GIVE READERS SOMETHING MORE THAN A BLURB

Sometimes the best way to introduce readers to a book is to take them behind the story.

Yarde Book Promotions Guest Post Features give authors the opportunity to share the inspiration, history, characters, research and ideas behind their books in a more personal and engaging way.

Each feature is published on Yarde Book Promotions and supported with social media promotion, helping readers discover not only your book, but the story behind it.

All genres are welcome.

• The moment the idea first came to you
• A real person or historical event that inspired the story

• Why you felt this story needed to be written
