Wanted: Guest Bloggers for Early-to-Mid August (Non-Authors Welcome!)
29
| Jul 2010 |
Got a book coming out soon? Want to pimp your favorite authors, books and/or TV shows? Or just want to chat about what interests you the most?
Here's your chance. I don't usually open my blog up for guest bloggers — actually this is my first time, but I've decided to have guest bloggers from August 3 – August 13. You don't have to be a writer to guest blog, and I won't allow blatant 100% pure unadulterated self-promotion.
Possible Topics:
If you're a writer:
- How I write
- How I revise
- How I plot
- Cool Things I Learned While Writing (my latest release, etc.)
If you're a reader / writer / neither of the above:
- Why you should try (author, book, series, TV show, hobby [such as knitting, etc.], product and/or service you like) — You may not pimp your own books, products and services, but you can pimp your friends' if you'd like.
- My Favorite Summer Spots (or Winter for those of you in the southern hemisphere)
- Why I like (genre, season or anything else)
- Things you wish were different
- How to's — recipes, tips, etc.
- Anything else that you feel strongly about (except politics and/or religion!)
In return for your time and effort I'll:
- Put your name in my monthly message (along w/ a link to your website or blog [or other social media profiles you have any] if applicable) on my main page for the entire month of August.
- Put your guest post on my main index page (not just the blog page) for 24 hours.
- Put your cover graphic up (just one….sorry…!).
- Put your byline (a short bio, etc.).
Please leave a comment and/or contact me via email.
Thanks!
P.S. I already have five or so people interested. I'd love five more. Thanks!

I would love to guess blog. I am no where near having a book published, but I am a writer and post business articles at Stiletto Woman and short fiction and poetry at Naked Sunfish. You could assign me an open topic, they all sound fun and interesting.
I am considering writing about the perils of writing in the summer, whilst distracted by things like swimming pools, walks in the park and kids out of school!

Aug 4th works fine by me.

Excellent! I’ll put you down for that date! Thanks! (Just send me word doc plus any cover photo, etc. via email.)

Hello!
I’d like to be considered for your guest blog! (If you still need people). I’ve got a book coming out from Decadent Publishing soon. My blog would be about idea generating. Thanks for putting this up, and let me know if that’s something you’d like!

Thanks! That would be awesome. I haven’t got the release date yet, but I’ll get things together and let you know. I really appreciate it!

Susan,
Sure! Your topic sounds great. How about early August? Maybe August 4 or so? It doesn’t have to be very long or anything. Thanks!

Hi Ellen,
I don’t have a spot right now (sorry!) but if you want, I’ll give you a guest blog spot on your book release date. Does that work for you? You can use the same topic (idea generating) or something else that you think is more relevant to your book.
I don’t let people do 100% promo, but I do post blurb & cover image for the authors who’re guest blogging on their release dates.
Thanks!

That’s perfect, Ellen. Please let me know via email (you can contact me here) and I’ll schedule you. :)

OK. I never done this blog thing before :( but I would like to try and add my 2-cents on books, poems, tv and knitting. If you don’t mind :)
Could you please tweet or email me about scheduling? Thanks Nadia :)
