Authors & Publishers - Read This!
This page is designed to give information to authors and publishers visiting the site, rather than readers looking for author information. If you are looking for information on erotica authors and their work, please check out Author Profiles. If not, read on.
Authors, writers, smutters, publishers, welcome. Thank you firstly for visiting the site and secondly this page. I’m guessing you’re here because you want to get involved, right? I certainly hope so!
The idea of this site, as mentioned on the About page is to bring readers and writers together, and also provide some fabulous promotional opportunities for writers and publishers. That’s what this page is about.
***If you’re looking for advertising information, click here***
At the moment, I’m looking for:
- Author Profiles
- Call for Submissions
- Competitions
- Free Reads
- Guest Blogs
- Interviews
- New Releases
- News
- Other Stuff
So, if you’re up for getting involved in any of the above, here’s how to go about it.
If you’re a published author and want to add your Author Profile to the site, please drop me an email info (at) eroticaforall (dot) co (dot) uk with (the text, links, etc, are better in the body of the email as it’s quicker than opening multiple files):
1. A photo attached, 150 x 150 pixels (if you really don’t want to use one, it doesn’t matter, but it helps to break up the text) – PLEASE resize your pics, there is an awesome piece of free photo editing software available here.
2. Your bio, in the third person. There’s no word limit, but don’t go too mad please. I will edit it down a little if there’s tons
3. Links you’d like included, i.e. to your website and/or blog, your Twitter and Facebook pages. Please include the full links so I can just copy/paste them in. One or two only.
I’ll endeavour to get your profile added just as soon as I can. If you don’t hear from me within a month, please drop me another email just to make sure your email didn’t get lost.
It’d be great if, in return for you having a profile on the site, you could link back to the site (banners and buttons here). It’s not a requirement, but I’d be very grateful!
Editing an anthology? Want to get the word out? Just send me all the details to info (at) eroticaforall (dot) co (dot) uk and I’ll post them as soon as possible!
If you want to run a competition to promote a new release or something from your backlist, please drop me an email at info (at) eroticaforall (dot) co (dot) uk, with full details of the competition, including:
- An image of the book cover, 200 pixels wide – PLEASE resize your pics, there is an awesome piece of free photo editing software available here.
- Some blurb
- A buy link
- Details on how the competition can be won
- Your closing date
You’ll be required to administer the competition yourself, i.e. if it’s run by leaving a comment on the post, it’s up to you to check on the closing date and choose your winner/s and let them know they’ve won. Please also leave a comment on the post to let others know the competition has been drawn.
Free reads are a great promotional tool for you. They’ll attract lots of traffic to the site, and any stories or extracts which are featured will have a link back to your Author Profile, so readers can check you out and hopefully buy some of your books! Send your story as an attachment (Word doc or something that can be opened using Word) to info (at) eroticaforall (dot) co (dot) uk. Please make sure it’s single spaced and has no extra lines between paragraphs, I don’t want to have to go back and edit it all, it takes a while!
Guest blog spots to help you promote yourself and your new releases. The posts can be on any topic, as long as it’s relevant to reading and writing erotica, and preferably also ties in with what you’re promoting. If you’re interested in booking a spot, drop me an email at info (at) eroticaforall (dot) co (dot) uk and we can go from there. I’d urge you to get in early though, spaces are filling up fast!
Please bear in mind I’ll need the post about a week before your scheduled date. Include any images as separate attachments.
I have posted a set of interview questions here. Take a look, answer as many or as few as you like (though obviously make it enough to be a decent length interview!) and send your answers to me as an attachment to info (at) eroticaforall (dot) co (dot) uk. I look forward to reading and posting your responses!
The place to shout about your latest release! Just drop me a line to info (at) eroticaforall (dot) co (dot) uk with information in the following format:
Release date
Book cover: 200 pixels wide – PLEASE resize your pics, there is an awesome piece of free photo editing software available here.
Book title
Author name
More information/buy link (please include UK links, too!)
Blurb
Author site/blog link
If you let me know as far in advance as possible about the release, I can schedule it in so the post goes live automatically on release day. I’d also like to keep these posts as close to release day as possible, so I’d say if your book is older than a month – it’s too late. Sorry.
I know it sounds like I’m being picky, but I can upload stuff much quicker if it’s already formatted correctly.
Also, for those of you that have an Author Profile on the site, please let me know when your book is released on Amazon UK and I can add it to the widget at the bottom of your page.
This is for more general information, for example if you or your work has won an award, or you’ve a new video trailer you want to post, and so on. If you have anything you’d like to post, just send me a query email and I’ll let you know whether I can post it. info (at) eroticaforall (dot) co (dot) uk
If you have any questions or other suggestions about what would fit into Erotica For All‘s remit, then please let me know. The site will be constantly evolving, so just because something isn’t here right now, doesn’t mean it never will be. Tell me your ideas and maybe we can bring them to life! Anything benefiting and promoting authors and their work goes!
