Big Blogger, Little Blogger Project

Big Blogger, Little Blogger Project

When I saw Mikaela of The Well-Thumbed Reader first post about this Big Blogger, Little Blogger project, I signed up immediately!

What is the Big Blogger, Little Blogger Project?

The idea behind this project was to pair up two bloggers; one Little Blogger that has fewer than 100 followers, and one Big Blogger that has more than 100 followers. The Big Blogger was then to support the Little Blogger in various ways throughout the course of a month. At the end of the month, the Bigger Blogger will dedicated a whole blog post to their Little Blogger.

Once every Big Blogger participating has posted their blog posts, Mikaela will compile them all in a master post. So stay tuned to her blog for more details about that!

My Big Blogger:

I was paired with Ashley of Inside My Minds.

Ashley and I started messaging one another as soon as we were matched. It was her idea to do an interview, then I suggested that we brainstorm some questions together and then both answer them and create blog posts. This way, the new blog traffic will go both ways rather than just from her blog to mine.

Without further delay, check out my interview with Ashley!

Within the PMM publishing house, they also have the imprint, Ghoulish Books, which launched in January of 2022. Max’s latest book, Maggots Screaming!, launched today April 12th, 2022 from that imprint. In celebration, I’m so excited to be sharing this interview with Max!
