Guest Posts: If you’re interested in submitting a guest post for this blog, please follow these guidelines:
-This is primarily a blog about writing, so the content needs to be related in some way. I accept articles about the process and experience of writing, book reviews, short fiction, and poetry. If you’re not sure that your piece would be a good fit, feel free to ask me before you write it.
-Include a third-person bio (50-100 words) and a photograph of yourself. Feel free to send other photos (book covers, etc.) if you would like. Also include links to your website/social media/books, but please have them as hyperlinks, like this.
-Please, for the love of tacos, proofread your piece. I understand that we all have typos here and there, but I won’t sit down for an hour to polish your work for you.
-You may paste your piece directly into an email or send it to me in .doc format. Add photos as separate attachments, please.
-Word count is not a breaking point for me. 500-1,000 words seems to be about right, but I’m flexible.
-Don’t use tabs or a lot of extra spacing, as it makes it more difficult for me to format later.
-Due to scheduling, it may take several weeks before your post shows up. I will contact you with the date it is scheduled for.
-I retain no rights to your work, and you will not receive any monetary compensation.
-You can use the contact form below or email me at ashleyomelia@yahoo.com.
Book Reviews:
Please note book reviews are currently closed. My list is too full! Check back soon, or sign up for my newsletter to get updates.
I love to do book reviews! If you’re interested in having your book reviewed here, please feel free to send it to me in either .epub or .pdf form. I often run a little behind on them, so it may be several months before your review is available. I’ll email you when it goes live. I don’t necessarily accept all books that are sent to me, but I will let you know if yours gets put on the list.
You can send your information via the contact form below or email me at ashleyomelia@yahoo.com.
Fiction/Poetry: If you’d like to have your short fiction or poetry featured here:
-Please either send it in .doc form or paste it directly into an email.
-Include a third-person bio (50-100 words), a photograph, and any links you would like included. Please have them as hyperlinks instead of long web addresses.
-Note that I will not accept all work. If I feel that the content may be too heavy for some audiences, I reserve the right to put a warning at the top of the post.
-I will have no rights to your work whatsoever, nor will you receive any monetary compensation.
-Use the form below or email me at ashleyomelia@yahoo.com.
Don’t forget to sign up for my newsletter here to get updates on when I have extra openings for guest blogs, book releases, and information about special giveaways.
