Hello All! Our contest season is in full swing as both our Windows into the Multiverse Writing Contest and our Cover Art Contest are both accepting submissions. Our Cover Art Contest is in need of sponsors. We have room for 4 more sponsors. For those of you who didn't know, not only are our Contest Sponsors featured on our website and social media during the contest, but your Sponsor Banner is also printed in the upcoming edition as a page header or footer. Don't miss out on this opportunity! Submit a sponsor request here: https://forms.wix.com/f/7186034940482421525
Some exciting news! As of this season's magazine, we are rolling out a new cost-effective option for advertising in our magazine: Business Line Ads. We soft-launched this last edition without giving the category any press, but now we are ready to share this great option with all of you!
Would you like to advertise your author business or book, but you don't want to break the bank? Try our NEW Business Line Ads! These advertisements appear as plain text in the body of the magazine. The first 1-5 words can be bold and capitalized. After that, the words are plain justified text. It is $5 for the first 20 words and then 25 cents per word after the first 20. This price is per edition. If you are not sure what counts as a word, it's easy: every space begins a new word. Websites only count as one word. Because 20 words comes out to $5 at 25 cents a word, that means that 40 words is $10 and 60 words is $15. Make sense?
You can also use our Line Ad format to run a shout-out or memorial listing in an upcoming edition. If you really liked your friend's book, why not purchase a short Line Ad to show your appreciation? Maybe you want to share a particularly good review with the Clean Fiction Community? The Business Line Ad is your new best friend.
I am so excited to share this new cost-effective option with the Clean Fiction Community. If you are looking for other low-cost options, we have Event Listings $5, Website Banners $10/mo., Contest Sponsorship $25/edition, and 1/2 Column Ads $25/edition.
