Writer on the Move - Guest Bloggers Wanted!

It's time for the announcement I hinted at last week!

I am a Writer on the Move once again, and will be traveling for the month of September! This is a trip that has been at least a year in the making, and my mom will be going with me. I'm also planning to take part of the time we're gone to research a new writing project! 

Where are we going? I'm keeping that a surprise for now, until we get a few more details ironed out. Anyone care to guess our destination(s)? I won't lie, it's going to be an amazing trip!

What does this mean for the Writing Desk?

While I do have a few posts already planned to go up while we're gone, I would love to take this opportunity to invite some Guest Bloggers to contribute!

I'm taking a page out of Tara Lynne Groth's book for this project. She has been featured and interviewed here on the blog, and is a fantastic writing resource! Below, I've provided a specific list of guidelines and post-types I'll be looking for. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to pay anyone for a guest post at this time. I hope that doesn't discourage anyone from wanting to submit.

Guest Blogger Guidelines:

• Reading Period: August 2, 2018 - August 15, 2018
• Word Count: 400-700 words
• Submit queries to (official.cc.writer@gmail.com) ONLY with all information in the BODY of the email. NO ATTACHMENTS.
• Your pitch should include:
• The topic of your post.
• A little bit about you and why you've chosen this topic.
• Proposed topic length.
• Remember, this is the Writing Desk Blog, so your proposed post should fit into the categories of:
• Writing or Publishing Advice/Experiences (both traditional and self-publishing)
• Publishing industry news/topics/challenges
• Interviews with other writers/publishing professionals.
• Book reviews will be accepted for submission, but this isn't an opportunity to bash an author you don't like. Only constructive reviews will be considered. You'd better have a solid reason for why you liked or disliked the book in question. 
• Be smart about language. I'm all for throwing out a swear word or two when it's warranted, but don't go crazy. Any posts with excessive language or content issues will not be considered. 

*****

I will notify all guest submissions that have been accepted on August 18, 2018 and guest bloggers will have until September 1, 2018 to send in their completed posts.

I realize there isn't a lot of time between each step of the process, but I look forward to reading any submissions that do come in! Even if we only end up with one or two Guest Bloggers for September, it will still be a chance to hear other writers' voices and experiences.

Have a great week!
