Looking for Sponsors

by Serena on March 7, 2010

As you all know, I work on a per article basis as the D.C. Literature Examiner. Not only do they have a referral program (Thanks, Marie, for signing up), but they now have a sponsorship program for local examiners.

Anyone interested in sponsoring me? If you are, just visit the site and follow the instructions. Once you sign up, you get a 300 X 250 ad space on my site. What could you use the space for? Advertising products, services, your blog, your blog events, and more. Prices start at $29 and you can upload your own JPG or Gif advertisement or create one from the templates available in a wide variety of categories.

I’m sure you want to know what I get out of the deal. My pay rate increases for sponsored articles about local events, authors, and books, which will make it easier for me to get to more local events and provide even more content for subscribers and all of you.

***

Thanks for reading this blog post, though traditionally I don’t talk business and advertising here. I hope you’ve been enjoying the recent content at the blog and D.C. Literature Examiner. I’m sure Anna would love a sponsor too for her Baltimore Literature Examiner page as well, but she’s too shy to ask.

Interview with Michael Landon, Jr., Author of The Silent Gift

by Serena on January 14, 2010

Sometimes, I have an opportunity to interview an author, even though I don’t have time to read their novel. In this case, I’ve interviewed a Christian fiction author, Michael Landon, Jr. If this name sounds familiar, it should. His father was the same Michael Landon of Highway to Heaven and Little House on the Prairie fame.

Check out my interview on D.C. Literature Examiner, here and here.
