Our Services

There’s no shortage of author events, book talks or opportunities for audience engagement.

There’s a shortage of memorable events and meaningful engagement.

You wrote a book – but don’t know how to promote it. You published a novel – but can’t seem to sell it. You’re producing a running race – but people don’t understand your story. You’re responsible for boosting sales – but can’t seem to get people in the door of your small business.

That’s where we come in.

Read & Run Tours provides creative marketing solutions for authors, publishers, and brands who want their stories to move people — literally and figuratively. From coaching and event strategy to full-scale planning, management, and speaking, we help clients design experiences that are effective and turn audiences into engaged, long-lasting communities.

Whether you’re an indie author launching your debut novel, a brand seeking to connect with new audiences, or a publisher looking to incorporate a Read & Run Tours event into your authors’ book tour, we’re excited to help bring your story to life.

Our services are for:

  • The author who wants to stand out amongst the competition

  • The publisher who wants to launch a book in a one-of-kind way

  • The runner who loves to read and connect with their cities

  • The small town or neighborhood chamber of commerce who wants to boost business

  • The marathon that wants to retain runners year after year

And so much more. We can’t wait to work with you.
