The Author Spotlight Series: More Than Just Another Interview
Marketing a book isn’t just about visibility—it’s about connection. Readers want to know the authors they support. They’re curious about the real stories behind the fiction, the inspiration behind the characters, and the process that brings a book into the world. That’s what the Author Spotlight Series is all about.
This isn’t a dry Q&A or a copy/paste bio. This is an opportunity to share who you are as an author—and why that matters to the people who read your books.

What the Author Spotlight Includes
Every spotlight feature includes a dedicated post on the Literary Inspired blog, custom social media promotion, and SEO optimization to help your story reach new readers over time—not just on the day it goes live. Your feature will be formatted with visual elements and key links, and shared on both Facebook and Instagram to increase visibility.

Who It’s For
The Author Spotlight is open to all authors—whether you’re indie or traditionally published, new or seasoned. It’s a space for writers across all genres to show up, share a little about their journey, and connect with potential readers in a low-pressure, community-first format.

Why This Matters
Readers want more than just a good blurb—they want to feel connected to the voice behind the story. A spotlight post helps bridge that gap. When you take up space with intention and share who you are, you give your audience a reason to care about your words and keep coming back.

How It Works
After filling out the form, I’ll review your responses and reach out to confirm a posting date. You’ll be asked to share your author bio, recent book links, social media handles, and a few thoughtful answers to our spotlight questions. Once submitted, I’ll format the blog post, add graphics, and share a preview for approval before publishing.
You’ll also receive pre-sized graphics and a direct link to your spotlight feature so you can share it across your platforms.

What You’ll Need to Submit
To create your feature, I’ll need a few essentials:

• A high-res headshot

• A book cover (if you’re featuring a release)

• A short author bio

• Website and social media links

• A few spotlight question answers (provided in the form)

• Optional extras: reader notes, quotes, or fun facts
  You don’t need to overthink it—just show up as you are. This isn’t about perfection; it’s about being real, visible, and accessible to the readers who want to support you.

What Makes This Feature Different
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all template. I’ve spent over a decade in digital marketing, and every feature is built with your goals and visibility in mind. From formatting to metadata to post timing, your spotlight is created with the same care I give to client projects.
It’s also free—because I believe that being seen shouldn’t only be possible for those with a big budget. I care about building sustainable visibility for authors who are doing the work and showing up for their stories. This is just one small way I do that.

Ready to Be Featured?
Use the form above to apply. Once I receive your submission, I’ll follow up with confirmation, a few next steps, and your estimated feature date. If selected, your spotlight will be shared across blog and social platforms, with all assets provided for you to re-share.
You don’t need a massive following. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to be you.
