How to Add Your Book to Member Books

One of the best benefits of having a guild membership is adding any published books to the Member Books page, which is one of the highest traffic sections of the site, next to our Meetings page.

This page takes into account that you are already a member of the guild. NOTE: If you already have books listed, they will appear and you can edit their listings.

If this is your first time adding a book, we highly recommend printing this off!

1. Log in to the website (top-right of every page). Once logged in your name will appear instead of "Log In".

2. Click your name and a drop-down menu will appear. Select "My Posts" (see image below)

3. Click "Create a Post" in the top-right of the posts page.

4. Type the title of the book where it says "Add a Catchy Title" (DO NOT USE ALL CAPS!)

5. Click on the + and then the CAMERA icon.

6. Upload the FRONT COVER of your book in JPG format (max 1MB size)

7. The image then gets added to the post, but it's full-width. There's a menu along the top, the first icon allows you to change size, choose COMPACT. The next icon allows you to position the image, choose LEFT.

8. Go to your book sale page on Amazon, or wherever it is, and Cut & Paste the synopsis/book blurb. Cutting and pasting between platforms doesn't always format things properly, so you may need to make some adjustments.

9. At the bottom of the post you can click the + and in the middle is ADD A BUTTON. This creates a generate button that says "Click Me". Change the wording to indicate the site your link goes to, such as Amazon.com. Then click the GEAR atop the button and paste the link to the book sales page.

10. Look your posting over before clicking the PUBLISH button in the bottom-right corner.

Don't worry if you can't make it look exactly like the others on the Member Books page. You only have the ability to create a draft. Once you try to publish the post, the webmaster gets notified and they get to review (and format it to look like the others) before making it visible by the public.
