Calling New Authors and Book Lovers!!




Have you recently published a book? Do you know a first time author recently published? It's tough these days getting our stories and books out there. This hop/giveaway helps to support first time authors whether published traditionally or self-published in getting their books noticed and read by the reading community. Let's support one another! Find and support new authors and their debut publications!
For authors: Provide details/summary of your book, places where your book can be purchased, review(s) etc. Giveaway is not mandatory but is highly encouraged. J
For book lovers: If you have read a debut novel and loved it, help the author by sharing it with us. Write a substantial review and where the book can be found. A book giveaway is not mandatory but again, it is highly encouraged. Nothing draws a big crowd like a fun book giveaway! J

    Great idea for a blog hop! Sadly I only have a short story, and not a novel, published, but I'll pop by to discover new writers!

    Hi Louise. It is very simple. Now that you are signed up, on the 23rd of nov, you will post on your blog or website a summary introducing yourself and book to everyone who visits you site for the blog hop. :) Be sure to add the blog hop button to your post. :)

    What a great idea! (And thanks to Heather for featuring me!) Tomorrow (10/25) I'm going to be participating in an Internet Book Fair where a bunch of indie books out this fall will be available for browsing, just like a real Book Fair. I invite everyone to stop by, and if you're a new author, please send me your cover/blurb/links so I can include you!

    Susan, because I sent you my information, do you still want me to link up? I probably should right?

    I am so excited! I'm not much of a friend spammer, and the word on the street is you have to spam you friends to get your novel out there. This is a brilliant way of getting it out without losing all my friends! LOL Seriously, thanks for the blog hop!

    This is such a great idea. Sometimes it's so difficult to keep up with all the authors especially new ones.
