I love having fellow writers guest on my blog. Include your cover art, blurb, excerpt, buy links, social media links and author photo (optional) with your post or interview. Please send any pictures as a separate jpeg rather than part of a media kit. All pictures must be the property of the author or they can't be used. Please, no explicit excerpts - let's keep it PG! I reserve the right to edit posts for grammar or length. Posts should be approximately 300-500 words, and excerpts should be around 300 words as well, but I can be a little flexible with length. If you need a specific date that isn't listed, contact me. I may be able to accommodate you. I need your completed post with all your items at least two weeks before your scheduled date so I can post your blog and set up social media. Contact me if you have any questions.
Here are some suggestions for guest blogs, but I'm always interested to hear your ideas. To sign up go to www.SignUpGenius.com/go/30E0D48A5AD28A5FA7-guest:
