My world is kind of disorderly right now and I have to put it in order so that I can forge ahead. So here are the upcoming changes for The Season website and the blog moving forward.
1. I will be removing the Buy Links for the books starting in the November issue. The survey clearly showed me that they are not being used to purchase books. Giving the time it takes to create the links, it’s not a very good use of my time.
2. The blog needs some structure around it. I need to post more reviews. Reviews that are NOT on the website. With this in mind, I’ve dedicated specific days for specific kind of posts.
a) Because releases tend to fall on Tuesdays, I’m designating the first and third Tuesday of each month for author guest or interview posts. Don’t worry, if I already have you scheduled to appear at any other time, that still stands, but going forward it will be 2 Tuesdays a month.
b) Excerpt Thursdays will be featured the second and fourth Thursday of every month.
c) Authors Flying under the radar will be featured once a month the third Wednesday.
d) One a month on a Monday, I’ll be discussing Fabulous Finds, which will be newly discovered books that were published at least a year or more ago.
That’s it for now. If I think of anything else I need to add to the monthly roster, I’ll let you know. If YOU think of something, please let me know. I love getting suggestions.
Sounds good Bev. I think the changes will be more useful to the site.
I am having a hard enough time getting my own space squared away. Your ideas sound fine. Everything you have done so far has been just fine.
Sounds good Bev!
The changes sound very good, Bev. Thanks for all the hard work you do!
Sounds like great improvements!
wow..lot of changes.
Thanks for this great site!
I think I’ll like the changes you will be making to the site. Personally, I don’t know how you find the time to maintain this website and keep up your writing. Talk about Superwoman! Thanks for all your hard work!
The changes sound fine. I know you asked for some permanent reviewers in the past, but have you given any thought to guest reviewers? Perhaps if we’ve read a book that hasn’t been reviewed here, we can submit one for your approval. You can post certain parameters such as it had to be released in the last 90 days by a major publisher and you have to have a good handle on sentence structure. My thinking is that some readers of this blog might not have the time to actually be one of your official reviewers with all the deadlines involved, but might have the time to write the occasional review.
Thanks for the work that you put into the site.
@Kim Fabulous idea!!!! Love it!
Thanks ladies! Trying to find what works takes a bit of time, but I’m getting there.
I think that you do a fantastic job with this blog!…and I look forward to seeing the changes.
Fabulous Finds sounds… well fabulous. Since I came into the romance genre pretty late in life this will definitely give me books that I might have missed. Of course my bookshelf might not be happy or the spouse but oh well.
