Advertise On My Website

Quick links on this page

Advertising Space No Longer Available

At the end of 2019 I stopped offering advertising space on my website. I now solely use Google AdSense to provide the adverts.

This decision was made due to time constraints. AdSense is automated, meaning it requires very little time to run. As my time is so stretched, as is Dave's (my bro and website developer), we decided to ease our workload.

Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you to all the individuals and businesses that have advertised on the site in the past. Your business is very much appreciated.

Below, you will find the old advertising page copy. I have left this on the site because I thought the performance stats might be of interest. It also means I can find the stats easily if I need them in the future :-)

Advertising Information And Statistics

I update the information on this page during January every year.

The current statistics were last updated in January 2019 and are based on data for 2018.

I do not currently use paid advertising to generate traffic to my site. The vast majority of visits originate from search engines or other websites in the online writing community.

My Website’s Audience

My website is primarily targeted at writers and the global writing community. I provide lots of free writing resources to help writers improve their stories, submit them to competitions and magazines and see them published.

These include:

  • Writing tips and advice
  • Previously published short stories used as case studies to show how tips and advice were used in practice to achieve success
  • Short story magazine lists
  • Writing competition lists
    • Short story competitions
    • Flash fiction competitions
    • Book and novel competitions
    • Poetry competitions
    • Non-fiction and essay competition

I also run an annual humorous writing competition which is growing in popularity every year. It currently offers 20 cash prizes with £1,000 for first place.
