recent book recommendations. In case you missed this fabulous event, you can find my stop was on the last day of the event when author Patry Francis stopped by my blog to recommend Laura McBride’s We Are Called to Rise. Both books I had to put on my mountainous to-read list because so many authors and bloggers have agreed that both books are just so good.
Coordinating the 30 Authors event was no small feat and Alison is telling Helen how she managed on pulling off such a fabulous book event. So without further ado, head over to My Novel Opinion for Allison’s post on Running a Successful Blog Event. I know I’ll be stopping by and taking notes for our next Travel the World in Books event.
Thanks Allison and Helen for sharing with us.
Have you run a blog event? What tips do you have to add?
What a neat event, and I love this feature. I will be sure and check out Allison’s blog.
Thanks Kim. Would you like to write a guest post for us in February? 2/13 is open on my blog. I would love to feature you!
I have not set up a blog event, but matching up 30 bloggers with 30 authors sounds like it would involve a lot of work, and a great way to give back!
Yes, Allison did a great job with 30 Authors and my to read pile grew exponentially! If you could run a blog event, what kind would you want to run or join? I just got done with The Blogathon Games in October and am working on posting everyday for NaBloPoMo in November. Both focused on blogging and I love those too!
Thanks for sharing the link! I’m off to go check it out. It sounds like an organizational feat!
