Welcome to the archive page for Sci-Fi & Scary’s Guest Posts. As you can see, we’ve endeavored to bring you guest posts on a variety of topics related to reading and writing, and are very thankful to each of our contributing authors. While you may occasionally see a guest post from a more well-known author, Sci-Fi & Scary takes great pleasure in giving independent authors the platform to talk as much as is possible.
Sci-Fi & Scary is open to guest posts both from adult-oriented authors, and also from authors of childrens’ books. The posts below are a mix that reflect this.
What is the benefit of doing a guest post on Sci-Fi & Scary? Well, beyond the back-linking possible to your website, as well as the additional merit of having another article under your belt, I also allow guest post authors to advertise one of their books (cover and synopsis) at the bottom of the post and list their author contacts (site, Twitter, etc.) to hopefully increase exposure.
