Tips #3 For Contributors: Provide Social Media Links With Your Post
At the bottom of guest posts, we like to include links so that interested readers can learn more about the author and his or her written works. When submitting a guest post to Women Writers, Women Books, feel free to include a link to your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Smashwords, or author website (or all of the above!). Additionally, if you mention any of your books in your article, it is helpful to include a link to where they can be purchased (you can either include the link by itself, or embed it as a hyperlink for the book title), as well as a link to your Amazon author page so readers can browse your other novels. After all, one of the benefits to being published on our site is the opportunity to network with other women writers, as well as get your name out there to potential readers. It’s very beneficial to include these links with your article so that readers can find out more about you and your work. If you would prefer us not to include a link to one or more of these sites (for example, if you don’t want your Facebook page to be included because it hasn’t been updated in awhile), please let us know.

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.
