Become A Featured Author only $15 per qtr

Readers love to read about authors!  When readers feel a sense of a personal connection to an author, they are more apt to become fans, which will boost your social media presence, drive traffic to your website, and generate sales.

Your Featured Author profile will be a dedicated page on our website where readers can learn more about you and your work. Author Spotlight interviews are great because they are another wonderful addition to your branding strategy, and they don’t require much effort on your part. As a featured author you will get more exposure for your books and your name. More exposure can of course lead to more book sales, more reviews and increased opt-ins to your mailing list.
