L.E. Fitzpatrick (l_e_fitzpatrick) | 14 comments I'm a blogger and I run an indie promotion site called Limelight which aims to showcase indie talent.

I try to do a post a day giving readers exclusive extracts, interviews or articles on indie authors.

All genres are welcome including factual books and self-help.

I will also do multiple posts to cover a series you might be promoting and coordinate with you on release dates and promotions.

There are still plenty of spaces available and all posts get promoted via Facebook, Twitter and Google.

If you're interested you can post here or message me.

Here's the blog with the specs about promotion and I've done about 30 posts since the blog was launched which showcase the type of things I do.

Oh and I forget to mention it's all free, I never charge for promotion of any kind.

Sarah Stuart | 21 comments The link is now in my favourites.

It sounds a great idea but "exclusive" means I need to do some work before I get in line for a spot.

Hi Lynzie, I'd definitely up for it if you'd be interested having me. Just let me know.

L.E. Fitzpatrick (l_e_fitzpatrick) | 14 comments Okay Sarah. I could put you up tomorrow if you get me the details of your book. Normally I like to post extracts but given we are short on time and there is a free promotion involved I think a blurb will be absolutely fine. If you want to message me: lefitzpatrick (at) hotmail.co.uk with a link to the book I will draw it up tonight and hopefully post it tonight.

I might not be able to get you 20 hours back but maybe I could spare you 20 mins.

Hi Marc,

If you are struggling indie author I am definitely interested in helping. You can message me to discuss what you want to promote, or if you already have material then just send it to me (address above).

I'll put together as much as I can and email you asap. Not sure how Amazon look on extracts rather than sample chapters. They'll tell me if I ask: I'd like to include one. Anything but the chapters anybody can read anywhere... a glimpse of Part Two is what's needed. A synopsis is beyond me in the time. When I decided to self-publish I didn't write one... I'm useless at it. I'll send the blurb... and there are some good reviews for snippets... ones that don't just say... I liked this, do read it.

Melissa | 43 comments Hi L.E.--How are you? I came across your post here and wanted to write you about a possible post and/or author interview? I will message you now with a book link! Thanks so much for doing this!
Melissa :)

Jerri Aubry | 102 comments I am interested in doing this. What do you need from me to get started?

Jerri


message 10: by L.E. (new)

L.E. Fitzpatrick (l_e_fitzpatrick) | 14 comments Hi Jerri,

You can send me an extract that showcases your work as well as a link to where it is available to buy and I will draw you up a post.

Ghiselle James (ghiselle_james) | 1 comments Hey L.E.! This looks very good! Few things.....& forgive my ignorance, but what is an extract???? Also, what else would u need from me to make things happen? Is there a sign up form that could make things easier?


message 12: by L.E. (new)

L.E. Fitzpatrick (l_e_fitzpatrick) | 14 comments Hi Ghiselle,

An extract is a passage from your book (I'm looking for a passage between 100 and 1000 words).

I don't do a form but you can email me (check above for the address) with your extract and a link to where I can find your book and we'll go from there.

Stephanie Teer Hi Lynzie,
I'm an author of children's fictional chapter book that also promotes animal conservation. Are you interested in doing any type of posts like that? If you'd like to take a look at my work and our new site...you can find out all about it at www.wildanimalkids.com. Not sure if this is what your readers/audience is looking for, but thought I'd check.
Thanks
Stephanie

L.E. Fitzpatrick (l_e_fitzpatrick) | 14 comments Hi Stephanie,

I am covering all types of books so there is something for everyone. I've done a few children's books already and I'd love to showcase your work. I am doing a halloween special next week but I do still have slots available this week if you can get me a post by then, otherwise I can put you up afterwards. If this works you can email me on the address above or private message me for more details.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Lynzie


message 15: by Stephanie (new)

Stephanie Teer Thank you Lynzie... I'd love to participate, but this week is a little soon. Preparing some "Cheetah Talks" for a couple of children's groups. How about we connect again after your Halloween special. Love to chat with you then via PM.

Thanks so much for your interest.
Stephanie

Hi Lynzie.
Thanks for posting this info. I just checked out your site and it's a wonderful resource for indie authors. I'd love to participate.

(Not to be confused with the other Stephanie with her wonderful I...am...Cheetah book) I am another Stephanie with a book about animals that supports conservation :) My new children's book, Wally the Warm-Weather Penguin, is a picture book about a penguin from Antarctica who travels to the Galapagos Islands. If this sounds of interest, I'd be happy to send you some exclusive information for a post on Limelight. I'll follow up with you via e-mail.

Thanks again,
Stephanie
