#atozchallenge Free Author Promotion Opportunity - Last Day to Enter

It's the last day to enter my author promotion for April's A to Z Challenge. I'm featuring at least one (and up to three) author(s) per day during the A to Z Challenge, and I have some spots left. The form will end tomorrow.

And if you've been selected but haven't given me your information, please do so as soon as possible. I need time to set up the posts for April.

Thanks!

You can find out more about the promotional opportunity here.

A to Z Promotional Opportunities for Authors #atozchallenge

If you haven't heard yet, in April there will be the A to Z Blogging Challenge. Last year there were over 1000 participants. The goal is to post every day in April (except Sundays with the exception of April 1st) and have each post go down the alphabet. Surrounded by Books Reviews is participating in that challenge. I love books, but I also love authors, and I wanted to spend a month celebrating the people who write the books we love.

Every day (except Sundays with the exception of April 1st), I will feature up to three authors on this blog by their last name (or pen name's last name). But I need authors. I can just find up to three, but I wanted this to be a promotional opportunity. 

What will I be asking from authors? It's simple. Fill in the form below with your name (or pen name if you use one) and email address. Since I'm picking people on a 'first come, first serve' basis, then if I don't have that letter filled out, then I will email you for your author information, such as bio, links, and author picture (if you have one). Then, this information will be posted on the blog during the A to Z Challenge. Also, if you aren't quite published but have a book contracted or releasing soon, you're eligible to participate too.


Example (I'll use myself so you can see how this'll work): April 20 "R is for . . ."

Blog Changes Starting in September

First off, don't forget to sign up for the Favorite Summer Reads Blogfest. You'll get to tell people of your favorite summer read and have a chance to win some cool books.

Since August is this blog's one year blogoversary, I've decided to add some content to it starting in September. The new blog schedule will be:

Mondays: New Releases Week - Books I've noticed that are coming out that week. If you have a book coming out and want me to announce it, click here for the form.

Wednesdays: Reviews - I'll put up a new book review. If you have a book coming out and would like me to consider reviewing your book, please click here. Keep in mind that I'm not accepting new review books until September.

Fridays: Interviews - These will be occasional, but I'm hoping to have interviews from the authors whose books I review. Plus, a giveaway here and there will be nice. These will occur on Fridays.

I do have a few reviews scheduled for non-Wednesdays due to release dates and such, but in general, we'll stick to the schedule.

If you have any questions, please feel free to comment.
