How to be a Guest Author



How to be a guest author on my blog?


What is a guest author blog post?

Some authors open up their blogs to other authors to promote their books, projects, and/or courses. It’s a great way to introduce your blog audience to fellow authors and for that author to do the same. Think about it like a Collab project between authors. It's a great way to uplift the writing community and give back or pay it forward.


Why would you want to be a guest author?

That is an excellent question. It will introduce a new audience to your work and increase your presence. Not only does this work for you as an author it also works for the author you work with. All around it is a good deed.


How do you find blog's looking for guest authors?

This can be the hardest part of the quest. Check your writing community and groups first. It doesn't hurt to ask if any authors have a blog and are offering guest spots. Next look at the authors you follow on Facebook or other social media outlets. Send a simple message and ask if they have blog then check out their blog and web page. Often authors that are offering guest spots will announce it on their page somewhere.


Why would I want to invite authors to post on my blog?

All the reason’s I have already stated but also it gives you the author of your blog a break. Nothing is better than knowing that you don’t have to write a blog post, all you have to do is promote the post on your social media channels.
