Ginger Nuts of Horror is 100% free, as the owner has always been wary of taking advertising, the site was set up as a thank you to all the authors who have entertained the owner for over 30 years, and as something to do when the owner was on long-term sick from work. It would be great to make money from the site, but that has never felt right to the owner. The owner has always felt that as soon as payment enters the picture, then the integrity of the site can be called into question, and if there is one thing you can say about the owner, it is that the owner is a straight talker. The owner did experiment with advertising a few years ago, and it just made the owner feel dirty, the owner didn’t like it. So if you’re looking to promote your horror based project, Ginger Nuts of Horror is here to help all free of charge. With the new year just waking up, the owner thought that this would be a great time to remind the world what the site can offer regarding horror promotion. REVIEWS The site has a dedicated family of reviewers, their tastes vary, and they don’t always agree on what they think is a good product, but they are honest, and they are willing to review books, films, comics, toys, video games, TV series, music or whatever else you have that is horror based. To make the process of organizing the requests easier, can you please use the email header to highlight what it is you are sending in for review such as: BOOK REVIEW: (YOUR NAME AND TITLE) FILM REVIEW: (YOUR NAME AND TITLE) Etc. Could you also please use this format in the body of the email to tell the reviewers what they are reviewing, such as: Title Type of Product (Book Film, Comic, etc.) Author Publisher Synopsis Amazon Link/ Website Link INTERVIEWS The site offers two types of interviews, in general, it will always start its “Five Minutes With” set of questions. These questions are designed to highlight your work, while not coming across as a purely “look at me” interview. One of the best ways to promote your work is to engage with a readership indirectly. In this age of social media, it can feel that everyone is shouting at everyone else to take notice of them. It can get somewhat overwhelming, and most readers switch off after a time. If you can engage with the readership by talking about your love of the horror genre in general, and then mentioning your work, you are more likely to get a conversion. We also offer a more in-depth interview, however, due to nature and time it takes to research these types of interviews thoroughly, the site as a rule doesn’t offer these to everyone who asks for an interview. These interviews are generally given to those, who the site knows will take full advantage of the time and effort the site puts into these interviews. GET IN TOUCH if you want to know more! In general, the site offers two types of news items. A dedicated stands alone news item, where your work is the sole item in the article or a News Blasts where your news will be part of a roundup of Horror News for the week. Both have their pros and cons; the individual one focuses the interest onto your article, but it may suffer some social media reach as those who are not interested in it won’t share it. Whereas the News Blast has a much higher social media reach but might result in those reading it skipping over your entry in it. If you’re submitting a news item, please indicate which of the two formats you would like yours to take part in. The cost of running this site is becoming astronomical, and this may well be the last year that the Ginger Nuts of Horror exists in this format.
