We've enhanced our profile pages to provide authors with more real estate to promote what matters to them most and to drive more traffic to their websites and businesses. They now have a full page to promote themselves, their company, their personal blog or website, and (if you have one) your book.   Simply click on the "My Stuff" tab on the top right of our homepage to get started.

Seeking Alpha also offers a unique opportunity for authors and publishers to share their books with our readers via excerpts and/or book reviews.

Book Excerpts (For Authors and Publishers):
We publish excerpts from finance and stock market related books, usually over weekends. Excerpts are chosen by authors and publishers and submitted to us, for consideration by our editors. The decision to publish will be based on quality and estimated interest for our audience. New books are particularly interesting, but we'll publish excerpts from older books and classics as well.

Each excerpt contains a large image of the book cover, information about the author, and links for our readers to purchase the book. See, for example, excerpts from The Dick Davis Dividend and Active Value Investing.

We're happy to publish multiple excerpts over consecutive weekends, which can offer particularly powerful promotion of your book.

To promote your book on Seeking Alpha, authors and publishers should please send us the following:

1. Bookcover: The image should be clean, with no superimposed text or images (such as "See Inside This Book!"), and should be sent as an image file.
2. Link to Purchase Book: The link can be to any online store where the book is purchasable. However, we strongly suggest a link to Amazon, as that tends to lead to the highest volume of purchases. Authors may provide links via their own Amazon affiliate ID.
3. Photo of Author: The photo should be 140 by 140 pixels, preferably high-resolution.
4. Short Bio: The bio of the author should be no more than 200 words. Please word-count it to ensure it does not exceed this limit.
5. Link to Blog or Website: If the author has a blog or website, please send us a link to this page.
6. Excerpts: The author should select at least five excerpts from the book. Excerpts should make good stand alone reading, and should not exceed 1,500 words. The author should suggest titles for the excerpts (which will probably be different from the chapter title). Please send the excerpts as a Word document or text file, not as a PDF.
7. Contact information: Please send full contact information for the author, including email address and phone number.

Please email all the above items to BookAuthors [@] seekingalpha.com.
 

Book Reviews (For Publishers):
If you are a publisher and would like to have your books reviewed on Seeking Alpha by one of our contributing authors, please consider joining our Book Review Program.  By joining this program you agree to provide complimentary copies of our books in exchange for unbiased reviews by our contributing authors.  Articles that are selected for publication on our site, combined with our distribution partners, have a total reach of over 50 million unique monthly readers.  Book reviews are also often featured on our homepage over weekends.

Requests for Complimentary Books (For Seeking Alpha Authors):
Seeking Alpha contributing authors who are interested in writing book reviews are eligible to receive free financial books from various publishers.  We will arrange to have complimentary copies mailed right to our authors' doors and publish their thoughts on Seeking Alpha.  We hope to partner with additional publishers in the near future

Seeking Alpha has no financial interest in any of the books or publishers; we simply offer this service as a contributor benefit to help our authors receive books they might be interested in reviewing, We also do not guarantee that every review will be published.  Book reviews will still be held to our strict editorial guidelines.

If you would like to request free books to review, please email us at contributors@seekingalpha.com with your name, mailing address, phone number and the book titles you would like to receive.
