Morpheus from The Matrix
First, know that this is a sticky post for the week and new stuff is going on below. I keep finding new posts are ignored when I have something fastened to the top, but I want this here for a bit.
Starting in August, I’m going to be opening Sundays to authors who want to make a guest post or simply promote their books. All you have to do is make contact, send me the post with links and pictures, and I’ll set it up. This is going to be a first come, first serve email type of deal. I figure Sunday is a good day to have one up and leave it at the top. I’ll be doing a sticky post for it that will last until the next morning when the Monday post goes up.
So, let me know if you’re interested and we’ll try to set something up. Email is lukecallindor@gmail.com. Enjoy the weekend.
EDIT: I just realized how silly it is to wait until August. The original plan was for this to be a Thursday thing, but I know a few people who do events on those days. To avoid stepping on toes, I switched to Sunday. That means we can start this right away.

I’m in, especially as I’m currently running a Rise 99c special 🙂

Sure. If you want, I go put you on for next Sunday. The original plan was Thursday, which is why I went with August. Guess the day switch means I can start it in July. Should edit that in.

I have a new fantasy novel out, and I would like to promote it–I would be happy to provide whatever you would like. Thanks!

Awesome. A basic post would be the blurb, an excerpt, author bio, cover photo, and associated links. The other option is a guest post that relates to something within your book (inspiration, discuss one of the themes, etc.) along with cover art, bio, author photo, and links.

Count me in, Charles! I have a new novel I just published and would like to highlight that plus my other books. I can send you my synopsis and cover and links. Let me know what else. Thanks!! 😆

The other things I would need are an author bio, author photo, and maybe a small excerpt. The last part isn’t necessary.

I will be launching Our Justice in late August or September. I think that would be a good time.

Sure thing. Even if I get the next Windemere book out around then, I’m still leaving Sunday open to the guest posts. Maybe the two things can help each other.

Awesome, and I appreciate a day other than Thursday. I’ll see what I can work up. I actually have a fantasy story, and it might fit well here.

Yeah. Since I usually reblog Lisa’s show, I didn’t want to hamper either thing. I’ll schedule the story and info once I get it.

I hope Lisa’s show can continue. Lots of talk not enough action. Summer may have something to do with that too.

Summer has definitely slowed a few things down. Good in some ways, but a pain in other.

Great. I can schedule a post as soon as I get the info. For new releases, I’m suggesting cover, blurb, bio, author photo, excerpt, and links for sales and social media.

I can send you everything but a link to the book on Kindle. Should have that soon.

Okay. Do you want me to hold off on scheduling the book until you get the link or should I set it up for 2 weeks from now?

Set it up for July 31st?

31st should be good. Once I get the info, I’ll do it.

I’d love to get in around the end of August, just before my book comes out. Can you pencil me in for a date and let me see how it goes?
LikeLike
I can do a tentative date for the 28th and have a backup in case you need more time. Thankfully, it’s rather easy to reschedule stuff as long as I have a day to do it.

Thanks. Will you be sending the cover art, author info, and blurb too or should I take that off Amazon?

Blurb and cover info will be the same as what’s on Amazon but I’ll update the author info a little. So whichever is easiest for you…What sort of word limit would you prefer on the guest post? Many thanks again.

I don’t really have word limits. Probably between 500 and 1,000 combined? Depends on if you want to add an excerpt too.

Ok thanks very much. Will get down to it tomorrow…

Not a problem. I’ll do what I can off the Amazon site and add what you send.
