I want to welcome everyone stopping by from the Hop!
I'm a 23-year-old aspiring YA novelist and on my blog it's all about YA novels, writing and movies! I'm really excited to be meeting everyone! Feel free to have a look around my blog!
This week's question:
How do you spread the word about your blog?
For the longest time, I wondered this same thing. Then I stumbled across the Book Blog Hop and met so many cool people. I also try to review a lot of book, get author interviews and hold contests to make my blog more attractive. I don't use a lot of social networking sites but I swear by Goodreads and I love Shelfari. As for my Facebook account, it's for private uses.
- Make sure to check out my 100 Followers Contest to snag a SIGNED copy of City of Glass by Cassandra Clare and more!
- Help me out and take a peek at my Query Letter. I could really use some constructive criticism!
- Looking for new contests or to advertise your own contest? Visit The Book Contest Directory!
Hopping on by.
ReplyDeleteI so love the theme. I can just picture Tim Burton in here somewhere!

First of all, awesome query letter/book concept. But I already commented over there. :]
ReplyDeleteAlso, aside from the giveaways and author interviews, I promote in the same way. Haha.
Have a fabulous weekend, Amber!
Hopping through. Your query letter sounds great - a very interesting plot.
ReplyDeleteWriter's advice question - how do you get past the suckage? I write a few pages, which when I think logically are pretty decent, but every time I look at it, I just assume it's awful and want to bang my head against the wall and give up.

Hey! You know I'm a big fan of your blog already, I'm just popping in to say hi:) I can't believe you're not on Twitter, I could have sworn you were! You should give it a try and see if you like it, but I warn you, it's pretty addicting:)
ReplyDeleteHappy HOP!! When I first started my blog was pretty much a ghost town but I stumbled across the HOP and from there I started taking part in other weekly memes. This is pretty much how I meet new people and invited them to visit. When I remember I tweet my posts and reviews as well. Hope you have a great weekend planned :)
ReplyDeleteCome HOP by my blog and visit
Ahh, I love your header!!!
ReplyDeleteJust dropping by through the hop! Hope you've had a wonderful week and have an even more fabulous weekend!

Now see, how do you go about getting author interviews? Do you contact authors directly? Take interviews from other sites? I'm a bit intimidated by this!!!!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Blog Hop, Follow Friday and Giveaway!
I always love coming by your site -- this whimsical design always makes me smile and feel a little bit gleeful! :) Not to mention, I do so love your reviews!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of the author interview and reading on sites -- I just managed to conduct a couple and it was so much fun (not to mention an honor!).
Here's my Hop: Coffee and a Book Chick -- Blog Hop...

Hey Amber, just hopping on by! The premise of your story's intriguing and the title Styx and Stones is awesome :D
ReplyDeleteHopping through~
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your layout! The blood-drinking bunny looks frightening and scholarly at the same time!

Just hoppin' on by! <3 Thank you for stopping by my blog and following; I'm a new follower as well. <3
ReplyDeleteI pretty much insanely shy when it comes to networking. I feel like my attempts are so transparent that everyone will know just what they are: sad, sad attempts.
I would have loved to blog through August, as you did, but I've never been to Texas so I was always out and about! I didn't even READ for a month. Besides restaurant menus, haha!
Have a great weekend <333
My hop :3

Hi! Just hopping by. :) I agree Goodreads is very helpful as well as the hop. :) There's nothing like reaching out to fellow bloggers and letting them know about your blog. And of course the content counts. ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!
