Rachel Smalter Hall may be a professional Book Rioter, but she still hangs out in the public librarian clubhouse. Two of her top three loves include audiobooks and knitting, and her favorite song is Cold Hearted Snake as performed by Alyssa Edwards and Coco Montrese on season 5 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. She co-runs a boozy book club in Lawrence, Kansas, in her spare time. Twitter: @rach_smalls Website: Rachel Smalter Hall

Do you have your own website or blog where you write about books or comics? Riot wants to help you earn money for your words!

Book Riot and Book Riot Comics run an ad network called the Riot Ad Network, and we’re seeking awesome website publishers and bloggers to join us. We offer ads from Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Hachette, Chronicle, Scholastic, Disney, Audible, and others, and we welcome websites and blogs of all sizes from all over the world!

It’s easy to apply at riotadnetwork.com/apply. First, you’ll answer a few basic questions about your site. Then we’ll take a quick look at its content, appearance, and traffic, and reply within a few days to let you know if we’re a good match. If it’s a match, you’ll be joining other awesome websites like The Book Smugglers, Stacked, Quill & Quire, Feministing… and, of course, Book Riot.

(Tiny note about WordPress: the WordPress hosting service, WordPress.com, doesn’t allow ads from 3rd party ad networks like the Riot Ad Network. We unfortunately can’t serve ads to sites that are hosted at WordPress.com. If your site runs on WordPress but is hosted somewhere other than WordPress.com, you’re good.)

For details about earnings, ad sizes, and all that good stuff, swing by riotadnetwork.com/publishers to read more. Or you can apply directly at riotadnetwork.com/apply.

Let’s get this party started!
