Gay Authors Hosted Author
Rules and Requirements

Gay Authors currently has three levels of Author recognition: Promising Author, Shared Hosted Author, and Hosted Author. Gay Authors actively promotes all these authors with prominent billing on our main site and Author pages.

  • Promising Author - A Promising Author is a new or relatively new writer that is posting on Gay Authors eFiction section. They have been recognized as an up-and-coming author. Becoming a Promising Author automatically puts a person on track to become Hosted.
  • Shared Hosting - A Shared Hosting author is a writer that has been recognized having quality stories. Shared Hosting sites are all located on the same section of Gay Authors. They will be elevated as technical resources free up and Hosted Author requirements are reached.
  • Hosted Authors - Hosted Authors at Gay Authors have an audience. They have high quality work and are either recruited or actively grown through our Promising/Shared Hosting programs.

Questions and inquiries should be sent to CJames at CJames@gayauthors.org
