Post #006-We have MOVED!

You can find us at www.hotlitbooks.org

Our new LOGO!

As you can tell by the title we have moved. We are now at www.hotlitbooks.org. As most of you who follow us on Twitter or Facebook know that our site through our host at webs.com has had more problems that we care to list. So we made an organizational decision to move our site to a more reliable host.


We are now through Moonfruit, which is affordable and most of all reliable. As I am sure you are aware by now we have changed everything. From logo design to the lay of the "land" so to speak. We know this will better serve all of you, the reader, and the author.


We are really excited about our future here in our new digs and we think you will be too. There are great things ahead for us as an organization and for our authors. As always we are still needing your help.


Through our site you can find multiple ways to get involved with our wonderful organization. From memberships to ad space. Your donations and dollars go to our operating costs and our FEATURED AUTHOR program, which will help us continue the program in the future. Literary arts keep the history of our ancestors alive by telling a story. Keep this art going by contributing today by visiting www.hotlitbooks.org .


Thanks for visiting our new site and believing in us as organization. Special thanks to our friends, followers, current members, and our sponsors.


Thanks again,


Gabriella Deveraux-Founder

New reviews with Hotlit Books

Hello my name is Xavier Zyta, and I am lucky to be collaborating with Gabriella Deveraux on her baby at HotLit Books.  If you are not familiar with HotLit Books, then I will give you a short description.  HotLit Books is for independent authors to showcase their latest works.  For 2 week s Hotlit Books will feature an author and a book that they have recently released.  This is great exposure for the author, and to you the readers it gives you a place to look for new released books.  The key thing to this is as a reader it is free to find out what is out there and being that we will be putting these in genres to make it easier for locating what you the reader may want to digest next.  Gabriella started this site just for the purpose of helping other independent authors and it has been doing great for the past 3 months and we have had 5 authors and the list has grown exponentially.  The increasing traffic, just like yourself has made it a success for independent authors and increased sales for the authors.  Why not? It is a win-win situation,a free spot for both the writer and the reader for Ebooks. 

Gabriella is a published author of erotica and I am published in Mystery/Erotica.  We have been friends for almost 7 years now and have different styles to our books and what we look for in a story.  I was lucky enough to be her first featured author and have been promoting HotLit Books, so it is easy to understand how I would join her and collaborate with her at HotLit Books. 

We will be adding Ebook reviews to HotLit books and offer to review books on HotLit Books.  This will be a no nonsense style.  If you want a review of your book, please check out the Review tab on our main site.  I will put it to you in the simplest form.  This will be an honest review and not like some of the sites, where it is a fluff review, just so you get a 5 star rating (rating scheme to be determined).  If you want your book reviewed honestly, then you will know that it will be reviewed honestly and fairly. We both love to read and to have someone tell us a story.  If you wrote it, then you are telling a story and we love to read different stories and be introduced to new characters and situations.  We have a variety of genres that we read and there is no story that we will not look at and review.  Sorry, you won’t be able to shock us with your story and we will not turn a book down just because of content.  Again though, be understanding that we will review it fairly.  We will not be grammar the police though, but more of the story police.

If you are an independent author and have a book that has been recently released, you should view our Author Inquiries page.  What does it hurt?  We will start asking for a donation, which could be anywhere from $2 to what you would like to donate.  There is a lot of time that Gabriella puts into this, and I don’t think that a lot of authors understand how much time she actually puts into getting their books out.  We will begin in July doing local to the Portland, Or area promoting HotLit Books with different area activities. 

This blog has been started to offer authors a resource for writing, promoting and the development of their books.  Thank you for taking the time to read Hotlit's Blog and we look forward to hearing and working with you and if you have any questions and or suggestions please contact us at www.hotlitbooks.com.
