Blog Tips

The focus of dru’s book musings is to be a 1) book advocate and 2) introduce an author’s work through their character(s).

Some tips for authors before you approach a blogger for a guest post:

  • Learn as much as you can about the type of blog they have.
  • Learn what genre they specialize in. For me, it’s cozy mysteries.
  • Make sure you’ve read some of the posts on their site to get an idea of what may be expected of you.
  • Contact the blogger at least 2-3 months prior to you book release to get onto their schedule.
  • Original content is preferred.
  • If you are given a deadline and can’t meet it, please let the blogger know beforehand.
  • Share your guest post on your social media platforms and groups you may belong to.
  • You’re not obligated to comment on blog posts, but readers do appreciate it.
