Tip #1 For Contributors: Provide Photos With Your Post
When submitting a guest post to Women Writers, Women Books, always include a photo or two of yourself and a photo of your book cover (if you don’t have a book published yet, an alternate photo is fine – perhaps some artwork that you’ve done). The author photo can be by yourself or doing something (at a desk, at a book fair, etc.); it doesn’t matter as long as you’re in it! If you don’t give us pictures to use, we as editors will still include some with your article, but we must rely on Google Images to 
find them. The author photo we choose might not be the one you would prefer readers to see, or the book cover we find may not necessarily be for the book that you want to promote at this time. Even if you don’t have a preference on which photos are included, it is still helpful to send them to us so that we can easily insert them right into your article and upload it more quickly.

About the Author (Author Profile)
Victoria Shockley is a writer and editor, an avid reader of fiction, and a sophomore at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. She’s majoring in English with a concentration in language and writing, and has aspirations to graduate a year ahead of her class to become a professional writer or editor. Recently she declared a minor in French, and is hoping to have the opportunity to participate in NCSU’s study abroad program in Paris, France for the week of spring break. Victoria is one of those rare students who actually enjoys school and learning, and she is proud to have a GPA that falls within the top 9% of the sophomore class at NCSU. Currently she is participating in an internship with Women Writers, Women Books for the fall semester. She is also a part-time copy editor for the NCSU school newspaper, the Technician. When she’s not fine-tuning her own writing (or that of others), you can find her absorbed in a novel, singing slightly off-key renditions of karaoke songs, crossing items off her “bucket list,” or practicing her French to become fluent in the language one day.
