You could run naked down Madison Avenue at 2pm, or you could advertise with us, but both ways put you in front of a few thousand people! We here at the Smart Bitchery have been hard at work building a kickass community – so here is your opportunity to put yourself in front of that community. Our audience represents a worldwide readership of the romance genre, is mostly female, and is entirely awesome. To find out more about advertisement sizes, placement, and pricing, please inquire at ads@smartbitchestrashybooks.com, or fill out the form below.
If submitting your own ad, we accept GIF, and JPG files. We also can do a straight-text ad with links. More on ad art submission standards is available below. Not thrilled with designing your own button? Feel free to call on the Smart Bitches and their love of the Photoshop to help you out. You provide the graphics and we make it look all pretty. Fees available upon request.
No Fug Clause™: Both parties reserve the right to reject the ads if they’re deemed hideous.
Ads for books that have been reviewed by SBTB receive complimentary link to SBTB Review with mention of grade immediately below advertisement.
We reserve the right to reject any advertisement if they advertise or link to any content we deem inappropriate (e.g. child porn, pyramid schemes, Elmo fansites).
We reserve the right to change our rates at any time, but ads already purchased will be honored at the rate for which they were originally purchased.
Ads do not have to be about books or author promotion, or even for products. If you feel like trumpeting how much you like wearing dryer-fresh panties on your head, feel free.
We accept payment via Paypal, and will furnish our payment instructions once you’ve contacted us about an advertisement.
Ads do not constitute an endorsement of any sort on the part of the Smart Bitches.
Any questions, or have an interest in running naked down the avenue? E-mail us at ads@smartbitchestrashybooks.com or fill out the form below.
We’re retina conscious: New Ad Art Submission Standards
RETINA DISPLAYS: We want your ads to look lovely, even on the newest technology. If you’re unsure what a retina display is, here’s a link to the Wikipedia article.
Design, save, and submit your ad at double the stated size (for example, if your ad is 200×300, you should size your ad to be 400×600).
If your ad is a still image, save for web as a JPG at the doubled size (for this example, 400×600).
If your ad is a GIF, save for web as usual (for this example, 400×600)—The art will display at 200×300, so make sure that it is designed to be presented at that size (readability, etc.)
Following the above protocols makes images crisp at all screen resolutions, including the very high resolutions of retina displays.
K-SIZE: Also known as “Download Size,” this is different from dimension size. All non-animated ads should be submitted as JPGs, and regardless of dimensions, must be 100K or under. Animated ads should be submitted as GIFs, and should not exceed 300K (animated GIFS should be no more than 3 frames).
What it Means to be a SBTB Sponsor
Sponsorship is one of the many ways that you can be part of the SBTB community. Sponsors keep the Bitchery mayhem hot and fresh by helping to fund content on the site, and in turn, that content includes featured linkage and a big thank you to the sponsor.

We now have For Every Budget Mobile advertising, which can be booked in conjunction with the For Every Budget Desktop ads. Please email Sarah for more information and pricing!

Budget Ad FAQ
What Size Art Should I submit?
Your ad art file must be 400 pixels wide by 600 pixels high. We do not resize art, and your the art size must be exact to fit into our system!
What kind of art file should I submit?
Your art file should be a JPG or GIF. Budget Ads display at 200 pixels wide by 300 pixels high, so please plan your ad layout for those dimensions in terms of readability. However, you should design and save out your art at 400x600 (this will allow them to display optimally on all screens, including very high resolution Retina screens). See the ad art submission standards for more details on aspect ratio, size, and how to save our your art files.
How do I pay for my Budget Ad?
After you fill out the form a PayPal button will appear, which will redirect you to PayPal to make your payment.

Submissions are subject to the same restrictions as all other ads, as described above in the 8 quick Smart Bitch Ad “Things to Know!” If your ad doesn’t pass muster, either due to inappropriate content, or falling short of the No Fug Clause™, you will be refunded within 30 days of your submission.

Ad art submission standards are the same for For-Every-Budget Ads as they are for Premium and Standard tier ads, with the caveat that flat JPGs are preferred over GIFs (so as not to unduly drag down load times, because then, nobody’s ad is visible! 🙁 ).
