Marketing Collaborations & Submissions

Author Marketing Collaborations

I’m open to doing newsletter swaps with authors in the same genres as me: fantasy (clean/low sensuality), clean romance, and women’s fiction.

Books must meet the following requirements:

  • Your books must be available wide (not just on Amazon).

  • Your books must be a very close genre fit to my own. Check this page to see what genres and titles I currently have published.

  • Your books must be low sensuality:

    • No on-page sex.

    • No consensual implied sex outside of marriage (even off-page) that’s meant to be an emotional high in the plot.

    • Non-consensual sex (sexual assault) must be handled delicatelyβ€”and used for narrative drive, not vicarious titillation.

    • On-page sensuality must be very low.

  • Your books must be professionally edited and have on-genre, professional covers.

I would need a sample of your book to review before accepting the collaboration.

Your book would be shared in my newsletter as a book cover with a link.

Contact me below if you want to share audiences.

P.S. At the moment, I’m not doing any author features on my blog. And I vet every query personally, so please allow up to one week for responses to your request before checking in.

Product Pitches, Advertisers, & Backlink requests

I accept sponsored advertisers for the following product types:

  • Useful products or software for writers or booklovers (but not books, as I reserve my limited reading time for myself and my own interests)

  • Tea, coffee, or hot chocolate brands

I will not post about products I haven’t tried and don’t believe in, so the company must be willing to supply a sample for me to try for free. All products must be available in Canada.

I am very particular about what products I will consider featuring.

I do not accept backlink requests.

Note: I no longer make food/nutrition blogging a focus, so I will not accept sponsored content on these topics (with the exception of caffeine brands, as mentioned).

Available placements:

  • My personal author blog (Winters’ Day In) and mailing list: for reader-facing products and services.

  • My blog for writers (The Author Alchemist) and mailing list: for author-facing products and services.

Fees:

Fees will depend on placement and context. It is unlikely that the product will get a dedicated post; most likely, it will be mentioned in a longer post on a variety of topics.

For a rate quote, contact me through the form below with a brand-specific pitch that meets the above requirements.

The following solicitation emails will be automatically deleted:

  • Requests for backlinks to specific articles or content.

  • Requests that have nothing to do with my brand.

  • Requests to change existing links to new articles, unless you are the author of the original article and have moved or removed it.

Guest Posts Requests

I do not accept guest-written posts. No, not even yours.

I write all my site content. If you want to guest post or ghostwrite, this is not the website for you.
