About The AUTHOR TODAY Website:
The AuthorToday website was created as a site to showcase authors on the web. My goal is to provide authors with a page where they can not only let the world know they're published, but also let people know about their books and other places on the web where they are active/actively promoting themselves/their books.

How To Become An Author Today Member:
If you would like to have your own page at AuthorToday, the cost is fairly reasonable at just $10 USD a year per author. I've set the price low because I've built this site as a sort of "hobby site", a project site I can work on a few hours each day that gives me something to do without the pressure of feeling like I need to stay right at my computer all the time. I'll build the page, you make your payment, it's good for a year.

Please note: if you write under more than one name, each pseudonym counts as a different author. You'll want to take that into account when joining.

All payments are made through PayPal, but you don't need to send any money until I have created your page.

I'm asking all authors who get a page to join the AuthorToday Author list (handled by Google Groups) so I have an easy way to get in touch with you. Use the form below for that. Okay, here's the form. Just type in your email address and click the button.

Sending Your Materials:
Now, let's talk about what you need to send me for your page, and where to send it.

I'll need the following Author Info:
-----------------
Author Photo
Author Bio
URL to Author website
URLs to other sites you are active on

and I'll need the following Book Info (for each of your books):
-------------------------------------------------
Cover Image
Title
Author
ISBN
Publisher
Back Cover Blurb

Just gather all this information together and send it to me in an email to tina "at" fictionpromotions (dot) com . I'll take it and build your page on the site. When it's completed and live, I'll send you an email with details regarding how to pay for your page. Again, all payments will be made through PayPal. If you don't currently have an account, setting one up is easy and it's free. Just go to http://www.paypal.com and create your PayPal account.

About Updates:
I know someone is going to ask about this, so here's my policy on updates:
You can add new book information anytime you have a new release. I'll post the information as soon as I reasonably can. New releases updates get priority, but if by some miracle there are thousands of pages on the site, I expect you to realize you aren't the only author who might have sent in info on a new release and take it in stride if your update doesn't appear immediately. Give me some time. I'm putting everything onsite by hand...no automation.

Other information (such as updated bios, new links, etc.) will be updated as time allows, and on a first come, first served basis.

Price Increases:
Yes, in time the price might go up for an author page at AuthorToday. If it does and you already have an author page here (you're already a member), you don't have anything to worry about. Your rate is locked in... until you unsubscribe/cancel your membership.

People who join after the posting or notification of an increase in rates will pay the then in force rate... and that rate will be locked in for them regardless of future rate increases, until they unsubscribe/cancel their membership.

IMPORTANT: I reserve the right to refuse to create any author a page for any reason even no reason whatsoever.

Leeann Burke - I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have characters living in my head. It wasn’t until the age of 12 that I realized not everyone hears characters talking to them. That’s about the time I put pen to paper and created their stories.
