The Guest Lounge


The Authors Electric blog has been running since 2011. At the end of each month we have hosted guests of all kinds, from traditionally published and award-winning authors to Kindle debuts. Some of those authors joined us and now blog with us monthly.

If you have experience of indie publishing and would like to be considered for a guest post on our blog, please contact Debbie on admin AT authorselectric.co.uk (replace AT by @). Your post can be about anything connected with books or the literary world in general. Advice and how-to articles welcome! Feel free to mention and add links to your books, however your post should have some substance and not be merely a sales pitch. See this post about guest blogging by Lynne Garner: Tips For How To Be The Best Guest Blogger
