A.F. (scribe77) Okay, I recklessly volunteered to post a series of blog features spotlighting participating authors and the convention. But in order to do this I need authors.

So here's what I'm offering:

You can get an interview, or a guest post or a book spotlight. I do these on a regular basis, and I have all the guidelines and stuff for these features listed on my blog: http://afstewartblog.blogspot.ca/

Also, since this is designed to promote the convention I'll be adding some blurbs, links, banners, etc. regarding the event. Or if you can do your own promo write-up or post about the convention (this would be especially great from last year's attendees).

So if you are an author and interested in getting a feature, just leave a comment and we'll talk. Hopefully I can start these features in February and continue them until April.

And please note: I generally I feature fantasy, horror, paranormal or sci-fi authors on my main blog, but I also have a secondary blog where I feature other genres , so this offer is open to any author.

Great. I have a DIY list of interview questions (plus every else needed and my email) posted on the guidelines: http://afstewartblog.blogspot.ca/p/in... or we can do a more tailored set of questions if you prefer. Your choice.

Charlene Jones just interviewed me regarding the Convention, which will appear on her radio show "Off The Top." I will be getting a copy. If you want this for your blog, let me know and once I have, I'll get it to you.

Also, I would like a slot please :) I am a fantasy author and multigenre so put me where you can use me please :) I'll go ahead and fill out everything I want/need from your Interview Guidelines page (Which I am stealing from you, btw... the idea, not the verbiage).

The radio interview sounds like it would be an interesting addition, send it along when you have it. And I'll be happy to put you on the schedule for a feature.

Wonderful. I have a DIY interview question sheet and instructions listed here: http://afstewartblog.blogspot.ca/p/in...

I find that's the easiest way to do interviews, but if you'd like a more personalized interview I can do that as well.

A.F. (scribe77) Just doing a head count here, to keep organized. Not rushing anybody, so don't panic.

Lenita, M T, Shari and Ed have finalized their spots.
I've talked to Timothy, Shane and Adan and worked out preliminary stuff.
Everyone else is still mulling their options (which is fine, like I said no rush).

If I've missed anyone's email please let me know.

Aimee Salter (aimeelsalter) | 2 comments I'd love to do an author spotlight. I write magical realism (which most readers shelve in paranormal or fantasy). I have a book coming out next month (DARK TOUCH) which is taking most of my time right now. But my current release EVERY UGLY WORD is another option. Let me know if you have room, and what kind of content you're after, in what timeframe.

I'll be doing this until April, so there are still quite a few spots available.
I do book spotlights, interviews, or you can do a guest post. I have all the pertinent information you need posted in guidelines (check the top tabs) on my blog: http://afstewartblog.blogspot.ca/

Wonderful. Here's the link to my interview guidelines and the information you'll need: http://afstewartblog.blogspot.ca/p/in...

I generally do a DIY interview process from the posted question sheet.

*Raises hand* Meep :) My email is angelabchrysler@yahoo.com My book is Dolor and Shadow (Tales of the Drui) by Angela B. Chrysler high/epic fantasy with witches, a magic system, and elves during the Viking era :)

This is Book #1 of the Tales of the Drui series. Book #2 will soon be released. I will AT LEAST do a cover reveal during the convention! :) SO EXCITED!

If you'd like, I could do a book spotlight/cover reveal combo for both books.


message 39: by Lydia (new)

Lydia Sherrer | 18 comments Hi there! Thanks for doing this, I know a lot of authors will enjoy being involved. I'd love to join in if there's still room. My first two books are debuting in April (same series, books 1 & 2), they are Urban Fantasy http://lydiasherrer.com/my-writing/, my email is lydia AT lydiasherrer . com. I'd be interested in an interview or guest post/guest post exchange. I don't know if the books have to be already published for you to do a book spotlight?? Let me know. Thanks!

I still have spots open for the later weeks of February, most of March and April. And an interview or guest post is great, but I've done spotlights for soon-to-be published books before, so if you want to schedule one close to your release date that can be arranged. Your choice. You can find all the information you need, plus my email, at my blog: http://afstewartblog.blogspot.ca/
