Who: You!
What: One (1) guest post per customer. Please try to keep them in the neighborhood of 300 to 1,000 words. Be creative! Feel free to include a brief bio (50 or so words) and a link to your blog/website, if you have one.
When: You have until 11:59 pm on Wednesday, June 16th. I'll announce the five winning posts on Wednesday, June 23rd, and they'll be posted Monday, June 28th through Friday, July 2nd.
Where: Right here, on PMN!
Why: I'll be on vacation, Dr. Leo Marvin style. Do not come looking for me with an air (bus) sickness bag and a goldfish in a jar around your neck.
How: Please paste your post into the body of an e-mail and send it along to pimpmynovel [åt] gmail [døt] com (see link at right).
Let the games begin!
Question: Can the guest posts be repurposed from our blogs? Or do you want new material?
ReplyDeleteIs this a self-marketing avenue to promote our work? Or just a place to vent on any topic we think is worth writing about? I'd prefer it to be a place to mention my many books on my webpage.
ReplyDeleteawesome!! i'm also wondering the same thing as Matthew Delman. does it have to be an original post??
ReplyDeleteHi Matthew & Tahereh:
ReplyDeleteRepurposed posts are fine.
Hi John:
It can be whatever you want it to be, but keep in mind that one of the criteria I'll be using to determine the final five will be breadth of interest; that is to say, I'm more likely to pick a post that caters to the widest possible audience.
Hope that helps!

Interesting- I'll give it a shot!
ReplyDeleteI was so excited about this contest that I submitted my entry and didn't even leave a response.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds fun. I can't wait to see which posts are picked. Thanks!
Are the topics wide open or would you prefer that we keep the entries centered on writing and publishing?
ReplyDeleteYikes I thought I replied to this days ago. What a cool way to keep us all entertained while you're taking a break. Thanks for the opportunity!

I just sent you my post. You'll recognize it as the one sent by the obvious teacher's pet, waving her hand high, desperately hoping to be called on.
ReplyDeleteCheck.
