Be Our Guest

Join us!

We are always open to new members who write shapeshifter stories. However, if you can't commit to posting (weekly), please consider guest blogging instead.

Be our guest!

We are always open to guest blogging. We ask that you write a short article about a topic, or answer questions interview style rather than hit-and-run release promo.

Please send us your post as a word document attachment a week or so before you'd like it to appear and include your book cover. Let us know the date you'd like it to appear.


Guidelines:


- No hit-and-run straight book promo. Your blog must contain an article or interview.
- Subject MUST be on the paranormal or shapeshifter related.
- Topics can be anything paranormal or fantasy-from real life to myths, history or just your thoughts on a subject.
- Include your Author byline and links displayed clearly.
- Do not create hyperlinks inside your Word document (display them fully so we can see them)
- Stop by to comment when your blog goes live.
- Articles can be anywhere from 200-1000 words.


Requested dates
We'll do our best to accommodate you, but keep in mind our member's blog days take precedence. The order your blog will be posted is in the order we receive the completed, ready to go blog entry. The only exception is if the topic you are writing about was recently done, or if you have recently done a blog and there are others who waiting ahead of you. We reserve the right to post them as we see fit.


TO SUBMIT
-Email us at  Serenashay AT gmail DOT com to let us know you're interested.
- Send your blog article READY TO GO, including the byline at the end, and links and link names you want added to the blog clearly marked.
- We DO NOT edit, so make sure it's how you want it.
- Send your book cover. It will be used in thumbnail size as your Avatar.
-We encourage contests - A great way to get readers reading your posts is to have a contest, drawing a winner from those who come and comment. If you'd like to host an exclusive contest with your guest blog, please put the contest information at the end of your post by your byline- prize, when you'll be drawing a winner from the list of those who comment to your post. We recommend giving the contest at least three days.
