GUEST AUTHOR GUIDELINES FOR 2025 BLOGS

Please note I am not continuing Preparing the Sacrifice.

New this year. I will do a book review for Tuesday’s Treasue Posts and Fiction Friday Posts if requested. I will need a review copy no later than one month in advance of post date. If nonfiction and TT slots are filled, you may sign up for My Favorite Bible Verses and request a review but I cannot guarantee I’ll have time. I can usually find something about a book I like, so my reviews will be positive. f I cannot provide a review rating of three stars or better, I will advise and skip the review.

Please provide actual URLs rather than hyperlinks on your doc. I can do the hyperlink within the post.

Please be sure all images are jpg or jpeg format

FICTION FRIDAY

 

This blog is for Christian writers of fiction to reach readers about their books. Posts can be from 400-1500 words.

If unsure if your content is acceptable, contact me at lindarondeau@gmail.com. Anything fiction-related is acceptable. Typical topics might include the story behind the author's story, the writer's journey, why you love writing fiction, craft tips, spiritual or life lessons you've learned through research, interesting research information, books that influenced you, revisiting the classics, a short fiction story, novel excerpt from your book, or surprise me! You can review Snark and Sensibility on my website www.lindarondeau.com

HAVING THE PRIME OF MY LIFE

I will do a book review for any author 60 years old or over, or nonfiction books for seniors. Please send a review copy no later than one month before post date. If I’m unable to provide three or more stars, I will advise and not do a review. I can usually find something good about a book so all reviews would be positive.

This is a general market audience. Books do not have to be Christian, but must be free of graphic sex, violence, and abundant use of foul language. Please advise as to the intended demographic. 

 

This blog is written for seniors. It is intended for fun as well as information. Aging has its plusses. Posts should promote the positive aspects of aging with grace and dignity. Topics can include but are not limited to health and wellness, challenges of aging and tips to overcome those challenges, family dynamics, funny grandchildren stories, grandparenting from a distance, marriage in the golden years, going life alone in the golden years, adding family families, holiday ideas for family get-togethers. Anything senior-related that promotes positivity. I will accept posts from non-seniors if the author is credentialed for the advice given or if the post is about an older person who inspired you. If unsure, email me at lindarondeau@gmail.com.  See sample posts at Having the Prime of My Life. Authors may include a short bio (100-150 words), up to three social media links, a website link, a buy link with a book cover in jpeg format, and an author pic in jpeg format. Posts should be between 300-500 words. Do not send images for the post unless you have ownership of the image or from Pixaby or Unsplash and are credited if not your own (please specify if it is your own with implied permission). I will provide an image or will change your image if not properly credited. Please submit your post no later than one week prior to the due date. Sooner is better, but I understand the busy life of a writer. 

MULTIPLE SIGNUPS are allowed. But please no sooner than three times during the signup period. 

NOTE: content may be edited for flow, clarity, and reader sensitivity.
