  • * Please send text as one document attachment.
  • low-resolution .jpg photos of yourself and / or one or two covers (as separate files within the same email)
  • I like to mix the topics so please be aware that you may not necessarily get the next available slot.
  • Please note: I am not longer accepting submissions from online bloggers with non-writing-related site links
  • Because of the high volume of enquiries, I don’t schedule in advance but when I receive the content.
  • Please allow a minimum of two weeks for a reply before chasing me!

Dates t.b.a.

That’s it so far! So if you write (or you are perhaps a reader and would like to say something from the reader’s point of view) and you’d like to do a guest blog, I’d love hear from you with your idea. You can email me or fill in my website’s ‘Contact me‘ page. Click here for the topics already covered.

I post these every Tuesday and Thursday evenings (UK time), and am looking for informative writing-related topics up to c. 1000 words with a c. 200-word third-person biography, <200-word synopsis of one of your books (if you wish), along with photos of yourself and / or one or two covers (as separate files please) and links to where we can find you and your writing. I like to mix the genres so if you submit please be aware that you may not necessarily get the next available slot. Please send as attachments wherever possible, thank you.

Please note: I no longer accept content from online bloggers with links to non-writing websites.

There are also opportunities for two-a-week author spotlights (increasing to five-a-week from July), blog interviews (although the interviews now carry a fee) and flash fiction for the weekly Flash Fiction Fridays (which are then podcasted) or weekly Post-weekend Poetry. Take a look at the relevant pages for their lead times.

PLEASE NOTE: I don’t charge (or pay) for running the author interviews / spotlights / guest blogs etc. – these ‘services’ are offered because I love meeting and getting to know other authors and because it’s fun to put new things out (and a little part of me hopes that when visitors come to my site they’ll maybe buy one of my books!). So I thank each and every one of the authors who have asked (or said “yes” when I’ve asked them) to be, or are considering being, part of my blog. I’ll keep doing what I’m doing for as long as you keep doing what you’re doing. :)

    Hi Morgen, I’d love to do a guest blog. I’m the author of Playing the Genetic Lottery, a novel that I published as an e-book in November. It’s the story of a 32-year-old wife and mother who grew up with two schizophrenic parents. It’s my first novel, and ninth book overall. While my novel is fictional, I did a lot of research on schizophrenia and how it affects patients and their families. I’m an avid reader, especially of fiction, and one of my quirks is getting annoyed when I’m reading a novel that is full of unrealistic characters and situations. (Obviously I’m not a fan of science fiction and fanatsy) I’d love to write a blog about the balancing act I did between creating realistic scenarios in a novel to reveal the story rather than have the facts carry it along. I’ve posted excerpts of the novel on my website; http://terrimorgan.net if you’d like to find out more about my writing. Please let me know if you’re interested. Thanks, Terri

    Hi Morgen,
    I would absolutely be thrilled to do a guest blog. I am the author of The Suitcase of Secrets. It is a book based on a true story of a woman who decides to metaphorically unpack the suitcase of her past. Patty Hart grew up in a so-called perfect, christian, southern family while realistically they could have been considered ” the poster family for dysfunction. Through all the turmoil in her life, Patty had packed away years of memories, both good and bad. As Patty unpacks each item in her case, she relives the memories, sadness, happiness, and hope related to each piece removed.

    The book is very powerful and has received some wonderful reviews on Amazon. If you would like any further information or you have further questions. Please let me know. Thank you again.

    Connie

    Hi Morgen,
    After reading a few posts, I was delighted to find other authors going through the same struggles as I. Writting, editing, promoting, selling our books. I would love to be a guest author as I have one published book and another in the pipeline. Stranger in the Pulpit was released on October of 2011 by Tate Publising. Its sequal Stranger in the White House is due in August 2012. The propoer spelling of my name is Bryan M. Powell, by web-site is http://www.newlifepublicationsonline.com. I blog with the best at http://stressfreescribes.worpress.com. “Jimmy stared at the document and knew he was the next powerbroker in town.” Stranger in the Pulpit.
    You can find Stranger in the Pulpit anywhere! But especially at http://www.newlifepublishersonline,com,

    Please let me know how I can be a guset bloger..

    Thanks,
    Bryan

      Thank you, Bryan. (slap wrist if I previously spelled your name incorrectly – I of all people, Morgen / Morgan, should pay attention)

      Email on its way. :)

    Morgen, Alana Woods here. I’m scheduled for Author Spotlight on 4 April and Blogspot on 16 April. I notice you have a couple of guest blog spots still open. I also notice that you haven’t had a guest blog topic on editing from an editor’s point of view. I’ve been an editor for over 30 years and could do one on that subject if you like.
