This week’s topic covers tactics an author can pursue to get featured on the Outskirts Press app. Yesterday I introduced the four categories in our app, since knowing the “slant” of each category helps an author target a specific category for inclusion. Today we’re going to cover some tips and tricks to get featured in the “Blog” category, which features stories and articles from our Outskirts Press blog.
The topics and stories featured in the Outskirts Press blog vary considerably, but there are main “staples” to the blog, and those are:
Author Spotlights
Book Spotlights
Monthly Bestsellers
Virtual Book Tours
Award Winners
Book Fair Participants
The Author Spotlight focuses on prolific Outskirts Press authors who have published multiple books with us. This is a long list, so even if you are prolific, there’s no guarantee you will be featured, but we are trying our best to feature as many loyal and prolific Outskirts Press authors as we can. Therefore, the best way to increase your chances of being featured is to write and publish multiple books with Outskirts Press. That’s pretty easy. For example, the most recent author we spotlighted, Lisa M. Andrade, featured four of her Outskirts Press publications. She’s been featured on the Outskirts Press app since August 10th and is still featured.
Tomorrow we’ll talk about “Book Spotlights.”
