Tip 1: to make it easier for participants to return your comment, you can but don’t have to leave your URL in the comment. If I’m made aware that a participant is generally not following this rule, they will be removed from the hop. The idea is if everyone is returning comments, you should get as many comments as you gave or close to. Exception 3 is to recognize that for participants in regions where Internet access is intermittently blocked or interrupted, it might take significantly longer to reciprocate comments. Exception 2 is to recognize that we all have different abilities, and so for the months you’re unable to return comments right away, do so before the next hop date or contact the hop admin. Exception 1 is if you feel morally or ethically unable to do so. Either on the day of the hop or in the days following it, please visit all those who commented on your post and add a comment to their post. The more comments you give the more you’ll receive in return. Commenting:on the day of the hop, please visit and comment on at least 5 other blogs in the hop. Please note that because some participants have busy blogging schedules, you might have to scroll back through their posts to find their #AuthorToolboxBlogHop.Ĥ. Strictly speaking, the Wednesdays of the hop are the commenting/hop days, but get your posts up before that whenever possible. Have your blogs posted BY the third Wednesday of every month, and that way you won’t miss out on comments from those in the Eastern Hemisphere. What about time zones, you ask? Because those in the Eastern Hemisphere have a head start, I suggest everyone get their posts up a day or two early. Not to worry, though, because all you have to do to rejoin is shoot me an email, and I’ll re-add you as the next available participant number. If you skip more than one month in a row, you will be removed from the hop. You have to post the first third Wednesday after which you sign up. The when:mark your calendars! The blog hop is the third Wednesday of every month (with a reminder email sent a week prior,) and we will take November/December off (because we can.) For your convenience, there is a calendar below that highlights the 2020 hop dates. If your website is a joint collaboration with several authors, we’d be happy to have you as well. Non-writing publishing peeps (editors, book-marketing specialists, book-cover designers, picture-book illustrators, etc.) are welcome, too. The who:all authors at all stages of their careers are welcome to participate.
advice.) Straight book reviews are not permitted unless they are reviews of books about writing/publishing/etc.Ģ.
Interviews are also permitted as long as they provide valuable knowledge for authors (i.e. You have an idea for a post that doesn’t fit the parameters I’ve outlined, but you feel in your heart of hearts that authors would benefit from reading it? Awesome. Can you post genre-specific content? Absolutely. Sharing of your experiences as it relates to these topics is encouraged but straight journaling with no takeaway for authors is not what this hop is about. Theme:this is a monthly blog hop on the theme of resources/learning for authors: posts related to the craft of writing, editing, querying, marketing, publishing, blogging and social media tips for authors, reviews of author-related products, anything that an author would find helpful. Non-writing publishing peeps (editors, book-marketing specialists, book-cover designers, picture-book illustrators, etc.) are welcome, too.ġ. All authors at all stages of their careers are welcome to join.

Feel free to hop around to the various blogs and see what you learn! The rules and sign-up form are below the list of hop participants. Welcome to the #AuthorToolboxBlogHop! It’s a monthly event on the topic of resources and learning for authors. The post below is as it last appeared before we went on hiatus on January 13, 2021. After almost four years, I’ve decided to put the #AuthorToolboxBlogHop on hold.
