Abstract Touring is more than a necessity, it is the life-blood for many performing artists and performing arts groups. When done haphazardly, it is a trial and a burden on the performers, but when done well it can be profitable both economically and artistically. This book brings over 10 years of booking and tour management experience into focus to help you improve the quality of your tour activity. This is a book of fresh ideas, experienced advice, and a wide range of perspectives that will assist performing artists and performing arts groups seriously interested in, or involved with, touring. This book will help you to set fees and achieve your financial goals; create promotional materials that sell; capture new presenters; turn a booking into a tour; and demystify the booking process.
