#WritersRead Call for Guest Posts

I need you!

In the midst of this crazy world, having a good book to read helps me face the day.

(Well, so does my family and writing and the beautiful flowers. But still: I could not live without books.)

I created the #WritersRead hashtag many years ago so that reading writers could share the books that inspired them to write. Nearly every Friday, I feature guest bloggers writing about their favorite books for #writersread. Posts generally have three sections.

 

Section One: Book Recommendation

*An author’s favorite book in a genre (e.g., fantasy or mystery)

*A book that shaped an author’s writing

*A book that inspired a writer during a difficult time.

*A reflection on a writing book that inspired the writer

*A reflection on any book that encouraged a writer to write

 

Section Two: Writing Tip

What writing tip would you like to offer to readers? The tip usually has to do with the book you are recommending, though it might have to do with the type of book you write or the situation in the world right now.

 

Section Three: Bio

Take a moment to tell readers about you, your most recent book, and why you write. Include links to your website and social media presence.
