Author Services and Advertising

* Book Cover ads only appear on the home page.
** Wide Skyscrapers appear at the top of the left column on all pages except the Home Page.

Please note that Bitten by Books may sell specific ad placements to multiple advertisers during the same scheduling period. This means that your ad will not generally show up on every page view.

In addition, individual ads will rotate through all of the available ad slots within a placement. For example, if you are paying $105 for one of the 250×250 run-of-site medium square ads below the skyscrapers on the sidebar, your ad will rotate randomly throughout those 2 slots. This ensures that all ads booked into a placement are given equal visibility. Ad campaign purchases are good for up to 12 months after the initial buy. You can use them at any time during the 12 month time frame. Ad campaigns not used within 12 months are null and void and no refunds will be given for unused portions of campaigns.

Ad Types Supported: We support Flash, HTML, and standard image ads (jpg or gif). File weights for all ads should be 40k or less. Animation time for Flash ads and animated gifs should not exceed 15 seconds.

New York Times Best Selling author Angie Fox:

Bitten by Books is a must-stop spot for me. It is the place to connect with rabid readers of the genre. I see a spike in sales when advertising with Bitten by Books every time, plus Rachel is so easy to work with. It’s a win-win all around.

Kat Parrish; author and editor:

Ever wonder what Bitten By Books can do for you? When I ran a promotion for Bride of the Midnight King, the power of the triple B boosted my downloads into the four-figure range, and propelled me to #1 in the US, the UK, and Germany. Not only that, but I got a healthy second-day “bounce” as well. Thanks Rachel!

Alexander S. Brown; editor and horror author:

By utilizing Bitten by Books, I have made sales and increased friends via Twitter and Facebook. Rachel is absolutely wonderful to work with, if the author has any questions or problems, she is quick to respond and help in any way she can.

I wanted to thank you for designing the terrific ad for the Boyfriend From Hell campaign this past September. The ads running on Bitten By Books were the best ads of my entire campaign. The placement was excellent. I couldn’t have asked for better. It made me look like a pro having such a good looking ad on such a stunning site as yours.
