NOTE:
This page applies ONLY to authors who have already sent me an Author Introductory Article And are in my blog Authors Hall of Fame
This Authors Platform also intended to help you remind people that you and your books still exist 😀
SO…
Once you have appeared as a Guest Author, you can submit further articles about any subject you’d like to share, (once per month is recommended), providing they’re Family Friendly.
Why do I recommend that authors who have already been guests, send me further articles about topics they’d like to share, or “HowTo’ informative articles?
It helps keep them (and subsequently, their works) in the public mind and eye, especially if they have them posted regularly, e.g., once per month.
WHY?
It gives authors the opportunity to prove and demonstrate their writing talents are not just limited to the books and stories they’ve already written.
It’s much more effective than constant spam-like “Buy My Book’ campaigns (which are prone to being ignored).
By posting articles outside their own blogs, they increase their chances of being picked up by search engines, like Google.
It will introduce them to new potential readers, as well as reinforce their presence with long term followers and fans.
It gives them something to show potential Agents and Publishers when asked what THEY are doing already to promote themselves...

PLEASE NOTE:
This is a Family Friendly Blog, so if your book subjects are not suitable for Families, you and they may not be promoted.
I’ve been asked by several authors to elaborate on the Family Friendly aspect of my conditions.
It’s difficult to know where to draw the line but I’ve come up with the following that I hope will help:
Erotica:
Graphic descriptions of the sex act, consensual or (worst) non-consensual.
Violence:
Unnecessarily graphic descriptions of violent acts.
These days particularly, there’s growing concern that young people are being influenced by watching this on TV, Movies or in their computer games, leading them to become desensitised to the consequences for both the perpetrator and the victim and trying out the violent methods on others without compunction.
Swearing:
Gratuitous use of swear words for the sake of ‘realism’ and ‘sensationalism’ rather than to add to the story that is being told.
Like everything else in life, it’s a matter of moderation in all things – extremism and its possible effects on young minds is my main concern.
So – ask yourself this question:
‘Would I like MY spouse, children, relatives or friends to read this book and know it was ME who wrote it?’
Hope this helps.

Hi SRA, I would like to make a request and have the posts you featured about me deleted. I have a stalker and am just
being cautious. Christine Corretti thank you and hope you understand, my cute ape! I still read your blog.

Chris, I like your explanation about why writing guest blogs not only, if you know what you’re talking about, helps other authors, but also increases your likelihood of being picked up by a search engine.
I have a question about submitting an anthology for consideration for the Hall of
InfamyFame. In this particular case, the authors continue to own the rights to their stories, but they’ve given permission for them to be used in the anthology. In such a case, would it be sufficient to simply have the editor submit an article? I think he, and the genesis of his idea for the topic, would be very interesting.LikeLiked by 1 person
Authors and Editors are always welcome to submit articles for posting on my blog, Connie – however, they should first send me an introductory article about themselves – see my other guidelines at:
https://thestoryreadingapeblog.com/contact-me/if-you-are-not-already-in-my-authors-hall-of-fame/ (BTW – I haven’t had one from YOU yet 😱)
After that, they’re in my Authors Hall of Fame and can submit articles and book promos as often as they like 😎

Lol. I’m not an author so much as a proofreader. I have some marketing skills when I get off my butt. I helped on this anthology, but I didn’t write for it. I did read your other guidelines and pretty much knew them anyway; however, since I was reading the other page, I just included it with that comment. Thanks for clarifying, though.

I seem to have been very busy recently. I’ve another fantasy book coming out shortly, but we’re at the cover stage at the moment, and I’m waiting for the publisher to mail me some to look at. I’ll send you something in the next week or so.
As to my alter ego, she decided not to go with a publisher but to go it alone. She has published her first historical novel and is currently writing the next one.
More difficult than fantasy. Much more research needed. There’s so much I need to know that I hadn’t even thought of before beginning writing.

I must get some stuff to you, Chris. I write poetry as well as novels, and I publish them on my own blog. Would you accept poems and other stuff that has already been published on my blog, or must it be new content? (I assume I can publish it on my own blog afterwards!)
Thanks for all the help you are giving to we poor writers.
Incidentally, I am soon to publish a book in a new genre under a pseudonym. I’ll get my alter-ego to contact you.

Poems and other stuff, from your blog archives, or new, is fine Viv.
You are encouraged to share it to your blog and anywhere else you’d like to.
I’ll look out for a suspicious looking alter-ego-esk type character lounging around my email inbox 😄
