bloggerHappy Sunday, Ravenous Readers! This week I was nominated by Dee Jackson of MyDeeDeesDiary for the 2017 Blogger Recognition Award. Thank you for this amazing opportunity, Dee. It made my day!

If you get the chance, check out her blog. It’s worth a peek 🙂 A massive thanks to my subscribers, too,  who continue to be voices of encouragement, a merry band of book nerds, and creative motivators. You’re my bookish family and Ravenous for Reads would be starving without you. So, thank you <3

What is the Blogger Recognition Award?

The Blogger Recognition Award (BRA) is a celebration of YOU from the blogging community. Through acknowledging blogs for their dedication, the community encourages growth. The BRA gives exposure to lesser known bloggers and promotes interaction across all platforms. 
It’s the equivalent of standing on a roof and shouting to the city below, “You should be reading this blog. It’s awesome!”

How Ravenous for Reads Began:

Once upon a time, I was sick of doing everything except writing. One day, I was in Nursing school, a miserable girl convinced I’d been sucked into a reboot of Dante’s Inferno. The next day, I quit and started Ravenous for Reads. 

My Advice for New Bloggers:

  • Don’t be afraid to interact with other bloggers. This might sound like common sense, but you’d be surprised how many bloggers don’t network. Socializing with fellow bloggers is a HUGE advantage.
  • Add visuals and videos. Humans thrive on pictures, colors, and designs. We can’t help deviating to have a look at something that stands out. So use visuals and videos to capture your audience’s attention. Resource: I use Canva to create my visuals. Give it a whirl!
