Dearest Authors

Congratulations on your new book!  We are NOW accepting completed interview questionnaires!  If you are interested to be scheduled, you MUST follow the instructions below. As we receive your completed information, you will be scheduled the first available date. (and dates fill fast).   To accommodate the many authors interested in marketing their books, interviews are posted weekly.

Due to the sheer volume of requests, we cannot respond to individual emails until all information requested below is submitted.  

Please read below………………..!

We want to Spotlight your work!

There is Power in Reading a Book! An important way to gain knowledge and grow personally and professionally is through reading. I am passionate about promoting the work of women authors. If you have published one or more books, I want to profile your work.

Here’s how:

As a featured author, you will have the opportunity to market your book to my various social platforms.  A link to order copies of your book will be included with your interview.  In addition, we will profile you in our social communities, such as:

 

AFTER PUBLICATION

When we publish your post, it will show up to our various social networks as mentioned above. In addition, we will retweet it randomly over time.

RETWEET: Please retweet on Twitter the same day and a couple more times.

INVITE COMMENTS: We suggest that you send a gracious, personalized note to a few chosen friends with a link to your post, inviting them to comment. The value for them is the link back to their own blogs or websites, increased visibility, and the possibility of making new connections. If you aren’t sure yet why this is important for us all, see this blog post titled Nine Reasons to be a Guest Blogger.

LINK TO US: Please post a link back to us from your blog.

GRAB THE IMAGE: Take the special badge below as a ‘thank you’ for being a featured guest of our blog. You can display on your blog and within your various social media platforms.  This badge can be hyper-linked to your featured article.  Please make sure you grab the image.

  • Do you have any advice for other writers?

  • Is there a special place that you prefer when you write?
  • What projects are you currently working on?
  • What is your POWER WORD?  Why this word? (A power word is a word that has great effect to the person hearing or reading it. My power word is EMPOWER)

Send Completed Questionairre, Picture & Book Cover Image to: info@sylviabrowder.com. In the subject line, ‘author ready to be scheduled’

Sylvia’s request:

  • My request of you is to provide me a complimentary autographed copy of your book to read and properly market. This is NOT necessary to be featured.
  • PLEASE UNDERSTAND that sending me your book will not guarantee you a BOOK REVIEW.  My reading pile is humongous… and I DO NOT read  under a time-frame since unfortunately, I do not read for a living; this project (author interviews & FREE marketing using my social media connections) is a way to recognize the work of amazing authors and one in which I enjoy doing and not compensated for.
