Tell a Million Writers About Your Product!

Writing-World.com offers you the opportunity to reach more than ONE MILLION WRITERS per year with information about your product or service. Our website attracts over 100,000 unique visitors per month, and receives almost 140,000 visits, with an average of 250,000 page views. Our site offers over 750 pages of information (not counting our newsletter archive). Yet our ad rates are some of the lowest around. We offer several opportunities to "get the word out":

Website Advertising - Rotating Banner

Our new 500x75-pixel rotating banner provides maximum visibility for your ad, appearing at the top of every content page throughout the site (presently a total of nearly 800 pages!). We will be limiting the number of rotations to 10; to increase your visibility, you may also sign up for one additional rotation (depending on availability). Rotations are based on page clicks/refreshes.

Rates for one rotation:

• One month = $100
• Three months = $240 (20% discount)
• Six months = $450 ($25% discount)
• Twelve months = $840 (30% discount)
• Intervening months will be calculated at the nearest preceding discount; e.g., four months would be calculated at a 20% discount, eight months at a 25% discount, etc.

Rates for one additional rotation:

• One month = $75
• Three months = $180 (20% discount)
• Six months = $337 (25% discount)
• Twelve months = $630 (30% discount)
• Intervening months will be calculated at the nearest preceding discount; e.g., four months would be calculated at a 20% discount, eight months at a 25% discount, etc.

Website Advertising - Side Button Only

Your 120x120-pixel button will appear on more than 800 separate pages:

• One month - $65
• Three months - $150 (save $45)
• Six Months - $300 (save $90)
• One Year - $500 (save $280)

Newsletter Advertising Beginning in January 2009, our e-mail newsletter will be issued twice per month (on the first and third Thursday of the month). Our rates, however, are remaining the same as they were for the once-monthly issue -- giving you twice the impact for your business or product. We're also increasing the line limit on classifieds to five lines (additional lines are still $1 per line per issue). We do ask for a minimum of one month of advertising (i.e., two issues):

• 1 month - $25
• 2 months - $45 (save 10%)
• 3 months - $65 (save 13%)
• 4 months - $85 (save 15%)
• 5 months - $105 (save 16% )
• 6 months - $125 (save 16%)
• 7 months - $145 (save 16%)
• 8 months - $160 (save 20%)
• 9 months - $180 (save 20%)
• 10 months - $200 (save 20%)
• 11 months - $220 (save 20%)
• 12 months - $225 (save 25%)
  
  
• Additional lines $1 per line per issue (e.g., one extra line for 5 months would be $10)

PLEASE check the length of your ad. Our regular rate is for up to FIVE LINES that contain NO MORE THAN 65 characters per line. This includes spaces, and if a word breaks within that allotment, it will be added to the next line. URLs must include "http://". If your ad is too long, send it to us and we can help you trim it.

The Author's Bookshelf

Just published a new book? Let the world know through the Author's Bookshelf! You have the option of linking your Bookshelf ad directly to your website or book sales page, or having your own page (with 300 words of copy and a cover image) on Writing-World.com. New listings are also announced in the newsletter for the first month of the listing.

• Three months (minimum listing) - $25
• Six months - $50
• One year - $75
• 50% discount for each additional title

Getting Started

Please send ALL advertising requests or enquiries (web or newsletter) to: Moira Allen, Editor. To place your ad, please e-mail the following information:

1. Your name and address (so that we can prepare an ad contract)
2. The type of ad you wish to place (e.g., Banner, Button, Bookshelf, Newsletter)
3. The duration of the ad (1 month, 3 months, etc.)
4. If a web ad, the URL to which you wish your ad to be linked
5. If a newsletter ad, the text of the ad (see line lengths above)
6. If a web ad, we will need your ad image as an attachment (GIF or JPG). If you are placing an Author's Bookshelf ad, and your book cover is available at the URL you've provided, we can download the cover for you.

Terms and Conditions

1. All ads must be prepaid.
   
   
2. Site and bookshelf ads must be received at least one week prior to the start of the month, and will be posted within three business days of the beginning of the month.
   
   
3. Newsletter ads must be received at least three days prior to the first issue in which you wish them to appear. The newsletter is e-mailed on the first Thursday of every month.
   
   
4. NO SPECIAL PLACEMENT OF ADS IS PROVIDED. (This means that we cannot place your ad "higher" on the page for an extra fee; while we understand the desire for "better" visibility, we do not feel that it's fair to "bump" our long-term advertisers for newer ads.)
   
   
5. Please review and proofread your ad carefully; while we do try to check for typos, we aren't responsible for errors.
   
   
6. Changes to ads and ad images are accepted, within reason.
   
   
7. Payment by PayPal is preferred for all advertising. If you wish to pay by check, please contact Moira Allen, Editor for mailing details. Again, no ads will be placed until payment is received.

Writing-World.com only accepts advertising for products, books or services that relate to the business of writing (with the exception of the "Author's Bookshelf"). We reserve the right to reject or withdraw an ad at any time. (If for any reason an advertisement is withdrawn, any unused portion of the payment will be refunded.)
