Event Pages for book tours and launches
Give every bookshop, journalist and reader one link for the whole tour. Each event shows the date, time, shop and town, with a button to the shop's own ticket page. When an event has passed it drops off the page by itself.
A launch box, pinned at the top
Put your launch event above everything else with its own picture and a live countdown to the start time. Swap the picture whenever you like. The box goes the day after the event.
The whole tour on one page
Every date in order, with a ticket link to each shop's own event page. Add a tour graphic, an author photo and the book jacket at the top, and website and newsletter buttons at the bottom. When the last event is over, send visitors on to your website or your latest book.
Tell readers what has changed
Tick Sold out, Postponed or Cancelled and it shows in bold next to the ticket button straight away. No need to rebuild the page or send a new link. Trial and full plans.
Get directions
Add the shop's full address and readers get a link that opens it in Google Maps. Nothing from Google loads on your page until someone presses it. Trial and full plans.
Easy to share
Every event has a Share link for Facebook, WhatsApp, X and email. The preview shows your tour picture and the event details, and people who open it go straight to the shop's event page. Trial and full plans.
See what it brings
Page views, QR code scans, ticket button presses, directions and shares, for the last 7, 30 or 90 days. Print the page's QR code on posters and shelf talkers.
Who it suits

A tidy page for a launch or a tour, in your own look, with no website to build. Free to try for two weeks.
See what is working
Every link, Event Page, Bio Page and QR code has its own numbers, for the last 7, 30 or 90 days.
Clicks and scans

Questions
Who is it for?
Authors, publishers, publicists and marketing teams. It works for a single self-published title or a whole list.
Can I use it for a book tour or launch?
Yes. That is what Event Pages are for. Make one page for the tour with a date, time, shop, town and ticket link for each event. Pin your launch at the top with a countdown, mark an event sold out, postponed or cancelled when things change, and share any event to Facebook, WhatsApp, X or email. Events drop off the page the day after they take place. The free plan has one page with one event. The trial and full plan have as many as you need, and the launch box.
What happens when the two weeks are up?
You move to the free plan. You keep your links, Bio Pages, QR codes, numbers and history, and everything keeps working. You just cannot add more than the free plan allows until you move to the full plan.
Will my printed QR codes and links keep working?
Yes. Plain QR codes hold the web address themselves. Tracked codes and links keep working while your account is open, and you can change where they go without reprinting.
Do you track my readers?
We count visits by country, device type, browser and system. We do not set cookies for readers and we do not store their IP addresses.
