Author Showcase Packages
The
Standard Author Showcase Package includes these features:
- We create two pages on our Web site for you: a bio page that features you and includes images of your book covers; and a separate page with the interview.
- We add your name - and links to our interview - on every page on the Reading Tub™ Web site. You are highlighted in our Current Feature list for 90 days, and then you are listed in our Showcase Archive.
- We link your interview to our profile of your book. That link remains active forever.
- We introduce you and your books to the world through The Wash Rag, our quarterly newsletter, sent to Registered readers and posted on our blog.
- Change for 2010: We provide a Press Release template you can use to publish a press release announcing your selection as a Featured Author.
- We advertise your upcoming participation on this page at least one quarter in advance, building anticipation of your interview.
A
Premier Author Package requires a $300 donation. It includes all of the features above and covers licensing permission to use the interview in your promotional material beyond a Web Site/URL reference.
We can work with you on timing. For example, if you have a book coming out in the spring, then we can arrange a feature for the Winter or Spring quarters. Read our schedule to meet some of the authors who have already signed on.
