If you are an author looking for guest blogging opportunities for authors, I am open for pitches.
I am a long time professional photographer from South Louisiana who also writes fiction. Spy thrillers. Contemporary romance. Short stories about cameras, code, and trouble. On my site, I talk about writing, story craft, indie publishing, and the strange bridge between photography and fiction.
Now I want to open that space to you.
Why guest blog here
Guest blogging is a simple win for both of us.
You get:
- A fresh audience of readers and writers
- A clean backlink to your site or primary book page
- A place to showcase your expertise and your voice
I get:
- New perspectives that help my readers
- Real world stories from other authors walking the same road
- Connections that may turn into long term collaborations
This is not just about dropping a link and vanishing. I want useful, practical, honest posts that help working writers.
What I am looking for
I am open to a wide range of topics, as long as they help writers or readers. For example:
- Writing craft, character, plot, pacing, dialogue, setting
- Indie publishing tips, launch plans, lessons from your first book
- Book marketing, newsletters, social media, ads, events
- Balancing a creative life with work, family, and deadlines
- Behind the scenes on one of your books, what sparked it, what you learned
- How your day job or background shapes your stories
- Anything that blends visual storytelling, photography, and writing
I focus on clean thrillers and romances, so posts should stay in that general tone. Family friendly, no explicit content, no graphic detail.
Ideal length is 800 to 1,200 words. Clear. Concrete. Helpful. Original and not published elsewhere.
Blog swaps and guest appearances
I am also open to blog swaps. You write a post for my site. I write a post for yours. We each introduce the other to our readers and both earn a solid backlink.
Want me to talk about photography feeding fiction, spy stories built from real airport moments, or what I learned launching Double Exposure and Boots and Stilettos as an indie author? We can build a topic that fits your audience and mine.
How to pitch your idea
Pitching is simple.
Send an email to Kirk Voclain (ME) info@kirkvoclain.com with:
- Subject line: Guest Blog Pitch
- A short bio, two or three sentences
- One link, your main site or primary book page
- Two or three topic ideas, with one or two lines on each
- Note if you want a blog swap or only a guest post
If it looks like a good fit, we will lock in a topic and a date.
If you are looking for real guest blogging opportunities for authors, and you like honest talk about writing, photos, and storytelling, I would love to hear from you.
