The Cafe Boudoir FAQ!

Cafe Boudoir is operated by authors for authors and its purpose is to sell books for authors. Café Boudoir does not take any commissions from the writers. All revenue from sales goes directly to the author as we promote self-published work by authors.
How Does it Work?
It is simple! Authors self publish their books at http://www.lulu.com/ or some other publishing site and we then link to each book at Cafe Boudoir. Some authors choose to offer both paperback and downloads but download is the most popular vehicle for cafe Boudoirreaders. We even offer advice if you are a first time author with a book and no idea how to publish! By the way, we do not censor! Authors can publish what they like!
I'm An Author - what do you need?
First of all, you should contact us and tell us a bit about yourself and your book(s).
Then we will need:
1. A short bio and 2 pictures/photos that you wish to use. Some of our authors use actual photos, some not showing all of themselves, others do not. The choice is yours but the picture must represent a human No animals or cartoons! Please take a look at the author pages on Cafe Boudoir to get ideas.
2. A synopsis of your book(s) will also be required as well as photos of the cover. Of course, we will need the lulu or other publishing link as well.
3. We then begin promoting your work. If you wish, we will also put your email address and web page link on your page as well. You must let us know if that's required.
That's it in a nutshell!
