Welcome to the first ever W&A
Award for Best Author Blog!
Having a good author blog can be an excellent resource for author
branding, book marketing, and building your fan base. As such, I thought it
would be both interesting and fun to check out some of the best author blogs
around at the moment and give the best an award.
This award is designed to showcase the
talent of authors who are building their brand and creating a
community through blogging.
Author blogs are nominated for awards by the
general public. Anyone can nominate a blog for the award.
The Process:
Submissions
are open to the public so people can suggest their favorite blog. The blog url
must be included for the vote to be valid. Nominations are posted in the
comments section of this post.
At
the close of the nomination period (midnight CET on 18th December), I will go
through the blogs and make sure there were no dead links and that the nominated
blogs have the requisite qualification (are in fact an author blog, and are
active e.g. have been posting in recent months).
A
list of all entries will be posted to this blog on 19th December and voting
will open. Again it will be the public that votes.
Voting
will close on 22nd December and all votes will be tallied
The
winner will be announced on this blog on 23rd December and get a banner to
display proudly on their blog (or anywhere else they want to let people know
what a fab author blog they have).
So, what author blog is your favourite? Who gets your nomination for the
2013 W&A Award for Best Author Blog?
Leave your nomination in the comments section below (and don't forget to
include the link).
