5. Author Spotlight - 2 Consecutive Days
.The Author Spotlight lets you feature your entire portfolio (or as many as you wish), one each day on consecutive days, below your author photo and brief bio. The photo and bio stay the same each day. The spotlight title changes each day. Minimum two titles. No maximum. Must be same author name for all. Please be clear about the order in which they are to appear.
Required metadata:
1) Date of listing
Give the date on which the promotion is to begin.
Author Spotlight features can start on any day, but must be consecutive until the run is completed.
2) Title
As on cover.
3) Author Name
As on cover.
4) Price at time of promotion.
We will use the price showing on the retail sites 48-72 hours before the listing begins unless clearly instructed otherwise. Bear in mind we send separate newsletters to different countries. If the promotional price is only for one particular country or one particular retailer do let us know.
5) Blurb
For the newsletters the blurbs need to be short. One line is ideal! It's just to grab the reader's attention and get them to click through to the retailer product page. Think twitter! If your blurb will fit in a tweet it's perfect!
6) Genre
Give us up to three different genres. Be creative! We have no problems with Historical Zombie Romance Thriller or whatever you feel will convince a reader to click through to the product page. Just keep it short!
7) Cover
Upload your cover along with your other metadata.
We use images at 200 pixels width, so anything from 200 pixels wide and up is fine. Anything smaller may look hazy when we enlarge it.
8) Links
Okay, here’s the deal: We will send out your listing in multiple newsletters each carrying the same titles but each with different retailers and currencies specific to the destination country/region.
Give us the key US link for your title for Amazon, Google Play, Kobo, Apple, B&N, Smashwords, Books-A-Million, All-Romance/OmniLit and Txtr US.
Be sure also to include links to the library service OverDrive and the subscription services Oyster and Scribd if you are in these.
NB: We mentioned several times encouraging readers to click through to the product page. This is for your benefit, not ours.
We are not an affiliate operator and unlike most other promotional newsletters we do not make anything from click-throughs or sales you may make through these newsletters.
This ensures we are retailer-neutral, and do not favour one outlet over another either in our daily newsletters for readers or in our newsletter and blog for advertisers.
