Buzzing About Romance Podcast: Booking Policies and Criteria
We’ve received some questions about our booking policies and criteria for the Buzzing About Romance Podcast. Here’s everything you need to know:
Sunday Episodes
Our Sunday Episodes focus on book recommendations, insights into the world of publishing, and Romancelandia. We often group books and authors together based on a common trope or sub-genre. If you’re an author interested in being featured, we’re currently looking for authors to join as a collective to discuss topics related to their writing, common tropes, or sub-genres. These episodes are co-hosted by our regular podcast contributors. If you have a trope or episode idea, please use the contact form at the bottom of the page.
Author Spotlights
✨ Blog Author Spotlights: We’ll send authors a series of questions and even allow readers to submit their own! Your answers will be featured on our blog starting in July.
🎙️ Podcast Author Spotlights: We’re bringing you casual, 20-30 minute interviews directly to our podcast feed. These will include authors, bookstore owners, and other bookish personalities, similar to our old Quick Shots of Romance – Author Spotlights. These new spotlights will start in August and will align with book releases and events.
Please note: Any materials needed for the event, such as copies of the book, must be received 7-10 days before the event. Failure to receive these will result in the cancellation of the event.
If you have questions or would like to discuss availability, please fill out the contact form below.
Special Podcast Segment- This Week in Backlist
Authors, are you looking to give new life to a backlist title or series? Our This Week in Backlist paid promotion is the perfect way to reach new readers! Featured mid-roll in an episode of the Buzzing about Romance podcast, your backlist will be highlighted to our dedicated romance-loving audience. In addition to the podcast spotlight, we’ll create Social Media Highlights to promote your backlist throughout the week, and we’ll host a written Q&A with you on our website the week of your episode drop. It’s a great way to drive engagement and introduce readers to your past works. Reach out today to secure your feature and pricing!
Special Events: Drunk Book Club, Read-a-thon, and Challenges
These events are open for consideration to anyone interested in participating. They are great community engagements. If you would like more information, please email us.
Since the start of the podcast, we have featured almost 200 authors. Our plan is to continue sharing our favorite reads and authors. If you would like us to consider an author for an upcoming event, please reach out. If you have any questions about our process, please get in touch. We promise to always be 100% upfront and honest about what we are doing and our expectations.
We do not use any booking agent or PR firm. Every guest and book featured is a direct result of feedback from our community. We either personally email the author, or they approach us, or someone who works with them does. We then decide to invite them on an episode as openings become available. There is absolutely no booking fee ever charged to the author, PR Firm, or Publisher.
